Hi all - I've got another slight video issue i've noticed since upgrading to v1.0.1. When watching HD channels, about every 10 or 20 seconds there seems to be a sort of "flicker" - it looks like for one or 2 frames I get the frame of something that happened about 5 seconds ago..if that makes sense? It's quite offputting and I can't see how it was introduced. Any ideas? Ta

it might be worth changing your timeshifting folders to different ones for each card - go to recording settings in TV Setup

Logs please, or I will have to delete the thread

 

[Jimbawb]

Ack - apologies..I should have known better. I'll get these for you tonight!

I've sort of managed to catch it on camera (albiet poor framerate). You can see the glitch happen at about 2 seconds, one just before 8 seconds, one just after 12 seconds although its more obvious when watching the screen that in that video. I'll get the logs in one moment...

Logs attached. I saw the flickering about 3 times for these logs - first one occured within about 3 seconds of starting..second about halfway through and the third about 10 seconds before i stopped the stream.

Thanks in advance

Any ideas guys? I've seen other threads related to dodgy HD pictures and they suggest reinstalling codecs - i'll give that a go soon but my problem is slightly different as i do generally get a picture..just it flickers weirdly.

 

[Jimbawb]

Sorry to drag this up but just to let people know i fixed it by reinstalling powerdvd. It seems the update to 1.0.1 breaks something in the codecs/dx?

 

[Spragleknas]

No need to be sorry... more poeple should do what you just did: Update the thread when the issue is resolved.
Thread marked as fixed

The flicker is back...I think its something to do with the update to powerdvd codecs maybe?
