Hello everybody,
I've read in the forum that if you want to record a ts without playback you have to select no graph or timeshith disable with not decode mpeg2.
I' m using Progdvb 5.15.8 pro and If I put no graph in h264 channels I see ffdshow that enter in use.
Then I don't find in timeshift the option disable no decode mpeg2 in any way I' d like to record a tsbecouse i'd like to record a h264 channel.
where to find these option?
Perhaps it worked with old version of progdvb?
And if so what to do now?

thank you Prog for the fast answer.
Well I' m not sure but I selected the white line under the various graphs.
and I 've left vrm 7 as video renderer.
I supposed That in this way there should be no graphs but in this way Progdvb use in any way ffdshow codec for h264 streaming.
In any way I' d like to record only the ts of a h264 channel becouse my CPU isn't so powerfull to manage both the playback and the recording.
How can I disable the live playback?

White field selections don't mean "none" but "system default".

So, use "ProgDVBNet.exe /NoGraph", as Prog told, from command line or batch file / link.

From "TimeShift Buffer Status" may even try "disable mpeg2 decoder for low CPU load".
But I simply don't know if this does anything to h.264 decoding.
Perhaps anyone else knows?


And, if not, perhaps Prog can add some "off" switches or codec dummies "none" to DirectShow controls, like one for MPEG2 and another for h.264?
May be good for some special Audio modes as well...

Thank you for the reply,
I' ve tried using the command line prompt and enter the ProgDvbNet.exe /NoGraph , but unfortunately also using an administrator account progDvb starts but gives error on start.
Perhaps would be superb having a choice box in option windows under directshow filter as told by Jurgen.
Prog I would be very gratefull if you will insert it in future. :D
But now what to do?

What error do you get, exactly?

Exactly I don't know what error.
But win starts the send error report procedure and I followed it.
Probably it is already arrived to Prog, I hope ;)

Sorry, but Windows never sends error reports to software authors.
Such reports go directly to Microsoft, USA. And then straight to the dust bin...

Ahh thank you Jurgen for the precisation.
In any way I' ve tried also the Progdvb 4.91.9 and the command /Nograph works with that version.
With ProgDvbNet 5.15.8 pro Progdvbnet starts but then end immediatly after the logo load.
It seems it doesn't recognize the command /Nograph
Perhaps Prog may know why. If you need any help just tell me what to do.
