No OSD in Playback

[der Karl]

I've been using this for a couple of months now, and just recently found out that an OSD is supposed to be displayed during recordings (didn't even know it existed), I've tried all of the remote buttons and keyboard shortcuts, and here is what I've gleaned from changing config settings.

• VMR9 Cutom - NO OSD during playback, everything functions fine
  
• VMR9 fullscreen esclusive - OSD during playback, no video only sound
  
• EVR - doesn't work with what I have
  
• Overlay - OSD during playback, video and sound but cannot get video in correct aspect ratio (always stretched) unlike VMR9 Custom
  

I'm using PVRX2 obviously and the latest release.

Any help, or other information that would bring further insight.

I'll thank anyone in advance for the help, and to be honest I can get along just fine w/o, but an on screen timeline would be nice, and before I knew its supposed to be there I took it for an odd thing not to include.

Reproduce the problem then zip and attach the pvrx2.exe-native.log and I'll take a look.

i think the blue button on my hauppauge remote gives the info when playing back recordings (or anything, for that matter) - handy when you want to know the time!

Ok, here is a copy of the "PVRX2.exe-native" log file.

What I did was start up PVRX2, went to recordings, selected an episode, played it, hit the green button, then the blue button on the remote, paused it and hit play again, then exited the recording, and exited the program.

At no time did any form of on screen display appear during the recording.

You are having this problem because you're using an old version of the Cyberlink decoder which isnt compatible with VMR9. It ends up creating an Overlay window on top of the VMR one to show the video. Behind the window is another one you cant see that is showing the OSD.

This is easily resolved by switching to a decoder that is compatible with VMR9.
