I have a Windows 2000 system which runs gbPVR 1.4.7 just fine.
I decided to try nPVR, but have been having problems getting it working.
I currently have the v2.0.3 with the PatchR1 updates.
I think the main problem is that DirectX is not detected by nPVR.
The Settings dialog displays the warning that software rendering is active.
I have installed the latest version of DirectX 9 that is supported on Win2k.
I can not use the web installer linked from the wiki as it doesn't support win2k.
Here is the release I have installed: DirectX End-user Runtime (Feb 2010)
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/det...px?id=9033
This installs version 9.28.1886 of the runtime libs.
My logs are attached, but I didn't see the Java exception that appears
when I try to watch LiveTV. It seems to crash in DShow.
Also, when I try to watch a recording imported from gbPVR, I get video
but no audio, even though I have tried all of the audio Decoder options.
If Win2k is just too old for nPVR, I can understand, but I did see it listed as
supported, so I thought I'd try my luck.
thanks for any advice.
