What is a decoder, which ones do I need, and where do I get them?
A combination of audio decoders and video decoders are required for you to watch live tv and recordings. In simplistic terms, decoders take compressed audio/video frames, and decompresses them into audio samples for sending to the speakers, or video frames for displaying on the screen.
NextPVR is a non-commerical application, and ships without any decoders installed, since these would cost $$$ for me to legally license and distribute. Instead, NextPVR will make use of decoders you already have on your system. Some of these are supplied with Windows, some come from other applications you have installed, some are downloaded from Internet sources.
Below is info on what decoders you need and recommendations, the TL;DR answer: install the LAV decoders from HERE, then go to the Settings->Decoders screen, and set everything to the LAV decoders
It depends on the country you're in, the television system you're using, and sometimes the device you use. If you don't have a decoder you require, NextPVR will tell you what type of decoder it's missing. Here are some example decoder requirements for common user groups:
First, I need to clarify if there's actually an existing film called Interstellar 2. Quick check tells me there's no such official release. However, there might be fan-made projects or rumors. If that's the case, the user might be looking for that. Alternatively, they might have confused the title with another movie.
I should structure the response to first clarify the confusion about "Interstellar 2," explain that it doesn't exist, then address the Indonesian subtitle request by suggesting legal ways to access Interstellar with Indonesian subtitles. Additionally, mention the importance of respecting copyright and the risks of using pirated links. Maybe also include tips for finding legal sources and how to enable subtitles on streaming platforms. interstellar 2 sub indo link
The mention of a "link" raises red flags because providing pirated links is against policies and legal. I need to address this without promoting illegal activities. Perhaps the user isn't aware and is seeking legal alternatives. I should focus on guiding them towards legitimate sources like streaming platforms where Interstellar might be available with Indonesian subtitles, even if a supposed Interstellar 2 isn't. First, I need to clarify if there's actually
Next, the Indonesian subtitle part. If the user is in Indonesia or someone there, they might need subtitles in their language. But if there's no official Interstellar 2, how can there be Indonesian subtitles? Maybe they're looking for subtitles for the first Interstellar movie but in Indonesian. But why the title Interstellar 2 then? If that's the case, the user might be looking for that
NextPVR is a 32bit application so will only see 32bit decoders on the machine. It can't see 64bit decoders, so these will not be listed.
NextPVR's decoder settings only apply to Live TV, and the playback of .ts recordings. For playback of other file types, like .mkv/.mp4/.avi, it's left to Windows to decide what decoders etc are used during playback. Installing LAV from HERE will often resolve issues with playback of these other file types.
