v0.97.7

[sub]

Sorry guys, with all the problems people are reporting, and with all the trouble I've had with my system in the past month (2 disks crashed, motherboard almost died of heat stroke, fans died, etc) - I cannot afford to take another hit on the Wife Acceptance Factor.
I will not be installing this version for now, unless I run into a problem and Sub (rightfully) refuses to help with an older version...
Sorry,

But still, I'll wait until I really have to. That's right - I am paranoid, nothing new there. I moved to 96.12 only 3 weeks ago because I had a problem and knew I had to move to the latest version to get support.

I'm in the habit of saying:
If it ain't broke don't fix it!
Especially when my PVR system is concerned...

Fair enough, I can respect a person's opinion that has decided to hold off upgrading until things have proven themselves to be stable...but...I dont know why you bother to post just to tell us you wont be installing it at this stage.

I am very disapointed the PVR 350 TV Out is no longer going to be supported.

This is very old news. I dropped support for it about a year ago.

This is the best picture you can get unless you have a expensive widescreen TV set with VGA or DVI i/p. I have not been able to find a Video Card TV Out that can come anywhere close to the quality of the 350. Sure I can stay with an old version however this is the BEST PVR software available and it would be nice to be able to benefit from future advancements. I would never have tried GBPVR if it had not supported the 350.

I agree it had great picture, but it also had some very serious problems and limitations, and the manufacturer has shown no interest in resolving these. I spent a good 18 months bang my head against these before deciding I was just wasting my time.

I seem to have a different error from everyone else - my mpeg2 video decoding seems to have gone on the fritz. I have tried all overlay modes etc with the default codecs and the standard codec I use (Main Concept Hauppauge I think), but only get a blank screen (with audio though). I can also no longer play the files with Windows Media Player, so obviously something has happened to the default codec setup. I have managed to get a picture with an intervideo video decoder, but it is a bit jumpy.

I have been playing around in graphedit trying to get a working default render but am not having too much luck. Is there a recommended graph filter/method we should be using?

cheers,

Can you reproduce the problem, then zip and attach the gbpvr.exe-native.log so I can have a look?

Here's another vote for the PVR350 - I have one and never had any troubles with it. It would be disappointing if the new version of GBPVR doesn't work with it :-( because it is the best PVR program out there (IMHO).

Even though you dropped support for it a year ago, it was working fine until now - can't be all bad then, or? :-)

Sorry, but support for it wont be coming back in the future, regardless of how many people wish it would.

I certainly havnt intentionally tried break anything with the PVR350 code in this release, but I dont have a PVR350 in my machine anymore, so it's not something I even casually try before each release. This release has undergone more changes behind the scenes than any other release, and something in there must of been incompatible with this old code.

After some trixing I have now managed to have almost the whole app working. Back to a very basic set up, blue skin, using only bundled plugins, removed all other plugins from the plugin folder. And yet Music Library refuses to play files. I get this message:

2006-05-14 22:26:32.500 ERROR [1] Error: msg=0x100 (WM_KEYDOWN) hwnd=0x110522 wparam=0xd lparam=0x1c0001 result=0x0 : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))

Attached logfile since a lot more is written to it related to this error.

I seem to be the only one with problems related to MusicLibrary after the upgrade. Any takers on the problem?

Okay, fair enough. I'm a bit weary to break my install so I'm hoping to read that someone did get the new release to work with the new version. (I did try to use my 6600GT's TV out, but the quality is so much worse than the PVR350).

whoops - looks like the "refresh" button was the wrong one to accidentally hit anyway, here is the gbpvr.exe-native.log, but it doesn't really show anything. I might see if I have a previous ghosted state of the computer that I can go back to and check on the graph.

cheers,
