MP1 MP2 PCM Stereo only? DE
Just been thru this. Most amps cant decode 5.1 pcm (aac) so will output only 2 channel. I am using LAV. Had to untick acc in the LAV audio. Installed ffdshow for audio and enabled only aac. Now set ffdshow to covert aac to ac3. Go into MP Config and set aac to use ffdshow. Now aac will be sent thru to your amp as 5.1 ac3 which it can...

SUCCESS! Thank you so much! Switching to LAV for the video decoders did the trick. I am now smoothly running at ~24frames for all the videos I tried. As a rule, is this the decoder configuration I should have been using from the start? I was initially setting up using this guide on the wiki, and it instructed to use the MS ones for...

MP1 MP2 LAV filter setup help (1 Viewer) DE
LOL, thanks for helping an almost blind user. "LAV Video Decoder" and "LAV Audio Decoder" looked very similar together, and the tab was called "Video Codecs" only which helped making them even more similar.

TMT 5.x. 1. Ensure you are opening uMCEPlayer5.exe from MediaPortal and not uTotalMediaTheatre5.exe 2. When you click 'Stop' on your MCE remote then uMCEPlayer should close automatically and take you back to MediaPortal. If not then try clicking 'Back' on the remote. The above works fine for me with MP 1.2.3, Streamed MP and TMT 5.3...

I have been using MP for well over 5 years. Only recently after I got the Unlock for SAF have I experienced a truly stable system. No more Codec issues. God knows how many weekend I spent tinkering with the settings. Well worth a message to Hoborg. :)

MP1 MP2 LAV/DXVA2 DE
Hello I am using LAV with DXVA2 native via a SAF 6.1.0 installation, on my AMD E350 client. When i play a video, the section in the lav settings that says 'Active Decoder' always says <inactive>. I guess i would have expected this to change when playing a video. Processor is around 30-35% on a full bluray mkv rip, and goes to 100%...

Hi guys, I get this error msg sometimes simply by playing recorded videos and restarting the client solves it. Because I had different other issues as well, I did a clean install of v1.2.3 - after having uninstalled server & client completely + LAV filters. Now I'm running MP almost with default settings and no plugins because I...

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/tvlibrary-tvexception-unable-to-add-unable-to-connect-audio-compressor-muxer.107440/#post-860924 there are some links to trials. And you can find ATI AVIVO DirectShow encoder version in Google (be aware that new ATI Media encoders are for Media Foundation and do not supported by MP) :)

This can be set in MP Config: go to the Audio Settings tab of the TV Client and activate "Prefer AC3-Sound" However, this setting also forces AC3 when better sound is available. For example DVD's will also play as AC3 instead of DTS and you will nedd to activate the latter manually. Regards, HTPC_Sourcer

Try going into MP config\music\music extensions and try removing .mp4, does this change things. After that really think the MX4 is way underpowered both graphically and in its memory to create a gui and play a h.264 file, even if it is SD. Sorry

The recent versions of LAV video decoder support DXVA, so that's another alternative to FFDShow DXVA. If you press shift+1 (!) on the keyboard when video is playing it will display the render stats screen - it can't tell you if DXVA is in use, but it does list the codecs in use so you can check if they are what you expect....
