Timeshift & Recording Pause/Freeze on start

[grahamm]

Hey all,

Whenever I start a timeshift or recording, I get the "entering time shift mode" screen and then when the video is restored, it is paused/frozen. Pressing play or pause alone does not bring it back but pressing pause then play quickly does. Any ideas to what may be causing this? I will attach the log file.

Also during hockey recordings if the camera pans too quickly its quite blurry/distorted, kinda looks like interlacing problems on top of a already slightly blured picture. My comp is P4 3.2 160GB HD 1GB RAM GeForce fx 5700 video card so I can easily decode mpeg2 so which decoder do people generally have the best experience with using nvidia cards? Im currently on Intervideo non css w/ VMR9 or something along those lines and it looks quite good except for fast motion.

Lastly, is there any way to change the size of GBPVR gui seperately from the video stream, because I like to have the video slightly cut off to achieve that nice clean border on the tv, but that makes the gbpvr text right at the edge in the video library and its annoying the heck out of me!

Try setting your deinterlacing setting to encoder passthrough. It should help.

You could try editting the following settings in config.xml:

<OverScanBorderX1>0</OverScanBorderX1>
<OverScanBorderY1>0</OverScanBorderY1>
<OverScanBorderX2>0</OverScanBorderX2>
<OverScanBorderY2>0</OverScanBorderY2>
<OverScanVideoAlso>true</OverScanVideoAlso>
