Hi. Im not quite ready to write an extensive bug-report, but I thought I`d describe my problems to see of others have similar probs.
Tested MP versions: 0.2.0.0 RC1 and perhaps 50% of the later CVS-es.
I have combo of DVB-T and analog cable tv. Connected to a 50Hz PAL CRT tv. Windows XP pro sp2 with all bugfixes and hotfixes. Latest drivers all over.
Main problem:
*A horisontal "line" that slowly scans through my tv picture. It almost seems as if vsync was switched off. Especially on fast horisontal pans, a disturbed section consisting of a few lines is clearly (and frustratingly) visible. It seems to be there regardless of codec, renderer etc. Only affects My tv (DVB and analog), not my movies etc. Does not affect the tv playback software that accompanied my DVB card.
Other problems:
*My Tv works great for one or two channel "zaps", then it halts, and I cant change channel (or do anything) for a minute or two, then all my remote commands are exectuted all at once (ctr-alt-del shows that cpu-load is 10%). Seems to have improved with the CVSes the last couple of days.
*Error message ("no available cards to decode this channel"), even though no recording is done, so all cards should be free.
Funny thing is, it seems that there are less problems with my 60Hz lcd PC-display than using my 50Hz PAL CRT TV. That is using MediaPortal, using any other software, the performance on both is flawless :-(
