Media Center LiveTV not working now?

This is strange because the first time I installed the beta, LiveTV worked like a charm.

This time around however, I cant get any picture and can only hear 'nasty clicking static'. The channels themselves have tuned in fine, but when I go to watch LiveTV - nothing?

I've installed the Vista Codec Package like last time, but still no dice.

I'm seriously thinking of changing my user name from smarteyeball to Beta-breaker

lol. Thank you:)

I just rolled backed the drivers which has problems of its own. When it unloads the Nvidia driver, the monitor goes into power save and bloody stays that way Now I've updated the drivers in safe mode using the update drivers feature and now I've bloody lost aero

I am a beta-breaker


EDIT: Changing drivers didn't do a thing i could understand it never working, but it worked before.... *sigh* So many issues, so little patience

BTW, got Aero back :)

Could someone running the beta please do me a favour and have a look at their registry and tell me what CLSID is in the data field for the :

PreferredMPEG2AudioDecoderCLSID and
PreferredMPEG2VideoDecoderCLSID

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Decoder


It's a decoder issue and of course I've had a fiddle and made it worse I need to reset to the default codecs.

Thanks for that mate. Much appreciated :)

Unfortunately it didn't work as I'd hoped I'm now getting a video file error which is bs because the file is there and the reg is pointing to it. Even SFC tells me there is nothing wrong with it.





I know they're not bloody working. I can see that. The question is why???

What's irritating is that I haven't done anything different to when I first installed the beta when it worked

I think I may have to resort to swearing at it. That usually works

EDIT:

I uninstalled the Codec Package and now I get this:



Seriously....

AH HA! I FIXED IT! IN YOUR FACE MEDIA CENTER!

I finally found that in the ffdshow video decoder configuration that the mpeg2 setting was disabled and needed to be set to libmpeg2

It took me ALL BLOODY day to spot that

I can go to bed happy now

Now I can wake up and 'fiddle' with something else :)

I'm still perplexed how the decoder was disabled in first place though I know I didn't touch it.

Just to reiterate: IN YOUR FACE MEDIA CENTER!!! lol
