OSD lockups

[watcher]

Apologies if this has been addressed before, but I've not found mention of it in the forums. I'm having trouble with the TV out display when I try to use the remote while the OSD is showing. In other words, I'll skip ahead with fast-forward which causes the OSD to come on. If I wait for the OSD to go off and then hit FF again it works fine. If I hit FF while the OSD is on it will lock up the TV OUT signal. The display will freeze on the TV but I can get back to the menu on my computer. Usually restarting the gbpvr application will fix it. I tried SageTV and don't have the problem with it but want to stick with gbpvr. I'm running 94.13 on XP Pro, P4 3.2Ghz, 2Gb ram, with USB-UIRT and Hauppauge 350.

Thanks.

This is a common problem for PVR350 users using the TV out. The error occurs in the PVR350 drivers on some machines. The most popular theory is that it is some type of conflict with the motherboard DMA controller.

I no longer develop for the PVR350, or actively support it, so this will not be fixed in the future. Sorry.

Unless Hauppauge does something in a driver update. I would not hold my breath, though ;-)

The only reliable fix would be to use software decoding. That helps.
