Forget my Server 2008 thread, now Vista x64 is my problem

[speedee39]

I have GBPVR running on a Vista x64 Enterprise box, but I get a problem while recording and when I try to watch live TV. I have the most updated drivers for my Hauppauge PVR150 card and the latest version of GBPVR, and I installed the vcredist. I have the K-Lite codec pack installed, and .NET 2.0 came with the OS.

Just a week ago I had all of this working on an XP x64 box. My config is the same, except that I don't have access to my Cyberlink codecs because (surprise surprise) my version is incompatible with Vista.

When I try to watch live TV, the app crashes, but the GBPVR recordin service tray icon stays green and the status claims that I'm watching live TV. Even when I open PVRX2 back up and try to watch a different channel, it says I don't have an available tuner. Restarting the recording service eliminates the status error of the recording service, but it doesnt' solve any problems.

Recorded TV has jittery or no video at all, and the audio is also jittery. Any thoughts? I'll send whatever logs you want, just let me know!

Reproduce the problem, then zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

Thanks! Here they are. I just gathered all my log files because I wasn't sure which one would be relavent. I also ran the filtercheck.

I cant see an obvious cause in the log, but try it with 1.2.13, which has slightly better logging than 1.2.9.

[speedee39]

Odd, I thought that's what I had installed. :confused: Here are the new logs.

[sub]

There is no sign of any errors in those logs.

Is there any useful messages in the Windows Event Viewer?

I found that my application log has a few errors regarding PVRX2 crashing, and every one of these events looks like this:

...where my computer name and domain is xxxx for privacy reasons. I appreciate you looking into this, and it buggers me right up that I can't find the solution either. I have seen success stories of this working on Vista x64, so I'm wondering if the Enterprise addition is lacking in certain files. Or features.

I didn't say this earlier because the problem seems to have corrected itself after I changed the deinterlacing option, but after I first installed GBPVR and let it record a show, my system would pause every few seconds: mouse, screen refreshes, etc. I narrowed it to the DPCs service erratically jumping in CPU percentages, but I perhaps this helps shed some light on my problem?

Sorry, I dont know. There is no real obvious clues in the info I've seen.

[speedee39]

Thanks sub, if I find the solution I'll be sure to post it.

Interesting.

I have the same issue (well black screen) and I also have Vista x64 and a Gigabyte P35 motherboard.

Not saying they are connected, but I have used GBPVR for years and am almost to the point of giving up as I can't get this to work anymore.
