Hey there. Thinking about dabbling in some 3D. What would I need to add to MP to be able to play SBS 3D? (apart from glasses) My system is below my name. Cheers

I have a Panasonic 55" plasma connected via hdmi-dvi and a BenQ W1070 connected via hdmi. The displays are recognized by windows and are mirrored. Whichever display is connected as secondary monitor (windows automatically treats hdmi as primary and dvi as secondary in mirrored mode) there is...

Perhaps a setting to pause the video until "handshake" is complete? Is that possible to detect??

Thanks for the info but, shit scared I'm gonna "brick" it. (it's a BenQ issue as the TV switches quick as) Cheers Ventry P.s Just found out that updating firmware voids warranty. Strange????

Thanks for the info. Will check firmware revision next time I have it on. Looks as though I'll just have to "suck it up". Cheers Ventry P.s GAH!! It's 1.05

I have just got a W1070 and run it via HDMI from my HTPC which runs MediaPortal. MediaPortal has a "dynamic refresh rate" setting which changes the video frequency on the fly so that you get smooth video playback across many different file formats. The issue is that when the W1070 changes...

Well, after some extensive testing there is no excessive frame drops for me under Windows 8. For me it's basically the same as windows 7. A small amount of dropped frames when the video first starts (1-12 depending on resolution) then it's rock solid from then on. Is there any way to get...

Thanks for the info. Well I've tried multiple video formats and not noticed excessive frame drop. (will test more extensively) As I don't use Blu-Ray that is not a problem for me. Love the practically instant wake-up from sleep. :D

Still getting "platform not supported" messages on fresh install of Windows 8 Pro. I thought RC was supposed to support?

I just use "over the air" EPG. Perfectly functional. What else could you want? The cricket finished early the other day and in 10 mins the EPG had updated with replacement programming.

Use Hauppauge USB remote here with no problems. No notable lag.

Thank for the help. I will have a look at the things you suggest. However I will point out that the section of the logs you have posted has the time stamp "18:41:33" which is 6:41 PM. The HTPC was in use at that time watching TV and I believe that TV Series was updating the database at that time...

Ok here are tonight's logs. I finished watching TV and went back to the home screen. It should go to sleep after 5 MINS. It has been over 45 MINS and no sleep. Interesting is that when I exited MP to collect logs it went to sleep half-way through that process. (about 1 Min after MP exit) This...

Sorry but, that one I manually put it to sleep and woke it up with my Hauppauge USB remote. The problem was before that. I had been trying to find the problem. It has been set for sleep after 5 mins of inactivity on the Home screen only. I had it on said Home screen and watched it for about 30...

Well... Out of the blue my HTPC will no longer sleep. Has been doing so previous to this. Hope someone with knowledge will have a look-see at the logs and give me some direction to solve this issue. Cheers Ventry
