Problems playing in MediaPortal

JonasW · 2006-06-01, 12:44

Hi, I have just installed MediaPortal and it seems to be running fine. I have no problems in scanning for TV chanals - the picture is crystal clear down in the left corner. However when I go to the TV mode (or try playing DVD's) the picture is jumping and flickering. Using Hauppauge's own Win TV2000 application gives a perfect picture. What's the problem?. By the way, I use the Hauppauge PVR 150.

you should use the support template so that we could have a look at all you specs. the mediaportal.log could also provide some usefull information. Further it would be interesting to know what codec you are using.

anyway, first attemp to help:

have you tried to check/uncheck the "use exclusive DirectX mode" in general / MP configuration?

sounds weird that the problem only occurs in fullscreen
