I have previously used GBPVR with VMR9 custom and PDVD8 decoder for H264 and DXVA. All working on an older P4 3200 and NVIDIA 9500 GT. CPU load <10%
Now on npvr, I can't get DXVA working anymore. CPU load is constantly close to 100%. I have tested VMR9 custom, other renderes don't really work. ffdshow= no picture at all. PDVD 8 and 11 (SAF 6 unl) = no DXVA. Arcsoft = no DXVA and really bad stuttering.
I'm having an issue with the current (just updated, June 6) and the previous. Maybe a codex issue?
if I go into a dvd that I have ripped onto the hard drive (videos), some of the dvd's menus do not display/update graphic. I can tell I am in the menu as the audio is running, and if I select blindly the menu behaves, but I just can't see it. Not all DVD's show this, but some do. If I use another program, such as DVD media player classic, the menu looks ok and works properly, but not in nPVR. (does this make sense?)
My motherboard recently broke down, and I have now finally had it exchanged. Got things up and running fairly easily, but it seems my old pvr-350 got a bit upset by it all. After I exchanged the motherboard it now randomally freezes. Well, if I watch live tv (no timeshift), the picture freezes suddenly. This can happen after a couple of hours, or after a few minutes. I haven't found any pattern to when it happens. If I record stuff, then it suddenly just stops recording sometimes. I'm assuming it's the same underlying cause.
Any ideas what might be wrong? Is it time to ditch my old faithful servant? Or is there something I could try first?
Didn't notice this being missing from GBPVR but when you use the Episode Search function and it finds some matches it doesn't tell you what day of the week the program is on.
This makes it difficult to set recurring recordings for specific days without looking at a calendar.

Help with documenting the Bulk Map features of NextPVR on the Configuration.Channels wiki page would be gratefully received. I've never used it and not sure on the details of it's used.
