zkab Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Hi, I am new to DVBViewer and to this forum. Installed the Pro version 4.6.0.1 and launched it. First of all it says 'Completing Inittialization' for 30-40 seconds before the main window is presented. Channel search went OK but trying to watch 'BBC World News' (FTA channel) following error pops up: Cannot render Media file / Output Pin, error 0x80040218 No combination of filters could be found to render the stream. I have the system default everywhere. What is the problem ? I tested MediaPortal before and it could show channels without problems ... didn't like the software so I uninstalled it and went for DVBViewer. Attached is the support.zip file Quote
zkab Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 Sorry ... forgot the zip file support.zip Quote
Lars_MQ Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 just take a look into your systeminfo.txt file. You have no decoders at all installed. Install the software you got with your TT card, this will most likely install the decoders. then try the DVBViewer again. Quote
Griga Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Your SystemInfo.txt shows that there are no suitable decoders installed in your system. For a start, try this one http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/ and/or install the software bundled with your TT 3200. It should contain all necessary decoders. P.S. Lars was faster... Quote
Lars_MQ Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 A good audio decoder is the AC3Filter (see link in the DVBViewer program group). Quote
zkab Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 OK - I installed ffdshow-tryout but still no progress ... can't watch BBC World News. New zip file attached support.zip Quote
zkab Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 SOLVED - I tried SAF 5- SAF v5.00 *final* (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder) that I used in Mediaportal ... and it work OK Attached the new zip file ... to me it looks OK or should I change something in it ??? support.zip Quote
Griga Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I installed ffdshow-tryout but still no progress On installation you have to enable decoding for the relevant video/audio types (MPEG2, H.264, AC3, MP2), or after installation via start menu -> ffdshow -> video/audio decoder configuration -> codecs.

zkab Posted April 13, 2011 Author Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks - is ffdshow-tryout the one you recommend or are there others to prefer ? Quote
Griga Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I would additionally try the (commercial) decoders that are included in the TT 3200 software. Find out which one gives the best results on your PC by using Settings -> Options -> DirectX in DVBViewer for decoder selection. Quote
zkab Posted April 14, 2011 Author Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) The CD that came with the card is ... gone by the wind ... I will check with TT support which decoders they recommend. A general question, are not the decoders from commercial software companies specializing in codecs to prefer ? One thing I noticed when watching TV channels (MPEG2 stream) is that with fast movement (sport channels) there seem to be a shadow draging along with the movement. Is that a codecs problem ? It can not be a performance problem since Task Manager shows 5-6 % CPU usage ... support.zip Edited April 14, 2011 by zkab Quote
Gioxy Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 One thing I noticed when watching TV channels... ...depends on Interlaced video video transmissions; every good decoder codec have some "deintelacing" tecnique to smooth video, perhaps in your case simply isn't enabled yet... Quote
