Embedded webbrowser choppy fullscreen flash video (1 Viewer)

[Brownard]

Hi,

I'm attempting to create a plugin for watching tv catchup services. I'm trying to use the same method as NeverMissTV and TunerFreeMCE whereby I load the web page in an embedded browser control and use a Clickhandler to control the flash player.

The Problem:

When the flash player enters full screen the video playback becomes choppy, I believe this is a focus issue with MP as when I right click the video to bring up the flash context menu (giving the video focus??) playback becomes smooth but returns to choppy when the menu is dismissed. Playback is always smooth when using the same method in a simple WinForm.

Anyone know of a way round this? All ideas welcome.

Attached is a simple demo plugin to illustrate the issue.

Thanks

can't test since I can't watch the streams in Austria.

If you can compile MediaPortal yourself you can try to remove

         //if we dont got the focus, then dont use all the CPU
        if (ActiveForm != this || (GUIGraphicsContext.SaveRenderCycles))
        {
          Thread.Sleep(100);
        }

in d3dapp.cs (Ln 1472) in the MediaPortal project.

Thanks for reply but I still get the same behaviour with the above removed

I fixed this by setting

GUIGraphicsContext.Vmr9Active = true;

whilst in fullscreen
