Plases update the Sage.properties.defaults by add the following to it

videoframe/audio_decoder_filter=Default
videoframe/video_decoder_filter=Default
videoframe/dvd_video_render_filter=EVR
videoframe/video_render_filter=EVR

This over ride the stock SageTV MPEG Video and Audio Decoder and change Overlay to (EVR) Enhanced Video Renderer

Are you wanting this for just the 64 bit release or all future versions?

As well, for those of us that dont understand all this decoder stuff... can you explain the end result of this change?

This cover all 32/64 and Server/Client that in \install\config\ you could even do the Sage.properties.defaults.whs but I highly doubt any one is still using it

If you ever install a new copy SageTV new from the ground up you know you end up video error in the wizard and when trying to play channel after the install because it set to old decoder that got remove.
As long as the LAV filter are install before SageTV then everything should work like it supposed to in wizard and play out box in the TV guide area.

The "old decoder" is the MainConcept commercial one that is only in V7 and only 32-bit. In other words the change would be fine for all but those who install 32-bit over V7 and want those "old" defaults. I would imagine that's a shrinking group of people. Also, they could go back and re-select them if they wanted.

Yup and new people get turn off by those error and some have even ask about it, some just uninstall it and move on to some else I know had a few people tell me this that why I like to get this address.

If nobody else objects, I can add those before submitting the 64-bit pull request.

I vote to do it. I didn't realize this was still how we had things configured.

[jusjoken]

Agreed. And on a similar note...how do we get LAV filters into the short list...is that a code change and if so where?

Jeff had me fix this a smarter way. By including the decoder filter settings in the properties defaults with them set equal to nothing, it triggers autodetect code that hadn't been in use for some time. That code will check for the SageTV decoders, then the LAV decorders, then various others before leaving it at "Default" if none are found.

I believe the EVR issue for TV was actually a bug that prevented Win10 from being detected as "Vista-like". My Win7 box already picked EVR by default. The DVD EVR choice is now also fixed in the java where it picks EVR for VISTA (and higher) Windows but Overlay for XP.
