This happened today and I dunno why...

[NLS]

Maybe even yesterday. I haven't done ANYTHING (having to do with my GFX and TV cards or the OS) these two days.

For GBPVR I just added (for the heck of it) the LCD plugin that a user in here made (although I haven't seen it working... nor is present in plugins tab - could this be related?) and I just deleted the source and re-added it twice (because I wanted to clean up my channel list and build a new one).

So (after this long intro) what is the bug?

I cannot see ANY graphics displayed over my TV screen! I remember when I pressed a number in my remote it used to display it (with a very small font) at the bottom right. Also I could pop up the mini guide... now nothing happens. I just see tv playing and nothing goes over it!
(btw remote is working, if I press 3 and enter, I do get to channel 3, I just don't see number 3 on screen nor info about the channel).

My TV is using overlay, but this is what it used all the time.
It's a WinXP SP2 machine with DX9c.

What happened???

I have a similar problem where the osd only shows if I use vmr9. I do not use any plugin so I would guess it is not related to that (?). I also am using the TV out but its on a ATI card.

it is an ATI 9700Pro here too (I use this tv out)
the tv card is a hauppauge pvr-350

the thing is that I made NO CHANGES and I DID see OSD before (all days up to I think yesterday)

...strange

I am now going to try VMR etc. but I think overlay is always preferable right?
