Auto3D plugin for MediaPortal 1.2 - 1.12 (GUI & TV/Beamer) (9 Viewers)

Hi Marcus

Did you take a look into DiVine api for support for the 2010 Philips series?

 

[BertTRP]

No idea what's happening on your PC. Could you attach the MediaPortal.log to your post? I will look into it.

Hi Marcus,

Please find in attachement the mediaportal.log file.

I also received the arror in the picture attached after having re-installed the plugin (after the wizard reported that the installation was succesfully completed and i pressed on "finish" to close the dialog).

I hope you can understand what's wrong from the info contained herein.

Thank you again for you time and great job done for this plugin!

@blackmack: At least I was able to compile some DiVine sample code from the Philips jointSpace demos and started looking into it. Will take some time, because I want to finish the next release. There are still bugs to fix. But it's on my (long) list of things ToDo

@BertTRP: In the logfile I see the following:

2013-03-25 23:58:45.860000 [Info.][(36)]: planescene-resentImage() frame:57 enabled:True allowed:False
2013-03-25 23:59:21.235000 [Info.][(13)]: IRTrans: Command Start --------------------------------------------

There is a gap of 36 seconds between these 2 logs. The PresentImage Function is a callback for the VMR9 Renderer and is directly called by the renderer.
The first log tells us, that
_drawVideoAllowed is is set to false and this is the reason why the functions imediatelly returns. No idea what happens then.

OK, as a first step replace the Core.dll by the original one, disable Auto3D plugin and tell me if after that everything works as before.

Dear Marcus,

Yes, when i replace your core.dll with the original one and disable the plugin, everything works fine again.

OK, logging does not provide the required information.

Give me a few days and I will come back with a version with a more detailed logging. Normally it would not take so long to do this, but I have replaced my configuration files with a XML based solution which I'm currently testing. As soon as this is ready, I will provide a version that will help to find the reason for your problem.

Hi Marcus,

Thank you very much for your excellent support on this!

I played with it a bit more, and wanted to share a few more details with you. Following your previous post, i tried to switch from EVR to VMR-9, but the results are exactely the same. So it does not seem to be related to the usage of the EVR Renderer.

Then i tried at the start of the movie to select different options, and all works fine if i select either "2D" or "3D->2D (via media portal)" options, while the problem of the frozen image (and still playing audio) occurs if i select "3D". I don't know if this might be of help to isolate the problem.

Thank you again.

Looking forward to the new versions so that we can look at the more detailed logging.

From you logfile I've seen, that you always do manual selection via GUI

What happens if you turn "Always show 3D selection..." to OFF
and then turn "If name contains only 3D" to ON (With switch to Side by Side selected).
Close the configuration and start the "Harry Potter" movie containing "3D" in it's name.

Does the freeze still happen in this case (without GUI selection)?

Yes, i had tried that as well... same identical behaviour: the image freezes while the audio keeps on playing.

I need help.
If i use this nice tool i have with my "SBS 3d 24Hz" movies many many dropped frames. It is not possible to look.
If i use the orig. core.dll and disable auto3d i dont have any issues.
I hope anyone can help.
I use for this test my client1 and i have try different codecs like powerdvd12 and 10 and 9 also LAVs last version.

 

[Marcus Venturi]

In you evr.log there are a lot of entries about dropped frames:

02-04-2013 11:15:30.097 [864]Dropping frame, nextSampleTime -53.98 ms, last sleep 12.81 ms, last pres -56.00 ms, paint 43.72 ms, queue count 4, SOP 503, EOP 557, LFr 6, RawFRRatio 1, dropped 2, drawn 355

Well the additional drawing for 3D movies takes more time than before, as every frame is drawn 3 times. First left / right half into the backbuffer and then from the backbuffer to the current surface. Looks like the additional drawing take a bit to much time which leads then to a drop of the frame.

For 24 fps you have ~ 41ms for every frame. On your system the painting take a bit longer than allowed and therefore the frame is dropped.

From the logs I see that you have an Intel HD Graphics 4000 in that PC.

- How much memory have you reserved in BIOS for the graphics?
- How fast is your main memory?
