Grey blacks with internal player + EVR (1 Viewer)

[1stdead]

Thx for the fast response. How can I fix it without MP. Do I still have to replace the EVR.dll with the pre SP1 one?

I think some succeed in changing the EVR.dll, but if you use MPHC you could use one of its filters. Otherwise i don't.

It has been fixed for about 1-2 months. If you use the new beta this should be fixed, otherwise 1.02 with an new svn.

Worked, but the Colors could be a little more intensive. Should I change the Plasma settings or the color settings in MP?

Hi,

I'm using the latest MediaPortal beta and get proper black levels with coreavc, but with mpc video decoder (using dxva)
the blacks are somewhat grey. Shouldn't this be fixed in the MP beta? Can someone help out? I'd love to use dxva.

I'm on Windows 7 64bit, radeon 4890, catalyst 9.9 (maybe the new catalyst are the problem?).

Picture 1 = Coreavc
Picture 2 = MPC (dxva)

Did you disabled dynamic brightnes in CCC?

You meant dynamic contrast?

I turned it off and now it shows proper blacks!

Thank you, Hoborg

Is it possible that evr-bug returned in combination MP 1.1 beta + Win 7? My picture is as bad as in sooner times, evr-bug was on stage.
I will make an experiment, changing evr.dll with vista pre sp1 evr.dll. Ill report soon!

At least the cause is different this time as the dshowhelper.dll hasn't been modified. Any possibility that you are using Catalyst and have dynamic contrast (or what ever it was called)?

Make sure your NVidia settings use the correct color range. You can select 16-235 and 0-255 in the control panel. Please check these settings. I had a similar problem and changed the setting. Also please check your codecs in regards to the color range as well if if only happens with certain files.

I have bad picture with Nvidia 9400 and with Radeon 4670. pre sp1 evr didnt help. Dynamic contrast in catalyst i have always disabled and in Nvidia settings i played with 0-255 and 16-235. Dont know why but with Win 7 i dont get as good picture as with vista and the difference is absolut big. I changed HDMI-cable, didnt help too.

I go back to vista. Started new installation 15 minutes before.

Picture quality ist most important for me. Thanks for the hints and thanks for this great MP, cant imagine media-live without MP!

Bad picture under Vista too.
Think my Toshiba TV is going to hell now.
