Does the proxy work with Windows autostart, or do I have to create a Task via windows task scheduler?

In the latest MP version the MPx86Proxy should start automatically (if not running already) when needed. Tested by myself.

500 ms did the trick; no more lag when I stop the movie, no more freeze on exit.

Glad to hear that.
Thanks for the logs and assistance. I'll try figure out the problem.

It works down to 400ms, with 350ms I get lags when stoping movies and crashes on exit. But 400ms seem good at the moment.

Edit: A Task via task scheduler with admin rights and a start delay of 30 seconds works perfect!

Thank you @Pablik for your effort and your help!

Forgot to mention that you can use argument -h to start MPx86Proxy hidden.

Hmm, the problem is present in x86 version too if the update is too fast. In my case I got lagging with 100ms in x86 version.
So it looks like the x64 version needs(sometimes) slightly larger time value settings.
I'm affraid there is nothing I can do. This must be an iMon driver problem.

Hi @joker1639,
I made an update in MPx86Proxy by using small delay when sending pixel data to the iMon driver. With this version I can go down to 150ms in both x86 and x64 version.
The updated version is in my post here [WiP] - 5154: MediaPortal 1 - x64 - SharpDX

@Pablik did you ever try to make the proxy work with the imon 7_77_1022_01?

I used this version for years now. And now I know why: 8_12_1202 made problems on my system years ago. So I rolled back to 7_77 which worked flawless for me.

Maybe this is worth a try, maybe 7_77 is more stable.

With the 400ms I was able to provoke a crash listening to music using the graphic equalizer. With the limit of refreshs to 10 it worked without crash @400ms.

Well, actually there is no resctriction to specific version. What matters is path to this library:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SoundGraph\iMON\SG_VFDU.dll

I don't have the 7_77_1022_01 version so you can give it a try.

If you also want to try 7_77

What's interesting in 7_77 x64 drivers are included

Well, it's working, but you have to make a copy(don't delete original) of SG_VFD.dll and rename it to SG_VFDU.dll in soundgraph application folder.
