Blank Screen when Live TV??

[fivefive]

You could try setting <BDASubmitTuningRequestTwiceOnLivePreview>true</BDASubmitTuningRequestTwiceOnLivePreview> in config.xml. I dont know if it'll help though.

tried that... doesn't seem to work either...

Ok, glad you got it working one way or another.

Sorry to resurrect this but I have the same problem and would like to stick with GBPVR if possible.

I have a Hauppauge HVR900 - configured as BDA Recording Plugin, DVB EPG Broadcast - tuned it in getting lots of channels on preview during scan but when I try to watch live TV I get nothing, it is just blank.

Can anyone help?

What video decoder and render are you using? Zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

Thanks for your response.

Sorry for delay I had to go away for a few days.

Which logs can I send?

[Sways]

I'll have a guess at the logs. I've zipped the whole logs directory so hope it is ok.

Video decoder is System default

Renderer is VMR9

Hope that is enough information. Thank you for trying to help.

I notice you machine is using the Ligos audio decoder, which has caused problems for several users in the past. I'd try getting that decoder out of the equation.

Its also best to explicitly select the audio/video decoder rather than using 'system default' which tells Windows to pick some random decoder, like this Ligos one.

Try other combinations of audio/video decoder.
