Long story short, I'm an idiot and had to reformat my PC because apparently I can't tell the difference between a bad HDD and 8 blown capacitors on the motherboard, so I figured I'd play the masochist this week and install 1.5.whatever.was.released.Christmas.Eve.
After a couple failed installs involving .Net framework, then Windows Firewall (where I briefly installed GBPVR 1.47 only to have the same issue getting the MVP to find the server before the light bulb lit up in my head), including installing XP twice, I finally have 1.5.w.w.r.C.E installed, my 2 analog capture sources are listed, I have an EPG and I can play a couple old recordings left over from 1.4.7... on the MVP... using dongle.bin if that makes a difference.
When I navigate through videos to the location they're stored in, I get nothing, no video or audio when playing through NPVR on the server. I have basically no decoding options in setup. I think there's one for audio, and all that does is cause the recording I play to stop after a couple seconds. If I leave it on default it's 'acting' like it's playing, I just can't see or hear anything.
Is this a case where I need to install decoders, kinda like Windows MCE where you either have to install a DVD player or pay for MMpeg decoders in order to play a DVD? I have PowerDVD somewhere I can install if that will help.
