Auto3D plugin for MediaPortal 1.2 - 1.12 (GUI & TV/Beamer) (7 Viewers)

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?

I reserved 1024MB videomemory and i have 1600Mhz DDR3 Ram (2*4GB) (PC3-12800)

So 3D works perfect for me wih the orig. core.dll inside 1.3 Final.

As already mentioned I will provide a new version in a few days, that will also provide a more detailed logging. Maybe this helps to find the the reason for your dropped frames.

Update:

@dyamant

As the next release is delayed as I'm still waiting on results of other tests I decided to provide a modified core (1.3) to try to find the reason for hanging playback and dropped frames.

Please set log verbosity to Debug and post your MediaPortal.log and evr.log

Thnx that you release the debug version so fast. Here are my logs.

Marcus ive found another problem. If I start the 3D Movie the script runs to remote my samsung TV in 3d mode. But after the second command the TV goes from 50Hz in 24Hz mode and after this the TV lost the other 2 command from the 3D remote script. So i must do it manual.

And one more. I found another thread from you with a self designed case. I can say goood work the best ever seen.

BTW: Can we merge our efforts here? I also have some 3D stuff in the works, but did not yet come to the configuration and plugin side and auto switching. You are further head with the end user integration while my stuff for the skin engine (your core.dll mods) are more advanced.

If we align our efforts here we can bring this officially to MP rather quickly in a clean way.

@dyamant: Thank you for the compliment on my case. I can check the files on the weekend, because we have a software release at work tomorrow.
@Scythe42: That's a really fantastic idea . I will contact you next week when I have more time.

Hi,

I tried your plugin, but it was not able to auto detect 3D mode, when I watch "Sky 3D" (German TV Channel of Sky). Does your plugin only work with video files and not with Live TV?

 

[Marcus Venturi]

Currently only on Video-Files, but TV should also work. I haven't tested it yet, therefore it is disabled. I can enable it in the next release, then you could test if it works.
