Entire TV image clowdy grey but only in MediaPortal (1 Viewer)

[LizzieN]

Hi.

I get good TV image in TotalMedia and in WMC but as soon as I install MP 1.2.3.0 I get a "grey clowd" over the tv video. When I check TotalMedia again it's there too. If I uninstall and reinstall TotalMedia the image is fine there again but it is still clowdy in MediaPortal.
I strongly doubt it's a hardware issue, but rather some codec? giving me problems.

Any ideas? And I do want to use MediaPortal (in XBMC).

Which codecs are you using?

 

[LizzieN]

For MPEG2 it's using Gabest, H.264 - DivX H.264.

My guess is the audio codecs can't have anything to do with it?

Could you try LAVF? -> http://files.1f0.de/lavf/LAVFilters-0.51.3.exe

Using LAV on both TV codecs and both audio codecs i still have the "cloud".

The card I'm using is an ASUS MyCinema-PE6X00 TV Tuner and it's recording an analogue signal.

Could we have some screenshots please? I suspect something may be doing picture "enhancement" - very common for analog signals - but it is hard to know without the screenshots.

 

[LizzieN]

Of course.

Heya Lizzie

Thanks for that.
I'm wondering if maybe the contrast/colour/brightness settings [edit: for the tuner] are messed up. You can tweak these in TV Server configuration:

I also recommend that you check that you have the right video standard settings on the "settings" tab.

Thanks a lot!

You just made my day.

Saturation and hue was all the way down (rather than somewhere in the middle) and somehow MediaPortals settings seems to "spill over" to both WMC and TotalMedia.

Thanks again, Lizzie
