Crashing on start-up.

[Kevin Steggles]

Hello,

 

I've recently downloaded v4.0, and ever since, when I run DVBViewer, it opens up ok and goes to the main screen, but then locks up and I have to ctrl-alt-delete to get rid of it.

 

Strangely, when I tried it out over remote desktop from home last night, it appeared to work fine!

 

I'm using a Freecom DVB-T USB stick using driver version 2.0.1.8

 

ConroeXFire-eSATA2 Motherbard with Intel i945G/GZ chipset Rev A2

 

Radeon X1950 Pro graphics card using driver version 8.591.0.0

Update - I now get sound, but no picture on starting up. I can't access any menu items, and after about 30 seconds, it completely crashes.

try start -> programs -> DVBViewer program group -> support -> DVBViewer (Safemode)

This starts the Viewer without tuning a channel.

Now go to options -> directx and try another video decoder and/or renderer.

That seems to have worked - a useful tip there, thank you.

 

I've switched the MPEG2 video decoder to Arcsoft MPEG and the renderer to VMR7.

 

It now works from normal start-up.

 

Thanks!
