First another big thank you to Sub for the fantastic work so far, and each release just gets better and better. Here's my wishlist for even more GBPVR goodness:
* Command-line startup switches for aspect ratio and which screen to start on - my primary monitor is a the 4x3 CRT TV, my secondary is a 16x9 100" widescreen projector which we use when we watch movies. I currently have to do this using an ugly batch-file that rewrites config.xml "on-the-fly" with the correct Aspect-ratio and Start-on-second-monitor XML settings before it starts PVRX2 (BTW if anyone wants a copy of this I'm happy to post it in the forums).
* Auto-zoom feature that works out the best way to zoom a video automatically, without changing the aspect ratio, so it reaches the edge of the screen in at least one direction (top/bottom or left/right) and therefore uses the maximum screen "real-estate" available without losing any edges or being distorted.
* FF and Rew keys to work the same in Music Library as they do when playing videos, i.e. skip back and forward within the track
* Ability manually to add a description to recordings, for when the TV guide doesn't have one (or when I stupidly and accidentally delete my recordings database and have to reimport the recordings!)
* Ability to manually add a description to movies in the video library - guess that would probably require a movies database; is there already a a plug-in that allows this?
* Setting to make the volume control adjust just the WAV output, so it will work when using SP/DIF output
* Fix the problem where video playback freeezes when FF, Rew, Skip, Replay or Pause is pressed when using EVR under XP for watching DVDs (works fine for AVIs).
