Flickering Tv-guide and other overlays with EVR enabled (2 Viewers)

[narsor]

If I use terratec codecs, I have bad flickering on UI whenever I watch video, live tv stream etc (if EVR is enabled). If I use microsoft codecs or ffdshow, everything works fine

Pilehave,
I do not experience flickering anymore with my new setup:

Integrated HD3200 with latest bios (my advice: update your motherboard bios as the video bios is also updated that way)
Use latest Ati driver (do not stick to 9.5 or 9.6 as I see sometimes in the forum)
Use Windows 7 (32bits for me)
Install unlocked SAF 5 beta
Codec used without flickering with Dxvda (PDVD10 (my preference), ffmeg)
EVR enabled
Clean install of latest MP 1.1.1
Use skin Blue Wide
(look at image type of your TV logos, mines are jpg)

Good luck

Strange.

I had some problems with saf 5 and powerdvd-codec. So I changed to MS Codec (TV), PowerDVD (HD-TV), ffdshow (video). I had again flickering when TV was running.

I must say that in the past it has gone after an update from ATI HD 3300 integerated to ATI HD 5450. But now was again there. Now I installed new Alpha, updated Maya-Skin and all plugins and flickering is gone again. The codecs and the graphic driver don't changed. Only change was, that i switched back to Direct-Sound from Mediaportal Audio render. But a short test with the Mediaportal Audio Render shows also no flickering.

edit:
I must correct my statement. Flickering is there and not gone.

I think there has been evidence in this thread that the problem also is related to what Skin you are using - or more precise how the overlays are constructed in the skin. If I remember correctly I noticed that if the preview window is larger (for instance in the TV Guide overlay) - the flickering is less evident. And the preview window is of course in different sizes for every skin... I have actually manually enlarged most of my preview windows in my skins I am using..

Sorry no, one of our developer tried to contact the AMD / ATI support to get more technical help but but they didn't even understand what the issue is So, if someone has a real technical contact to AMD / ATI GPU driver developers please let us know.

Have you tried other codecs, such as Cybelink or ffdshow? I have onboard ATI HD4250 with the same problem - replaced by HD5670 and problem goes away. Then had to go back to HD4250 and problem returned. But recently I replaced the system HDD on SSD and the problem goes away completely.

This might sound strange but since I have installed miroslav's diskIO patch I have not had any more flickering UI. This is on a singleseat setup. Has anyone else seen this?
