I am signing off now. I will check again tomorrow morning (my time!)

I just checked that file and it played back fine for me in PVRX2 with the internal TS reader. I had both video and audio. I'm thinking your missing audio probably just relates to the nvidia audio decoder doing something funny. I'd try some other audio decoder.

I just realised I wrote: "Using internalTS Reader, I get audio but no sound."

I should have said, I get video but no sound.

Anyhow I will try using another audio decoder anyhow just in case. ANy recommendations? ffdshow one?

I use AC3 Filter - but that's for the BBC HD channel I guess, but it does a good job with the others too - I pass through pretty much everything to the SPDIF though.

If you get no video, then I'd try another video decoder. As I mentioned earlier, most people are using the Cyberlink H.264 decoder.

okay i downloaded powerdvd8. Same problem. Then I installed ac3 filter and now I can playback using the internalTS reader.

However still no LiveTv/Timeshifting.

I have including the graphedit file. It seem to be treating the mpeg4 stream as an mpeg2 stream, which perhaps explains why the audio is okay but no video during livetv?

[danIrl]

spoke to soon. internalTS reader is not working too well. tried to fastFWD and then it failed. could no longer watch recording.

Sub: Which bda multiplexor do you use and what decoders do you use? As would be displayed in graphedit?

You cant open .grf files on other machines, so I cant look at that file. Reproduce the problem with live tv though, then zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

Did you select the Cyberlink H264 decoder on the playback tab of the config app? Its a better idea to do this than rely on 'system default'.

Its just a problem with live tv in timeshift mode? ie, Does it work with live preview mode? or playing an in-progress recording?

[danIrl]

yes cyberlink decoder is explicitly set in the playback tab

I have the "use live preview mode if possible" set. If I uncheck this, I get nothing. Watching an inprogress recording just gives me audio only.

If i press the * key on the remote during livetv, the video type is listed as mpeg-2 and the resolution is not the same when pressing same button for a completed recording.

Log files attached.

I am not sure this is related to mpeg4/avc recording. But rather any ts recordings, as I had this problem with mpeg-2 TS recordings aswell. It is a pity there are no mpeg-2 ts transimissions I could test with this latest version of gbpvr.
