Call for tester for 1.4.0 features and fixes (4 Viewers)

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.

Check. TV confirms 50hz. Its not only stats.

@Vasilich I cant tell atm. Im building the database to try and reproduce in myvideo. Will take all day by the looks of it.

Actually that is a bug in older MP's as well, not related to @Scythe42's changes. It would be probably better to solve it out of the fixes in this thread to not to combine every single possible fix in one place.

I agree, while this build is Sycthe42's baby and he can do what he likes with it, I'm concerned that some of the epic fixes he's made are at risk of being pushed back to later releases, when more and more stuff is getting put in. Feature freeze it so it can be considered for the next release and start another branch for further fixes

It id different:
Scythe has different branches:
https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/tree/EXP-Windows-7-Half-Full-Screen
https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...87-UnfocusedAlpha_and_textures_in_ListControl
https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/tree/BUG-4076-USB-UIRT_repeats_commands_too_slow
and more
So these are all isolated fixes but he merged all the independent fixes in one branch to make testing easier, at the end you can choose which one gets in a release He makes a good job so give him some time, he will do the right thing

 

[Scythe42]

Refresh Rate change related issues would be dealt with in its own branch...

 

[Atomic7431]

Merge branch 'refs/heads/master' into EXP-Windows-7-Half-Full-Screen

am i reading this correctly? the half screen issue has been merged into the 1.3 code on github, this is for when mepo enters half screen when amp is turned off or tv ?

has this been brought forward to the final code of 1.30?

 

[Scythe42]

Nope, master has been merged to the experimental branch...

 

[Atomic7431]

i see and there i was getting excited lol great work by the way

For the interested guys....

Loading window plugins: 1.4 seconds compared to 5 seconds.
Loading process plugins: 0.02 seconds compared to 0.06 seconds
Starting process plugins: 1.3 seconds compared to 1,8 seconds

So basically: 2.7 seconds vs. 6.8 seconds (tested on an Acer Aspire 711 notebook from work)

I think that's an improvement... That is just the loading/starting time on an empty MP with a couple of plugins installed.

That sounds great. Just out of curiosity, i just checked my startup with a stopwatch (from pressing the start mp button on my remote to home screen). it took 29.51 seconds. So reducing that by 60% would be really great. Hope we can test it soon =). Would also be interessting what the times are on other systems that are in use and not just a clean install.

Thanks for your work.
