<UseBuiltInTSReader> in 1.3.7

BTW, this particular test file isn't an MPEG2, though I have these with no sound as well. But at least the video performance on the MPEG2 TS files is fine, unlike H264.

Not sure where to go next. All these files work perfectly outside of GBPVR, so I have the right codecs, right merit, or graphedt wouldn't work. If you have the file running then I'm stumped...and I guess we are likely to be at an impasse. Even if I could get the audio to start working, the video performance is so bad that it wouldn't be useable.

What does the graph section in the log show when you run the file?

What file date time does your GBPVRTSReader.ax have?

Are you on Vista? (in case file protection means you're not running the version you think you're running)

Date time is 4/12/08 05:17. (I believe this was the new one mentioned earlier in the thread).

No, I'm not running Vista.

There was a newer one posted, but try the same one I'm using. See attached.

I picked an MPEG2 TS file in Graphedt and inserted the appropriate filters (GBPVR TS reader, MPEG2-Demux, Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD7), AC3Filter) and the file plays fine with audio. But this can't be what is happening internally in GB-PVR, where the log entries look like this...

2009-01-01 21:13:19.156 VERBOSE Graph contains the following filters:
2009-01-01 21:13:19.156 VERBOSE - Default WaveOut Device 0005
2009-01-01 21:13:19.156 VERBOSE - Default WaveOut Device
2009-01-01 21:13:19.156 VERBOSE - Video Renderer
2009-01-01 21:13:19.156 VERBOSE - CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD7)
2009-01-01 21:13:19.156 VERBOSE - AC3Filter 0003
2009-01-01 21:13:19.156 VERBOSE - AC3Filter
2009-01-01 21:13:19.156 VERBOSE - CyberLink Audio Decoder
2009-01-01 21:13:19.156 VERBOSE - MPEG-2 Demultiplexer
2009-01-01 21:13:19.156 VERBOSE - SOURCE

For the H264 TS file, I did the same thing in GraphEdt (replacing Cyberlink with CoreAVC for H264) and this has audio too...still stutters though. Have to say I'm a little confused as to how/why MPEG2 Demux is involved in a file that is not MPEG2.

It is exactly what it does in GB-PVR, but does render the other pins on the demux aswell.

H.264 channels are broadcast in an MPEG2 transport stream container.

Ah-ha...progress. I now have Audio. MPEG2/TS files are now fine (though I haven't checked the sync yet). H264 video is still stuttery/unwatchable.

How is the CPU usage when you try?

Around 50-60%, which is much the same as when I use graphedt which picks up the default filters - Haali splitter, in place of GBPVR TS Reader and MPEG2 demux.

BTW, the full file which was the source of test.ts refuses to work in either GBPVR or GraphEdt (using GBPVR TS Reader - its just fine with Haali), just shows a black screen like its failed to read the file at all.

Nothing really springs to mind. I'm not sure how the reader could be source of your stuttering. This sort of things would typically be caused by decoders. Maybe try other decoders, or possibly other video renderers, to see if it behaves any better.

Its hard tell with out the file it front of me. Maybe see if you're able to reproduce this problem with a slightly bigger part of the file, and then make that file available to me. There is no known issues that would account for this.
