Flickering Tv-guide and other overlays with EVR enabled (7 Viewers)

[tourettes]

Do you know anyone else who is able or willing to do this?

Currently I know no one that would be willing/able...

Can you explain the difference between ATI and Nvidia? Why does it work with Nividia?

He'll most likely answer better drivers - but this mustn't be true I guess they have 1. another handling for multi threaded actions 2. not that much/aggressive stencil buffer optimization than ATI (started with Radeon 8500).

From my personal experience with ATI drivers (have owned 8500 and 3450) I would definitely say that its more buggy drivers But from technical point of view it is most likely just pure luck that Nvidia has such driver code that is more forgiving towards badly behaving applications (like MP).

Nice comment.
I will keep this in mind...

Hope that MP2 will behave more gentle.

The problem is solved (latest SVN)???? Please make an SVN update on sourceforge so I can compile a new build to test it.

 

[chemelli]

Please update to https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/untested-mediaportal-tv-server-1-0-svn-builds-268/mediaportal-svn-snapshot-02-10-2009-15-53h-revision-21688-rar-54592/ and report back if it's fixed for you as well.

Don't foget to reboot the rig before testing

Nothing has changed for me (Radeon 3200). It flickers only with MPEG2 hardware acceleration codecs like Power DVD. There is no flicker with HDTV-channels using Power DVD (same behaviour like before).

Flickering is not gone for me.
Onboard ATI 3200, Vista SP1, ATII Driver Rev. 8.12

 

[disaster123]

For me it is gone (juhu):
1.) Onboard ATI 3200, Vista SP1 32bit, ATII Driver Rev. 9.1, ATI RegistryTweaks imported
2.) external HD3850, Vista SP1 32bit, ATII Driver Rev. 9.1, ATI RegistryTweaks imported
