Hello,

hope this hasn't been posted before, at least I didn't find it.

When playing H.264 files in MediaPortal, audio is stuttering.

Now, if the graph is opened in Graphedit, and the graph is played, there is audio without stuttering but no video at all.

It seems like the same graph behaves like this.

- In MediaPortal, video is fine and audio is stuttering
- In Graphedit, video is not shown and audio is fine.

Just for completeness: In WMP video is fine and audio is fine.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Cheers

rename the file extension to something else (mp4,mkv or other)

go to MediaPortal Configuration -> Movies
set audio codec to MPA

try again.

Hi mrkrad, hi infinityloop,

thanks for your input, I will check both options when I get home.

Cheers,

Hi mrkrad, hi infinityloop,

both did not work.

Renaming the files does not change anything.

Setting MPA also doesn't help. In the graph, MPA Decoder Filter now appears but is it not connected to anything.

Should I try deregistering the WMAudio Decoder DMO?

Cheers
