| Portal Member | Has anyone else had problems with the LCD on the V2 just stopping working? I recently reinstalled MP because of some corruption and ever since I haven't been able to get the LCD to do anything. I have reinstalled iMON over and over and still no Frontview. And the Cyberdisplay plugin just errors our with a "Failed to locate assembly MSASSTATE..." when I try to launch it's configuration. Not sure if the two are related. |

Country: | Hi ArmandP, I've installed MP... Man.. it's not straightforward sometimes.. I was wondering what movie collection tool you use? and what are your experiences with it?

Country: | the EK 2008, I love it! I really hope they play to win against Romania tonight! (otherwise no fair chance for ITA and FR) You are watching the EK on your HTPC are you?? :-)

Country: | ArmandP: I have a similar setup for HD TV (FireDTV-C and Casema/Ziggo) - For me Ned1HD is a bit sluggish (fast moving things like the EK2008 are just not perfect ), could you tell me your exact settings for TV?- Do you know how I can check if Ned1HD is using DVXA? - How fast can you change channels? Also, If you are interested, I'd like to exchange info about HTPC's, FireDTV and Media Portal with you, since we both seem to have a quite good setup going... I started the Media Portal thread on Tweakers.net, and put together a pertty extencive guide in Dutch, perhaps you could help me update&improve it, also a nice addition for your own site. Really great post thanks alot!

But sometimes it's faster and sometimes it's slower. Quote:
it's a bug in MP that only occurs when DXVA is active.Quote:
- MP: NO post-postprocessing filters for TV (DXVA will get disabled otherwise) - MP: PowerDVD 8 Codec for both MPEG2 and h264 in TV (see codec settings in FP) - MP: NO deinterlacing (let PowerDVD handle this) - POWERDVD: Hardware Acceleration is active (PDVD8 does not have DirectX filter options in MediaPortal) I'm not happy with the hardware accelerated deinterlacing on the ATI HD3200 - probably the ati driver because earlier driver versions looked better. Still hoping that a HT 3.0 capable cpu will improve this or the driver gets a good fix. Jaggies/Combing are very noticeable when watching SD channels so you're better of not enabling hardware acceleration for interlaced MPEG2. Deinterlacing HD channels (H264) works fine but could be better also. Luckily for me ned1 broadcasts a progressive hd signal so no deinterlacing is needed there. -
