Been working with GBPVR for the past week or so, and am still tweaking everything.
I am running on a Dell Dimension 8200, P4 1.7, 256MB RDRAM. Got two HDD's, 40GB and 80GB. Ive set the 40GB as my system, music, and downloaded video drive, and the 80GB drive is solely for live tv buffering and recorded show storage.
I am having an issue when I bring up any kind of OSD while watching live tv, that the live tv pauses briefly, or jerks for a few seconds, while im doing anything with the OSD. If i let the OSD sit on screen, video resumes playing smoothly, but as soon as i press a button, like to browse to another line on the guide, video chops up again. I have been assuming this is related to memory on the machine (256MB, yuck), but wanted to see if anyone had suggestions before I plopped down the cash for more RDRAM.
Things I have tried:
- Quartz DLL fix
- Disabling Deinterlacing
- Tried at VMR9, VMR7, Overlay Manager
Also, the second issue I am curious about. When the STB has its channel changed, it pops up a channel banner, which you can see through the OSD provided by GBPVR. I searched the skin files for some type of setting, but couldnt find it. Is there a way to make the channel "marquee" that pops up when you change channels solid instead of transparent? Also, is there a way to increase the duration that the "marquee" stays on the screen? If i can make it stay up for like 2-3 more seconds, it can hide the comcast banner pretty nicely.
Thanks to sub for this great software. I tried all the others, and this is the best.
