[QUOTE="claimui, post: 668365, member: 106665"] I purchased the updated BCM970015 from LogicSupply. I am using it in a Thinkpad with integrated x3100 graphics and Windows XP SP3. It took some experimentation but I finally have it working (mostly) well in MediaPortal. On certain videos (particularly 1080p h.264 files), using the VMR9 renderer would result in no video (black screen) while audio played normally. Switching to EVR (again, this is under Windows XP) would result in MediaPortal's built-in player not even starting correctly. I could hear the audio in the background (sometimes), but the screen would stay frozen on the file list. After several tests with GraphStudio, I noticed that MediaPortal was using the Broadcom Video Decoder filter, but it was connecting the graph differently than other media players. I had set my MediaPortal Configuration to use default DirectShow settings. So I unclicked the box and specified "Broadcom Video Decoder" as my decoder for H.264, etc. Now it seems to work with all videos, but only using the EVR (software) renderer. I still get inconsistent results with the VMR9 renderer, but that is probably not a MediaPortal problem because I'm now seeing it with other media players when set to VMR9. [/QUOTE]
