Help, no video only audio

[sdowney717]

It scans the channels and finds them.
I am using vbox 3560 and the latest version of gbpvr

But all I see is a black screen and hear the audio

I installed codecs from this site.

I dont see video in the auto scan list but only hear sound there as well.

Zip and post your log files.

ok,

Its most likely to do with the video decoder you're using. Try selecting a different one on the playback tab.

[sdowney717]

I think I tried everyone of them

what I am looking at is the gbpvr configuration, playback tab

there is the 'renderer' and then there is the mpeg2 - playback and then the advanced codec

which one should i switch?

I got it working with the dscaler mpeg1-2 codec!

[sdowney717]

there are like 4 listed in the codec section.
default
dscaler mpeg2 video decoder
gpl mpeg1/2 decoder
ffdshow video decoder
MPEG video decoder


but only dscaler works, why is that?

[sub]

Probably a variety of reasons. The ffdshow video decoder often needs the user to PVXR2.exe to the list of applications it'll work with (ffdshow setting). I think the gpl mpeg1/2 decoder is standard definition, etc...

[sdowney717]

since i just randomly managed to find dscaler working, is there a better one to pick and install?

There is no "best decoder", they work differently on different machines. Just use whatever works well for you.
