I stopped LiveTV and went to settings - TV in MP to change the MPEG2 decoder. When I clicked on the button for MPEG2 Codec, MP completely locked up and I had to force close it.

MP was recording at the time, which perhaps had something to do with it although I don't really see why it should have.

No poblem I can see in logs, what codec were you trying to change too.

Check the bottom of your DX log to make sure it exists.

I was trying to change from Cyberlink to Nvidia. I know they're both installed as I can switch with the config program, although the Nvidia decoder's not been working properly (blank screen) since I tried the patched core.dll!

I don't tend to use the in-MP settings anyway, so not worth worrying about too much and it might have just been a one-off.

Just to clarify, I didn't actually get to see the list to choose what codec I wanted to change to. The lock up occured as soon as I clicked on the MPEG2 codec button.

As I said, it doesn't concern me too much as I don't tend to use the Settings, but why has this been tagged as No Bug?

 

[Paranoid Delusion]

Not by me.

Does sound a bit codec related though, is there any problem using config to select codecs and if you use graphedit, does it confirm the codecs you have selected are being used.

 

[doveman]

There's no problem using config to select codecs and graphstudio confirms that MP's using the right one.

I tried it again earlier and it didn't lock up, so I think it's unlikely to be codec related as they haven't changed.

MP's been doing some strange things after resuming from hibernate here though, so it might be related to that.
