[QUOTE="elliottmc, post: 19989, member: 14268"] I fully appreciate that these are not official releases. From my point of view, version 0.1.3.0 had major performance issues in myTV. Only updates since this release are the CVS snapshots, so that this is the only place to look for fixes. Presumably since MP is a team effort, the developers must have some way of keeping track of what changes have been made, and for what purpose. I have looked at this several times. For some of the fixes, there is a comment in the Log Message, but generally not. As there is no way I am going to understand the code, this is not helpful to me as a user (but thanks for pointing it out). I am not posting issues with CVS snapshots on the forum. I merely posted a comment that things seem to have got much better in recent CVS builds. What would be great is a simple statement from the team stating "We are aware that myTV has performance issues, and we are working to fix these in version 0.2.0.0" or "myTV works fine on our machines. Please give us the following information so we can start looking for the problem" Smirnoff did make a comment a while ago that the myTV does seem to work fine on the development team's machines. It seems crazy to keep going round the houses on this one. Can I make a suggestion? If you have an issue with the performance of myTV, please do the following. Install a fresh copy of MediaPortal 0.1.3.0 (not the current CVS, so we are all working from the same base). 1. Reboot your machine. 1a. Make sure the renderer setting for myTV is set to Overlay. 2. Control-alt-delete to bring up the Windows Task Manager. 3. Start Media Portal and go straight to myTV. When the TV is playing, make a note of the average CPU usage. Run through these steps with the renderer set to VMR renderless. Run through these steps with timeshifting on and off to see if that makes a difference. Then do the same, and start recording. Note any difference in CPU usage. Keep this information very succinct, and email it, along with the following information about your system. Motherboard CPU TV Tuner Graphics card to I will try to collate this information and forward any useful trends to the developers. If anyone wants to try to reproduce the improvements which I have seen in the latest CVS, feel free to include this information. If enough people report that things are greatly improved, we can all stop moaning! Mark [/QUOTE]
