paddym Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Newly downloaded and installed DVBV 5.1.0 under Windows 8.1, as better alternative to TotalMedia supplied with ClimaxDigital USB dongle. During installation software advised me to update DirectX, which I did and took 30 minutes. Goggling afterwards Windows 8.1 comes installed with most recent DirectX, which can only be installed via update. Able to find terrestrial (terrestric) channels, but only audio plays, no video, error message "Cannot render Mediafile/Output Pin, error 0x80040218 No combination of filters could be found to render the stream". Still able to play live TV through TotalMedia. Have tried to change filters through Settings/Options, but all listed are Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder. If I click on the ellipses button (...) I see "This Codec does not have a property page". I'm worrried about making too many changes, all advice welcome...support.zip The program looks great, PayPal at the ready, but I want more than a soundtrack! Thanks in anticipation of your help.

Eyerex Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I could be wrong but it may be down to not having a Media Splitter like Haali http://haali.su/mkv/ Or you could try LAV Filters with DVBViewer which i always use which comes with filters for video and audio plus a splitter look for Version 0.63: Installer (both x86/x64) on this post on Doom9 http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=156191 Quote Link to comment
Tjod Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 haali is mostly not necessary (for live TV never) But a codec e.g. LAV Filters is the right solution. Quote Link to comment

Tjod Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 options > DirectX and select LAV as audio and Video codec. Quote Link to comment
paddym Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Error message 0x8070005 was because I wasn't running as adminstrator. Have now done that with all three batch install files, success message about DLLRegisterServer for each. Settings > Options > DirectX only offers me Microsoft DTV-DVD Decoder or System Default against MPEG2, H264 and VC1. No LAV option anywhere on audio or video. The ellipses button against each shows "Codec does not have a property page". Still no video,only audio, Quote Link to comment
paddym Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Problem solved: I downloaded and installed FFDshow decoders: although my decoders are still set to Microsoft DTV-DVD I now get TV video! But thanks for your advice and help, I couldn't have solved this without your input. Now for PayPal... Paddy in Wales Quote Link to comment
