How do I recognize that HW MPEG2 decoder ATI 2600 Pro si working and no SW decoding when my analogue TV PAL (720x576) is launched?

I use MP 0.2.3 + powerDVD decoder

thank you

    when u play an mpeg2, hardware acceleration should double the amount of FPS(frames per second)

    in australia we have 25fps on pal tv (analogue and HD), so when u play something with hardware acceleration it plays at 50 fps...that means HW acceleration is on

    u can tell the fps (and other things) by HOLDING SHIFT AND PRESS 1 ....try it

    it toggles on and off

    when using the cyberlink codecs ..u must 1st go into powerdvd and select the PUREVIDEO option and select the "BOB Deinterlacing" in the dropdown list

    u may have to save and reload the app a few times for it to show

    in MP make sure u have HW on

    done..if hw acceleration works (and it requires up to date and correct drivers/software/hardware) u notice no interlacing..ever

    Ran into this problem following an otherwise sucessful upgrade from MP 1.34 x64 to MP 1.35 x64 the CEC Remote plugin which I use just to control volume and standby, will no longer put my devices (TV & AVR) to sleep when the HTPC is put in standby. Also when I wake up the HTPC MP closes or crashes (not sure which) as per the example in...

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

    Many thanks for the answer. So far I've used Logitech's Harmony hub. This allows you to control all components (including the media portal). I have now contacted the Sofabaton hotline. It should also work here like with the Harmony. Unfortunately, not all of the IR codes are correct. You can also learn commands here. But that doesn't...

    Yes, that’s planned. The new installer (completely reworked with new GUI) is basically ready, but the alternative TV plugins are not fully finalized. After that you’ll be able to select a TV engine within the installer :)
