Hi

Just wondered if anyone has tried the new version of CoreAVC (3.01) with MP 1.2?

I installed it and MP keeps crashing... But it could be something else at fault.

Apologies folks for my improper post. I was really just wondering if anyone had installed it and had it working OK. I just started getting a few errors...

Since my post my system has gone into meltdown. I went back in to enable logging and post some info, but I started getting errors left right and centre - not just MP related. I got so overwhelmed by them that I decided to restore the system from a backup.

It was still no good, and I now cannot even reinstall Windows - I am getting BSOD's when I boot of the Win7 installation CD. The weird thing is that the exact STOP error keeps changing (ACPI, various drivers... too many to note).

I think maybe my motherboard has a problem. I don't know yet and am about to go away for a few days so it will have to wait. It's not that old (Gigabyte GA-H55-UD2H).

Thanks for input anyway.

What pain, I was just about to sell it anyway and now I have to fix it first!

    Quick update:
    I tested CoreAVC 3.0.1 on my laptop (1.2.0 BETA installed) and there were no crashes. I haven't tested seeking tho.
    Maybe I will test more when I find the time.

    I did some more testing on my HTPC now (MediaPortal RC SVN installed) and had no problems with seeking or anything else. Works well so far..

    I did use CoreAVC during my WinXp and Vista times. But with the release of W7 and its inbuilt codecs, I am wondering why I should buy CoreAVC.

    I found I only needed it for the UK HD Channels (BBC One HD,. BBC HD, ITV HD etc).
    The MS codecs and PDVD codecs all had issues, and didn't handle a bad signal very well. CoreAVC however seems to work perfectly.
    The setup i've found to work - MS Codecs for all except: PDVD Codec for Video h264 (for Blu Ray playback) and CoreAVC for TV h264. Anything else had some sort of issue! hours of trial an error!

    It's a good codec and the latest features would have been fantastic a few years ago. It just seems completely redundant though now unless you're still on XP.

    100% my bad - as expected :) So, I had disabled the Windows Update service. Not a wise move, until MP all installed and working nicely.

    TV Server plugins are listed on this page, and "EPG Cleaner" can be downloaded from this page. Note: I don't know what bitness the plugin has. It might be 32-bit, or it might be "any cpu". The plugin is not listed by the "MP Extensions" tool, so I don't know whether it has been tested with the most-recent MP releases. -- from...
