Online - Youtube Problems

[wayne5w]

I am on 7 RC1. I have been having problems with online videos such as those from Youtube throughout the 7 beta releases with the SageTV Client.

When using SageTV Player I get video but no audio. When using DirectShow I get Video and Audio for 3 seconds and then it freezes. Interestingly if I change from full screen it will play again for 3 seconds. And then again if I go full screen again.

I don't have any playback issues with anything else. I can play .avi, .mkv, .mpg, .m2ts, mp4 and my HD5000 tuners work great.

Everything else is rock solid.

Does anyone have any ideas on things I can try to get online video working?

Regards,

I'm using the latest v7.1.9 and getting the same when watching trailers via Ortus plugin.

If the trailer downloads, the DirectShow codecs work perfectly.

Whilst downloading,
- if "Media Player for non-MPEG file" is set to "Always use DirectShow" sound and audio perfect for only a few moments before freeze.
- if "Media Player for non-MPEG file" is set to "SageTV player for online videos" I don't get the freeze, but I get video only, no sound.

I had this working perfectly under Windows XP using DirectShow, but not since moving to Win7.

Any solution??

Edit:
- Same thing happens in YouTube and Channels.
- I have tried to keep the install clean re: codecs and therefore only installed Shark007's codecs.

*head down in shame*

I didn't realise that TV volume setting is different to that of Online volume in SageTV.

Using Diamond7 and I had the volume sliders hidden. When I showed the slider, I could see the different volume setting between when watching live or recorded TV, and that for Online Videos.

Now, off trying to get DirectShow to work for Online content to take advantage of DXVA.
