[no Bug] Sound but no picture in tv server setup tv channel preview (2 Viewers)

[Owlsroost]

Unfortunately I cannot change the merits in Filmerit. I get this error:
"Impossible to change the merit"
I'm not in read-only mode when doing this.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Try using 'Run as administrator' when starting Filmerit.

AW: Sound but no picture in tv server setup tv channel preview

I've got the same problem - especially when I come out of Standby mode or restart Mediaportal and a channel tune takes a litte bit longer. I use Fortherecord, but the problem is just the same. Channel is selected-tuned-but after some time the sound can be heard, but no picture. Stopping and restarting the stream cures the problem. Is in about 1/10 cases. Quite odd problem, but I don't know how to get this solved.

Did anyone install SAF tools? They seem to change the default renderer so the graph that gets build is not what setuptv.exe expects.

This is not codec issue, it is renderer issue.
Installing SAF tools will trigger this problem in MePo.
Just reinstall SAF6 and disable tools in setup - then restart your machine.

The problem is that MePo prev. window doesnot work with VMR9/EVR renderer - i think it is hardcoded to show "video renderer".

I think this is possible week point of Mepo.
There are two possible solutions to prevent this i think.

1)MePo should add "video renderer" to graph, then create it
2)MePo should create graph, then look for used video renderer and use this renderer for preview.

I think the second one is better, becouse it will alow to have HW decoding in preview, which is not possible right now.

Thank you hoborg for this workaround.
I think I missed that message, but the issue still exists and your workaround really helped me when identifying channels from TV Server Configuration.
