Hello,
I think I've found a very nasty bug in MP 1.0.2.
Recently I've replaced my ATI HD3450 by an ATI HD4550 graphics adapter. Reason for this replacement was that the HD3450 hasn’t enough video memory (256MB) for vector adaptive deinterlacing on 1080i.
Since I use the HD4550, I experience a lot of trouble with vector adaptive HW-deinterlacing.
When I'm watching TV in MP, deinterlacing is perfect. But, when I switch to a channel which uses a different resolution, the trouble begins and deinterlacing is very poor. When I select in ‘TV off’ and ‘TV on’ in MP (so that the graph will be rebuilded) deinterlacing is perfect again. Switching between channels which are using the same resolution, deinterlacing stays perfect.
What is wrong? This problem occurs which an ATI HD4550 graphics adapter and with the on-board HD3200 graphics. Strange thing is, when I use a ATI HD3450 graphics adapter there are no deinterlacing problems at all!
I’ve tried almost all recent Catalyst drivers (version 8.11 to 9.6) and tried different versions of the Cyberlink decoders (PDVD7.3, 8 and 9), unfortunately without any improvement.
I’m quite sure this problem related to MediaPortal, because DVBviewer gives me in all cases perfect deinterlacing with the same decoders.
Please find attached the logs. These logs are created in debug mode while doing the following in MP:
- Start Mediaportal
- Go to ‘My TV’
- Watch ‘RTL 4’ (Dutch TV broadcaster, res. 704x576), perfect deinterlacing.
- Switch to ‘Das Erste’ (German TV broadcaster, res. 720x576), poor deinterlacing.
- Press ‘TV off’ and ‘TV on’ in MP, perfect deinterlacing on ‘Das Erste’.
- Switch to ‘Nederland 1’ (Dutch TV broadcaster, res. 704x576) poor deinterlacing again.
- Press ‘TV off’ and ‘TV on’ in MP, perfect deinterlacing on ‘Nederland 1’ again.
Can any HD3200/HD4550 user reproduce this problem? This problem can also be reproduced while switching between HD- and SD TV stations or when switching between ‘BVN’ (unscrambled Dutch TV broadcaster, res. 704x576) and ‘Das Erste’.
Can a developer have a closer look to this problem? Check also this thread.

I think these problems are related.
Many thanks in advance.
