PVRX2 Crash on channel changing

[crlorentzen]

Windows XP SP3
Hauppauge HVR-1800 fresh install of latest drivers
QAM channels
GBPVR 1.2.13 new install

I was scrolling through the QAM channel lineup using my mouse when the PVRX2 application just vanished. No error message, no Microsoft Report.

I then re-opened PVRX2 and proceeded to the live TV again and continued scrolling up and down through the QAM Channels. PVRX2 crashed again this time with the option to report to Microsoft.

Logs collected after restarting the GBPVR recording service. Includes the first and second event.

GBPVR configuration
Renderer: VMR9 Custom
MPEG 2 Video Codec InterVideo NonCSS Video Decoder also tried and had the same failure with MainConcept (HCW) MPEG-2 Video Decoder (I had selected MPEG Video Decoder, but directshow must have selected the other codec
All other codes system default.

Using Live Preview Mode
Using <BDASubmitTuningRequestTwiceOnLivePreview> true

I guess the next step would be to test with 1.2.9 and see if it shows the same issue, but I don't have the time tonight.

Does it do it when changing to the same channel every time?

[crlorentzen]

Doesn't appear so, and I have not been able to find a pattern.

You may want to try specifying the audio decoder. You also may want to try a decoder other than the ffdshow audio decoder.

...lets say for argument sake for now that Hauppauge's driver support stinks and after reverting to the previous driver release I have not been able to see the problem again. I will update this thread if the problem returns.

Thanks for looking at things whurlston.

EDIT: I was really tired last night and getting punchy and I may not have been properly analyzing things...with the reverted drivers the Audio Codec being selected was HCW AC3 Audio Decoder, not sure why as its Merit is below ffdshow...Will update tomorrow with more accurate testing, if I still have an issue. My main concern, and why Is elected ffdshow for my Ac3, is SPDIF passthrough support.

Would you recommend another codec as being more stable for AC3 passthrough int PVRX2?

No problem, glad you got it worked out.
