Problems with some remote buttons

[undret]

Hi. I am having problems with some buttons on the remote for the mvpmc. Most often when I watch a digital cable show, the pause button (and possibly some others) stops working. Strangely enough, they seem to work fine when I use analog. Also on movies, as far as I can see.

I like to pause live TV. :-)

Other buttons work fine, such as volume, change channels, stop and exit.

I just reinstalled by entire system, and thought this problem and other strange behaviour would go away, but this one did not.

Buttons work fine on the GBPVR-bundled dongle.
Is this something known that can be fixed? I checked the logs, and there are no trace of a Pause command when I get no response. When I do get it, I see a log entry for that.
I have not played around too much with the mvpmc.
Regards,

Which version of mvpmc? It is in the About screen on the main menu.

It is the latest version (Aug 24) I believe. But I have had it in an earlier version as well before I did the re-install.

The reason I asked about the version was that I did make a small change for 1.0.16 and I hoped that would help. Unfortunately it's really hard to debug digital cable to mvpmc because of the transcoding requirements. I also can't receive any HD digital content to test.

I use the recommended Cyberlink mux v. 1307 with no AC3 filter so my sound is out of sync, but I usually don't have a problem pausing but I have to make sure I wait for the OSD screen to show or I have problems. During a pause mvpmc is strictly responding to what the server tells it to do. What mux are you using?

I have noticed that gbpvr sometimes doesn't respond to a pause, but at the same time I noted that the pause command is being sent. I have seen this with the Hauppauge dongle too, and in fact because I run Vista, the remote message gets so messed up so much I can't really compare. When Hauppauge provides a better dongle, I will do more comparing

In the long run, I hope that gbpvr will send the raw mpeg-ts feed to mvpmc to avoid the whole muxing issue. If you are getting good results with the supplied dongle that probably is your best bet.
