Have just installed MediaPortal and finding it very good, but a couple of quirks.
I am in New Zealand, using a Nova-S-Plus DVB-S PCI card to receive satellite Freeview (Optus D1). Most channels work fine, but a couple (TV1, TV2) have a weird issue with a lot of stuttering. When I do the "!" thing to bring up on-screen deubg info, I can see that the "DETD FPS" value is constantly fluctuating between 50 and 25 FPS. As it moves between the two a lot of stuttering occurs. The "REPT FPS" value is a constant 50FPS (reported?). It seems to drop into 25FPS when there is not much movement on the screen, for example during the news when newsreader just talking to the camera. When an action shot comes on, it jumps up to 50FPS.
Other channels (TV3, for example) work fine, and stay a constant 50FPS.
Any ideas?? Is there a way to force MP to use the Reported value? Does Dynamic Refresh Rate have any influence on this? Is it a TV server thing, or a MP thing?
Thanks
