detonation in 3..2..1...

Ok, this is a cry for help on playing avi files.
If you happened to see my other posts a few days ago, I recently rebuilt my backend box to install the newest gbpvr build. Ever since reinstalling everything I have been unable to play avi files. OS is Vista ultimate, ffdshow, mencoder, ac3filter and probably more are installed and configured per the posts I’ve read/wiki.
Currently, I have Zprocess set up with MVP profile to use ffdshow. With that in mind whenever I try and play an avi file the picture looks great but there is no sound. If I switch it over to use mencoder the MVP crashes after a couple of seconds and goes back to the mvpmc screen. I have my playback options set to using ffdshow for the both audio options and the system default for sound rendering.
Now, more than likely I have no clue what the heck I’m doing. I had everything working quite well 8 months ago (avi files were fine!!!) before reformatting, now everything is going wrong.
If anybody has a minute to spell out any recommendations on configuration setups, or an entirely different setup, I would be grateful.


If not, please check back to see the youtube video of a old computer being blown up from frustration :eek:

I hate duplicate posts, and making them this dramatic is doubly annoying, but I will repeat what I said yesterday, if you have a question about Zprocess ask zehd here is his forum http://forums.gbpvr.com/forumdisplay.php?f=24

I figured you wouldn't have liked my suggestion to scrap the MVP for avi on-the-fly playback so I didn't bother giving it.

The one thing I can offer is taken from the Zprocess wiki page "GB-PVR Recording service is set to ‘interact with desktop’ <<< Must be done manually for now…."

you can set rec service to interact with a script line...

Code:

sc config "GB-PVR Recording Service"  obj= localsystem password= "" type= own type= interact

pretty sure it works in vista also...just run that line and then restart rec service..
