    Its a player issue OR a renderer issue OR a GPU Setup issue OR a tv issue. I can't be more specific than that based on the information you've provided.

    I'd suggest following my setup guide, turn all of those enhancements off incl dynamic range

    Well - it was set over the lav settings as I have used your guide for some time now (0-255) and turned of all teh features from AMD - but it seesm as with OLED it does not work like with LCD - no idea why. But I guess it's as with everyting a personal experiance. Using the AMD settings now for me it seems to be much better.

    What is also not clear to me - with teh whole Contrast and light setup - if it is suggested to turn it down so you see the flicker starting with 17 - doesn't this mean that in return using 0-255 is working against it (if the movie was encoed OK and there should be nothing below 17 ...)

    I think from memory (and a may be wrong) the 0-255 and 16-235 settings in LAV don't make much difference unless you disable YUV... From memorry the 0-255 vs 16-235 only makes a difference for rgb, and since movies are all YUV, that setting will only make a difference if you force LAV to convert everything to RGB. Usually the renderer handles the colorspace conversion.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    Well, the log doesn't show any problems. I can see correctly tuned channels in the log. It seems to me that the tuner works fine. Can you copy the created ts file(located in your timeshift folder) somewhere else while in channel preview and try to play it in VLC or MPC-HC? PS: You can also try to make short record

    I don't think so, because MP has no way of knowing at which timestamp the external player stopped playback. Best way to achieve this would be to use an auto-resume feature in your external player itself. (MPC-HC can do that, I don't know about VLC)
