New Build Same Video Card: 0x80040217

[rerooks]

I just put together a new build and reused my Radeon R9-280X video card. I am using Windows 10 Pro x64. My previous build had the same, but of course with a different motherboard, CPU and RAM.

The previous MB ran Sage Client just fine. I am using the open source version.

I am having the error: sage.PlaybackException: ERROR (-4,0x80040217): There was a problem rendering the video portion of the content for playback.

I tried the latest drivers, and I even went back to the drivers from my old machine...(6/2015). It doesn't make a difference.

I went into detailed settings, and only one codec appears for MPEG 2, and that is the Microsoft DTV-DVD, so I have that selected. The video is MPEG-2 off the HD Homerun. I also have tried different H264 codecs, the Microsoft one, and the ffmpeg one. I have tried Overlay, DX9 and EVR Renderer.

I even tried to see if things would help by installing the trial version of WinDVD, but no difference, and didn't even see a new codec.

Any thoughts?

I'm having similar issues my system became less robust after Comcast started broadcasting in H.264 over the last month or so. It would be TOTALLY AWESOME if there was a write up on what codecs to install and how to configure SageTV for solid PC based playback. I never really felt this was perfect but Setup#1 was working 99.5% before the Comcast shift...media is OTA via HDHomerun, Comcast cable via HDHomerun Prime and Bluray ripped to .mkv container.

I'm running the server/SageTV 7 on a Windows Server 2008R2.

Setup #1 (causes random video play back to "freeze" audio continues)
Video Renderer - EVR
MPEG2 Video Decoder Filter - ArcSoft Video Decoder
H.264 Video Decoder Filter - ArcSoft Video Decoder
VC-1 Video Decoder Filter - ArcSoft Video Decoder
DScaler Deinterlacing Filter - Disabled
Audio Renderer - Default
MPEG2 Audio Decoder Filter - SageTV MPEG Audio D...
HD Audio Decoder Filter - Default

Setup #2 (causes random DirectX video crashes requiring SageTV to be closed and restarted to resume play back
Video Renderer - EVR
MPEG2 Video Decoder Filter - Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder
H.264 Video Decoder Filter - Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder
VC-1 Video Decoder Filter - ArcSoft Video Decoder
DScaler Deinterlacing Filter - Disabled
Audio Renderer - Default
MPEG2 Audio Decoder Filter - SageTV MPEG Audio D...
HD Audio Decoder Filter - Default

I have read quite a few threads that discuss this, but nothing really definitive, so I agree. Not sure how to get codecs and what ones are legit.

I have attached my debug log.

I have Windows 10 and Comcast has also changed over some channels to H264... EVR . I have MPeg2 Lav Video Decoder. Hardware decoding Intel Quicksync ...Lav Filter H264 .. I uncheck H.264 .. Hardware decoding. Audio all Default.

So...maybe this should be moved over to the open source area. I "fixed" the problem.

In one of my directories, I found files from when I installed before:
Sage v7 Client Install
File with rebuilt executables, found in this sticky
The file lucene-core-3.6.0 to be placed in the JAR subdirectory
The file sage.jar to be put into the sage directory

Once I did this, after nuking my old install, it worked just fine.

The version that does not work is found in the latest OS version, where I downloaded and installed "SageTVClientSetup_9.0.4.224_beta0.003.exe". Am I the only one to have this problem?

I had the same issue on a new build. What I ended up doing was installing v7 and then installing the latest v9 without uninstalling v7 and it is working fine now. So you are not alone in this issue.
