Decoder Problem with HD Homerun Connect

[Curly]

I have nextPVR 3.7.7 installed and works fine with an internal TV card in the PC.

I installed an HD Homerun Connect. Scanned the channels, setup the devices in NextPVR all good, no errors.

I can view the channels in the HD Homerun viewer

In NextPVR I can view HD channels sound and picture but on SD channels I only get the sound and blank screen. I have tried different mpeg2 decoders but they all give the same results.

In all cases the NextPVR status window shows the channel is being streamed so I'm sure it's just a decoder issue.

Any pointers for what to check ?

Cheers

If you do a recording on of these problem channels, does it playback with video in NextPVR? Does it give video in another player?

I updated the LAV decoders package on the PC and activated that rather than the ffmpeg ones that I had been using. This solved it. I did originally try some LAV decoders that were already on the machine but they were an older version and didn't work, I needed the newer versions.

The LAV video decoder is usually regarded as to be avoided as it doesn't work well in NextPVR. I now use Kodi clients for playback but when I used a NextPVR client I used Cyberlink or FFDSHOW decoders although MPEG2 is disabled by default in FFDSHOW.
