Support for Hauppauge HD-PVR 1212

I tried to play a .TS file. GB-PVR didn't even open it.

Post your pvrx2.exe.log and pvrx2.exe-native.log showing an attempt to play the file.

Try running ReRegisterFilter.bat.

I think I have all my filters registered correctly (see attached log files) but I can't play back .TS files with GB-PVR - I hear audio with no video. They play fine in TotalMedia Theatre (version 2.1.4.108) and in vlc. I recorded these files with Arcsoft TME.

Is there anything I can do to help troubleshoot these HD-PVR encoding and decoding problems? I can't wait to get this working in GB-PVR.

Did that. Earlier the file was not playing at all. Now I see blank screen.

I dont know. I'm guessing those decoders you tried to manually register are not really in a functioning state.

This sounds VERY similar to the problem I had with recordings. My guess is that you do not have the updates from the survival thread applied and that is why you are getting the blank screen on playback. I had the same experience.

One thing you should try it to use LiveTV instead of dealing with the recordings. I initially got LiveTV working before the patches would work with a recording.

Older versions of the TME software installed ArcSoft decoders that were usable by third party apps, but they changed that recently.

Sub,

Did ArcSoft really make the h264 decoder unusable or did they just not register it when installing TME? After installing TME version 1.0.9.5 that was on the HD-PVR 1.0.5.301 CD, 'System Default' was the only entry for H.264 Decoder. I then copied ASVid.ax and ASH264Vid.dll from the "C:\Program Files\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Extreme\Codec" folder to "C:\WINDOWS\system32" and registered ASVid.ax. An 'ArcSoft Video Decoder' now appeared as a H.264 Decoder choice.
After selecting the 'ArcSoft VideoDecder' I was able to watch a .TS recording from the HD-PVR.

The ArcSoft decoder version was: 2.25.138.58 X86, Oct8, 2008 10:15:08

A search of the registry found that only the "C:\WINDOWS\system32" copy of ASVid.ax was registered.
