No video!

[Pmavrovic]

I have SageTV / Placeshifter and the Media extender.
I have already resistered both in the server, but I am having issues with Video playback.
It does not matter if I am playing back recorded video or live TV.

I can hear the sound in stereo, however I do not get ANY video playback no matter what I do.

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the Placeshifter client, but I ahve had not luck.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks in advance.

Placeshifter plays videos using Overlay -- is anything else currently running on the system & using the overlay? If so, only one app can use it at a time.

Also, you might want to try updating the video card driver or check its settings to see if any settings exist for the driver that prevents overlay from working.

Thanks for the info.

I am trying to use placeshifter on my DELL XPSm1710 running beta Nvidia drivers from laptopvideo2go.com

I am running the 91.31 drivers.
They work great for everything else, but maybe they are messing up the playback.

I will have to try placeshifter on another PC.

I have tested Placeshifter on another PC with a Nvidia 6800 ultrago board in it and it works.

I am trying to figgure out what I need to do with the overly settings to make it work on my laptop that has a 7900 GTX GO GPU in it.

I have compared the drivers and have set the settings identical.

I simply cannot get the video to come through on the newer laptop.
SIGH :

Any insights?

Thanks in advance.
