Sub (and others)

The problem -
stuff recorded via dboxrecorder is recorded as .mpg - however this contains errors usually and can be somewhat troublesome to playback -

If i play it using WMP all is fine - have used several differnet codecs all ok -
If played under GBPVR - unwatchable due to jumping and stalls - have tried all available codecs (except nero i think) with no difference.

Using graphedit Ive traced the issue to the use of the mpeg-2-demuxer. If i use graphedit with that (as per the log files that show gbpvr uses it and the use of lastgraph) it carries on as in GBPVR. If substitute the mpeg-splitter all is fine.

I de-registered the mpeg-2-demux in order to force GBPVR not to be able to use it and was able to come up with a combination that was good for all mpgs, avi etc ................ BUT ........................
Then i found I was unable to record as the demuxer is used on the recording side.

So back in it went - problem returns.
No amount of demoting the mpeg-2-demux (its marked as do not use) and promotion of the mpeg-splitter makes a difference to GBPVR.

I know there is currently no way of specifiying a graph to use - but what
determines the use of the mpex-2-demux over the spilter ?

This is a clear case of GBPVR doing something different than WMP and no amount of fiddling with the codecs available seems to be able to resolve it.

This really sounds like a problem the author of the dboxrecorder needs to fix, rather than GB-PVR. That said you could try adjusting the <PreferredMpegPlaybackDemux> setting in config.xml.

Sub - thanks -
will have a play with that tonight -

hmm - the lossy nature of the mpeg upsets some things not others -
it might make sense to record it as a ts with the additional error handling rather than as a stripped out mpeg.

Let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the quick reply

Sub,
that did the trick -
removed a few superflous codecs, ive switched to the elecard MPEG2 demux and elecard decoder and all is happy -
system now works with dvr-ms,. mpg, mpg from dboxrecoder, avi etc.

I did look in the config file originally - but only as far as the first block of preference settings - oh well.

Backup time !!

Regards
