[0.1.3.0] - Volume OSD causes TV video to freeze momentarily (1 Viewer)

[Taipan]

Has anyone tried this with today's CVS builds?

I have been trying new CVS builds every couple of days (the most recent I tried was 08/08 ), but I have not noticed any change to the Volume OSD.

Is it supposed to be fixed in the CVS builds?

confirmed with cvs 08.08.05
I use catalyst 5.7 on Ati 9600xt and I don´t think the problem is related to graphiccard.

Same here, with CVS from 12th aug at 00:55

I have just tried the 08-12-2005--00-12 CVS, and the problem persists...

Can I assume that because there has been no comment from the developers and that this bug has not been entered into Mantis, that the developers cannot reproduce the problem?

I have the same problem here. So I'm not using this feature at this moment.

Same problem ,it seems at the moment that we change the volume there is a lower video and audio dataflow,I think that the osd takes a higher priority as the audio/video dataflow

Hi Guys -

Could you confirm that this only happens while watching TV and not when viewing a movie or DVD?

Also, each of you who have posted in this thread are using ATI cards?

Hi,

I'm using a Nvidia Fx5200, and I've got this freeze in TV, movies and DVDs but I'd say it's more pronounced in TV.
Using Intervideo non CSS codecs for TV and Cyberlink for DVD.

Regards

Hi! This happens for me, too, in both (fullscreen) TV and DVD. Frame freezes, sound cuts in and out, while changing the volume (displaying the OSD). Almost like the CPU is being maxed out or something. Maybe (programmatically) the OSD could be displayed BEFORE issuing the volume change?

FYI: In Setup>General>Volume Settings, I have Windows default and Master Volume checked.

It happens for TV, DVD and movies/videos.

Also, each of you who have posted in this thread are using ATI cards?

Looking back through the posts in this thread, it does not appear to be only ATI cards - there are some users with nVidia cards reporting the same problem.

I gather that you have not been able to reproduce this problem?
