Call for tester for 1.4.0 features and fixes (5 Viewers)

Just had a look at some of the other fixes listed in the first post - looks like a really nice release. High DPI compatibility is fantastic, my laptop has issues with this. The screen being shifted up by 6 pixels hasn't happened to me but I used to get the screen shifted down by about that amount and rewriting D3D handling should fix that too. Really looking forward to it.

Scythe,

Just a question.
With the plugin moving pictures one can have one movie entry which contains two movie parts. xxxx movie part 1 and xxxx movie part 2. MovingPictures automatically recognizes the two files make one movie, so it plays file 1 directly after file 2. BUT when the refreshrate changer works during part 1, it switches back to the Default (when forced in config) when movie part 2 is started. MP doesnt react or detect the situation correctly. Part two is now played with the default refreshrate.

Is this problem solvable with an update and attention from you in this rework?

Same reason for both scenarios. This should already be fixed. But as said there are still some glitches left I am working on. Next release probably over the weekend if my time allows it. Currently a lot of stress at the new job.

That is solvable. Please Mantis this issue and attach some logs to the mantis entry.

Logs and an indication of CPU usage might help (especially in comparison to 1.3.0RC).

Log is perfectly fine. We have a defect here that probably will show when using playlists as well. Does your TV confirm the 50Hz? Want to make sure it is not the stats render that gets the wrong information.

That seems to be the issue. As we already are at 23Hz there should be no attempt to set it again, even though it should not hurt. Some how we end up with 50Hz again. That was not done by MP. That was done by Windows as there is no indication bthe logs MP did it between playing the two files.

I have mentioned this issue a while ago but no one did anything about it or confirm it. The problem lies in the 'change' when a default refresh rate is set. I have set it to 50hz, so when u go along a playlist from video1(23.976) to video2(23.976), it goes back to the GUI refresh rate hence the change back to 50hz. The problem is that the change all happens too fast and u don't get the 23.976 -> 50hz -> 23.976.
Instead u get 23.976 -> 50hz.... And then video2 plays.
