[QUOTE="ixian, post: 387504, member: 54932"] Ok, I think I've finally caught up and gotten things working to the point where I'm having the same problem as the rest of you now :) More on that in a second, but first - Codec setup. For weeks now I've never been able to view live or recorded TV in MP at all with my HDPVR. It was maddening, because I had confirmed that the TV Server was working - manual timeshifting/recording/tuning worked, at least, but I would never see it on the client (either single-seat or remote). I finally set up my laptop as a MP center/TV client using the latest SVN (actually, forum member Disaster's custom build based off it), and I was able to get audio and very garbled video. After cleaning out all the existing codecs on the laptop, installing and configuring the SAF codec pack recommended here on the MP forums, and finally disabling EVR and using VMR9/exclusive mode (I am using Vista64 on the laptop) I got full video and sound! The quality isn't that great however, and it stutters, ever so slightly. Can any of you offer any tips on your client codecs/plugin setup? I tried it using both MPC and CoreAVC 1.9 and neither was significantly better than the other - they work, but quality is so-so. I think it might be related to the fact I'm not using EVR - when that is enabled in Directshow properties I get no video/audio at all and the client either locks up or times out and loses connection to the TV Server. This is on a Core2Duo 2.13 laptop, 4gb memory, Nvidia 9400m/latest WHQL drivers, Vista x64, and the March 1st Disaster SVN build based off the 2/25/09 SVN. Are any of you using EVR/have good quality video/audio, and how did you get it to work? Can someone share their working codec settings/setup with me? Also, I'm guessing that now that I can actually see video the lengthy channel changing I'm also seeing is the very problem Garry and Wile now have been trying to solve for some time? It takes me about 13-14 seconds from the time I select a channel to the time it actually comes up. Using my living room tv, which is directly connected to my dishnetwork box, I was able to watch the process while my Mediaportal box changed channels. On the Dish side, I can see the blaster (I am using the Hauppauge one in the HDPVR for now) change the channel, and it's reasonable fast - about 3-4 seconds, which I know I can tweak down using the Hauppauge blaster config (it's using default settings). The point is, on the Dish box it takes about 3-4 seconds for the channel to change and video/audio to start, then there's another 10 or so second lag before MediaPortal catches up. This is the same problem you all are working on, correct? If so, it's still there - I'm using the TVLibrary.dll & DirectShowLib.dll Wile just provided, above, and it still happens. Thanks for any help and thanks for all the work on this so far!! [/QUOTE]
