No video...

[maginnis]

Suddenly tonight, GBPVR no longer outputs video. I select a show and I get an image of what I assume is the first frame of the video stream. Audio stream is fine. I've completely removed and reinstalled GBPVR and I'm having the same problem. Currently using version 09612 on a Hauppage PVR250 under WinXP.

This applies to both Live TV and Recorded Shows. Videos in other applications (WMP, RealPlayer, etc) work fine.

I'm guessing some change on your machine has changed the default video decoder.

Its mostly your video decoder. Reproduce the problem, then zip and attach your gbpvr.exe-native.log file.

Attached.

I did find this line in the log:

23:01:27.906 VERBOSE FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: Encoder pass-through

You can ignore that. Everybody gets that.

23:01:28.265 VERBOSE Graph contains the following filters:
23:01:28.265 VERBOSE - Default DirectSound Device
23:01:28.265 VERBOSE - Video Renderer
23:01:28.265 VERBOSE - ffdshow Audio Decoder
23:01:28.265 VERBOSE - MainConcept (Adobe2) MPEG Video Decoder
23:01:28.265 VERBOSE - MPEG-2 Demultiplexer
23:01:28.265 VERBOSE - Capture
23:01:28.265 VERBOSE - Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II Crossbar
23:01:28.265 VERBOSE - TV Audio
23:01:28.265 VERBOSE - TV Tuner

There is no really obvious cause shown in the logs. If I had to guess, I'd say the problem is related to one of the two filters I've highlighted above. Can you temporarily try other decoders instead of these?

You dont have an expired MainConcept evaluation?

[maginnis]

OK, I know what's causing it. This started after I deinstalled an old version of Sony Vegas (5.0) and installed Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 - apparently it's that MainConcept decoder. I believe that ffdshow decoder showed up with the K-Lite Mega Codec pack. So, could someone walk me through the steps necessary to solve this?

Just explicitly set the audio and video decoders on the playback tab of the config app.

That did the trick. Thanks for the help!
