I tried upgrading to 1.3.7 but can't get any combination of the HD-PVR and 1.3.7 working completely. I have seen other threads about no picture with audio with the HD-PVR in 1.3.7, but I'm not experiencing that issue. Here's what I see with 1.3.7:
HD-PVR firmware 1.0B:
Live-TV has video and audio working
Recorded programs have video but no audio
HD-PVR firmware 1.1:
Live-TV has video but no audio
Programs recorded with v1.1 f/w have video and audio working
Programs recorded with v1.0b f/w have video but no audio
In both scenarios, I am using the left/right RCA audio cables and not the optical SPDIF.
I have tried different audio codecs which no change. I understand that AC3 was added to v1.1 firmware and that 1.3.7 added support for this. I just can't understand why one or the other (Live TV or recorded programs) work for both drivers, but not simultaneously.
In 1.2.13, both live tv and recorded programs worked with the 1.0b driver, I had no problems whatsoever with the HD-PVR once everything was configured and updated properly. I would rather not downgrade to 1.2.13 as 1.3.9 addresses the HVR-2250 shared resource and HDHR PID filtering that I would really need to make my system complete. Right now, I'm still on the fence as to which brand of PVR software to run and was hoping this release of GB-PVR would seal the deal (and a donation).
Since there are several permuations here, I was hoping to get some guidance on which info would best help in troubleshooting. Would it be the logs for the 3 scenarios using the v1.1 drivers. Something else?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I really want to get my HTPC working properly and serving it's function.
Thanks.
