Since Moving Pictures 0.7.0 I'm experiencing audio hickups while playing back any type of content in Mediaportal.
I already filed an issue about this, where further information can be found, but the forum is probably a more obvious place to find other users who could confirm this.
With a clean installation of Mediaportal 1.0.1 and Moving Pictures 0.7.2 (no skins, no other plugins) I get regular "crackling" sounds while playing back any type of content (MP3, FLAC audio, xvid, h.264, quicktime) be it music files or videos. The hickups even occur if the content is not actually played back with moving pictures. Playing MP3/FLAC files using the MP default "My Music" screens will have this effect as well.
Disabling Moving Pictures in the MP configuration will make the sound crackling/hickups disappear immediately.
As you can see in the issue tracker, I tried to track this back and the problem seems to start appearing in Moving Pictures 0.7.0 while 0.6.6 is performing fine.
I'm suspecting, that Moving Pictures is steadily performing operations in the background that are in some way interfering with Mediaportals engine, causing Mediaportal to stop with whatever it is doing for only very brief amounts of time but causing noticable playback issues. To make it clear, I do not think that Moving Pictures is having problems with codecs or playback or so. I think it's more on the system level, in some way that the Mediaportal thread gets locked by activities that moving pictures performs in the background.
With 0.7.2 and MP 1.0.1 the crackling occurs exactly every 5 seconds for me, so it's really obvious and noticable. Does anyone else notice something similar?
