DVD Playback not working

[cbutera]

Hi everyone,
Trying to make the transition to NPVR. Everything working okay for the most part - except DVD playback. Both Discs and Hard Drive ripped video_ts folders don't play video. Discs seem to at least play audio - whereas the hard drive rips don't seem to do anything.

Found this in my npvr.log

Code:

2010-10-13 19:16:15.852 [DEBUG][1] Adding EVR renderer 2010-10-13 19:16:16.317 [DEBUG][1] about to load video decoder 2010-10-13 19:16:16.422 [DEBUG][1] about to load audio decoder 2010-10-13 19:16:19.937 [ERROR][1] DVD Navigator pin failed to render 2010-10-13 19:16:25.051 [DEBUG][1] Source Aspect Ratio: 1x1 2010-10-13 19:16:25.052 [DEBUG][1] Setting display rect: 0.200000,0.000000,0.800000,1.000000 2010-10-13 19:16:25.731 [DEBUG][1] Graph filter list: 2010-10-13 19:16:25.732 [DEBUG][1] - Default DirectSound Device 2010-10-13 19:16:25.732 [DEBUG][1] - ffdshow Video Decoder 2010-10-13 19:16:25.732 [DEBUG][1] - EVR Renderer 2010-10-13 19:16:25.732 [DEBUG][1] - AC3Filter 2010-10-13 19:16:25.732 [DEBUG][1] - DVD Navigator

Specifically this is what stood out to me:
2010-10-13 19:16:19.937 [ERROR][1] DVD Navigator pin failed to render

I've tried different decoders with no luck. For what its worth the DVDs play correctly with WMP, VLC, Cyberlink, and PVRX2.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Try a different MPEG2 video decoder or double check your ffdshow video decoder settings.

Okay CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD9) worked for physical DVDs. Still no luck with the ripped Video_TS folders...

Still no luck - I'm banging my head against the wall here... I've tried all the decoder combinations on my system. It works everywhere but NPVR - graphedit, VLC, WMP, PVXR2. But no sound, no video in NPVR. Physical DVDs now work fine - just my DVD rips (VIDEO_TS) folders no luck.

I downloaded Graphedit and tried to figure out what was going on - but it looks okay to me???

Logs are attached as well...

Thanks in advance for any help...

Hi There, I'm a little slow out of the gate on this reply but you are changing Codecs under the DVD tab under SETTINGS?

[ShiningDragon]

If you're running nPVR 1.5.33 you could try to apply one (or all) available hotfixes for nPVR: http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...post385332

Please try again and post your results, please.

Thanks for the replies - I'll try the hotfixes next time I'm home. And yes I was changing the DVD codecs...
