Some oddities

[NaNookles]

Hi there,

Trying to get GBPVR running on my HTPC and have encountered some issues.

I am using the latest version.

Initially when installed, it was exceptionally slow, so, I followed the system requirements and am now fully up to date, SP3 and the other bits required.

Now when I try and run GBPVR, it comes up with a dialogue box saying "Sorry this system does not support VMR9 Video Render".

Now this machine normally runs Meedio and has CoreAVC, FFDShow, DivX and XViD installed and when using Meedio, will play absolutely anything I throw at it.

Any ideas?

I am quite keen to get this running as I have heard it knocks all other HTPC front ends for six

change the setting under renderer to something other than evr

[stustunz]

what video card are you using ?

[NaNookles]

I do that and the thing will not run at all, completely freezes the machine.

What is VMR9 anyway?

Is it something to do with my graphics card?

[NaNookles]

what video card are you using ?

Sapphire Radeon 9200SE Atlantis.

I think it is an ATI.

[stustunz]

yes its the way handled by your video card
if you have a old card you may want to use overlay
overlay isnt as nice looking you lose some eye candy
you may need to update your video card drivers

[stustunz]

i have a 9200 on client machine it should work on vmr custom or FSE
evr should work aswell if you have service pack 3 you may also need to register the evr.dll file
maybe you need newer drivers

Ok well both Overlay and EVR just freeze up my machine.

it is odd as Meedio works a treat.

Oh well, I was hoping to go for a more modern front end but guess I must stick with Meedio

[stustunz]

it should work
just double check that you dont have your video/audio decoder NOT set to default

[NaNookles]

Oh dear me what a fool I am

I was configuring and testing this through remote desktop, it now works a treat using VMR9 on the actual machine itself.

Duh sorry for wasting your time guys I feel like such an idiot lol

Ok now I can start playing
