GBPVR Gets New Version 1.3.7

The developer of GBPVR has been hard at work updating the free, HTPC software GB-PVR and this weekend released the latest version of the software GBPVR 1.3.7
 
                    Screen-shot of the new GB-PVR “slick” Skin
  • New UI Skin settings allowing easier customization to make the nice-looking user interface just the way you want it
  • New skinning support for specifying the number of buttons to show, and offset between them, and background mask, in the horizontal menu.
  • Includes a new “experimental” skin called slick.  It’s loosely based on the XBMC “Aeon” skin
  • Ability to record multiple channels from the same multiplex with the same digital card (only possible with the ‘TS Mux’ option.)
  • Ability to play ITV HD recordings
  • Internal TS reader updated to handle H.264+AC3 (AVCHD) streams generated by the latest HD-PVR firmware
  • Added PID filtering for the HDHomeRun to improve network efficiency
  • Photo Library caching of thumbnails fixed
  • Netradio screen fixed
  • Improved handling of mp3 playback that were a problem in the past (mp3s with embedded album art)
  • Many other misc fixes
To go along with the new version of GBPVR, there's an updated version of the Web Admin program for GVPVR users as well.
