DVD playback broken on 1.4.7

Wakalaka · 2009-10-18, 06:58 PM

What data can I provide to debug my DVD playback issues? It seems every version of GB-PVR breaks my previously working DVD playback. I have tried many DVD decoder configurations, but nothing works -- 300 movie DVD starts playing but then locks up immediately.

I uninstalled all of the video codecs I was using and installed this SAF thing and PowerDVD9. The DVD plays back using PowerDVD9 and KMPlayer.

...and did you install some "on the fly" DVD decrypter like AnyDVD?

I don't have any "on the fly" DVD decrypter installed. What is the app that shows the filter graph?

If you are using latest SAF, there is START - SAF - Tools - GraphStudio.

You should try anydvd. It is "must have" to play DVD's.

AnyDVD isn't required by GB-PVR to play DVDs. The 300 DVD I'm trying plays fine with KMPlayer and Windows Media Player.

I didn't have a Tools menu in the SAF menu. This is what I have:

You need to install at last SAF4.0beta18

beta 18 is newer than rc1? betas are always older than rc (release candidate), and alphas are older than betas.

Yep, take "beta" like SVN.

Installed beta 18, configured per the directions at http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=40821, and DVD playback still hangs after a few seconds.
