@boxrun: Yeah, I searched the forum and found the references to v7.2 being the last MP-friendly version of Catalyst. I've downgraded my HTPC to 7.2, turned Windows Media Video Acceleration off in CCC (otherwise WMV videos won't play - weird colours and macroblocking) and everything seems to work fine now.
Had a few issues with MP connecting to TVServer but failing to connect to the database -- I solved this by copying 'gentle.config' from TVS3's folder (under Program Files) into MP's root folder, over the copy that was already there. MP made some comments in the log to the effect of said file being corrupt...
Now I just need to figure out how to get HD to behave itself - sometimes if I switch from BBC HD to something else on the satellite tuner, MP claims to have switched, but BBC HD is still being played back. |
