PVR freezes during playback...

[jonack]

Hey all any help would be wonderful:

Here is my issue:

For some time now, PVR has frozen while watching a recorded program. Once I restart PVR, it will work fine. I have uninstalled all extra's, the recordings are going to one HDD, and the TV buffer is on another HDD. I have noticed that it even happens while we are recording a program and watching a different one back. This recently started happening, but no changes have been made to the computer. I updated to the latest version of GBPVR to see if that would fix it to no avail. Logs are attached...


here is my system:

Dell Dimension 3000 Pentium 4 3.0GHZ, 1GB Ram, NVIDIA GeForce 5200FX

Thanks for your help!

I cant say its definitely the cause, but its an odd selection of decoders being used. I'd explicitly set the decoders on the playback tab, to values other than 'system default' or those I've highlighted above.

These are pretty reliable decoders:

Thanks for the help Sub. I will try them and see what that does. For the advanced Codecs, should those be left to System Default or are there Codecs you reccomend for the H.264, aac, and HE-ACC?

Thanks in advance!

You're not using H.264/HE-AAC etc, so you dont need to worry about them. Leave them set to 'system default'.
