Hello, installed the latest build yesterday. Everything is working okay with live SDTV - but not with h.264 live TV (SVT HD 1280x720), I can tune in to the channel but the upscaling /aspect ratio of the picture does not work. It seems like I only get to see half of the picture (720x576 instead of 1280x720). Earlier recorded h.264 .mpg streams plays fine - this only occurs with Live TV.

I downgraded MP to 0.2.2.0 + SVN 070609 (TV server still the same version) - and it started to work again. So I don't really know in which build this problem was introduced.

I'm sorry I can't provide any logs right now, I'm not at home right now. But if you need them I can provide logs tonight. I think I have seen this problem reported earlier - but I can't find the thread anymore.

Anyway - keep up the good work MP team!

No one else has this problem?
I haven't tried the latest build yet though. But I doubt that this is fixed - nothing in the change log indicate it anyway.

I would think that this problem is very "easy" since it has been working.
Hopefully, some dev has time to look into it.

I will try to fix debug logs tonight.

Here are debug logs:

Added debug logs above.

It seems like MP does not detect the correct size of the video stream:

When it's working it looks like this:

2007-06-20 23:11:31.247258 [Info.][MPMain]: VMR9Helper: repaint->playing 1
2007-06-20 23:11:31.294133 [Info.][15]: PlaneScene: crop T, B : 0, 0

2007-06-20 23:11:31.294133 [Info.][15]: PlaneScene: dst : (804,205)-(1668,692)

And why is it saying "repaint->playing 2" when it says "repaint->playing 1" when it is working?
I can also add that the sound is stuttering as well when the problem is present.

Hopefully someone can look into this.

Thanks
