Question about NVidia decoder

[acidfiend2003]

Anybody else having the same problem with the Nvidia purevideo decoder?

I run in fullscreen mode so I don't know whether I have a try icon or not. I'll try to take a look this evening and let you know.

I experienced this too. When I config to use NVIDIA as mpeg decoder I got no Nvidia tray icon - when I config to use "system default" mpeg decoder, it used Nvidia and the tray icon appeared.

Seems to me that it might use a different decoder to the one specified in the config app when playing back a recording rather than watching Live TV? would that be a fair assessment?

You can see the list of decoders that ended up being used in the gbpvr.exe-native.log file.

I have the same symptoms as acidfiend2003 with the nVidia decoder. The tray icon appears during LiveTV with encoder pass thru but does not during playback of recordings. I have convinced myself that it is still using the nVidia decoder by looking at the log as sub states and by changing settings in the nVidia setup page (such as contrast) and seeing the setting take effect during playback. I do wish it would appear because I would like to tweak settings during mpeg playback.

The log does indeed seem to indicate it is using the nvidia video and audio decoders, and lastgraph.grf looks right in GraphEdit. So I'm pretty stumped as to why the Nvidia tray icon doesn't show up...

I had that problem w/ the old version. In the new version, I found out even when I set it as default in windows, it still wasn't being used. Once I forced it in the GB control panel as the defaults for tv, it showed up.

Tip: If you use ffdshow to do postproc for TV viewing (for audio or vid), and you have it set to show the tray icon when in use, you can right-click on that, and get to the decoder being used for tv.

If you try the DirectShow Filter Manager http://www.softella.com/dsfm/index.en.htm) you can set "merits" for individual filters on your system. It certainly helps if you want programs like Windows Media Player to use particular MPEG2 decoders for example.
