Xlobby with GB-PVR

Has anyone here used GB-PVR? If you have, what do you think about it?

Have you integrated it into Xlobby?

I've been playing with it just a little bit, not much. Sorry, I don't have much very useful information. I'm still not doing too much PVR stuff, but it works with my PVR-150 card and it's easy to use.

The only problem I have is that my recorded programs don't play back with sound, but NONE of my mpegs do, so I think the problems is with my setup.

I haven't integrated it with Xlobby. I was planning on just launching it from Xlobby rather than integrating it at first.

Ton_loc,

I've been able to create a button in Xlobby to sendfocus to GB-PVR. In GB-PVR I've configued an external application to run (which creates a button) to sendfocus back to Xlobby. It works great, only you have to have both programs running and not minimized (or sendfocus.exe will not work). The only problem I have is that when sending focus from GB-PVR back to XLobby, I get a default black screen with white text saying "Execute External Task". I've asked the GB-PVR creator if it can be turned off, answer....NO, not at this time, nor is he thinking of it.

Actually, I like it (GB-PVR that is). Very easy to work with, easily skinnable (just have to understand xml format). Except for the buttons, it looks very much like my Xlobby skin.

Once I finally get a capture card, I'm really going to enjoy it then.
