1.15.0 Info OSD "Y" Button during TV playback (2 Viewers)

[Kotik]

hi kotik, watched your screens a bit, Actual FPS: 49,5456 wtf.
my wild guess is that your display rate isnt correctly switched somehow, so no wonder you get frames dropping.

My Display Refresh Rate is set correctly, on this PC i am not using DRR cause i set refresh rate manually before i enter MP, you are confusing Display HZ Field / Meas Refresh Field with the rendering FPS field.
On my screenshot u can see that my display is properly set to 50.0000Hz and that the meas reports i am at 49.997 which is what my vga outputs to my display.

The FPS field that u are talking about is the result of the actual problem, that field should report 50 and it DOES when the Y menu is off, the moment the Y menu is on the whole video is jerky and this is why u can see that the FPS field is not 50.

Also, I wonder if the problem is due to missing EPG:
[2016-06-30 21:35:15,957] [Log ] [MPMain ] [DEBUG] - UpdateNextEpgProperties: no EPG data, returning

This one is actually a good find, can someone test it without EPG?

Good find

In latest madVR version, refresh rate from MP is not handled if EVR in use (when madVR is used). But we need to let the option enable in MP config.
About EPG, this need to be disable on server side ?

Thanks

As i said above, i am not using the Madvr version on this setup, the screenshots are taken on a clean MP 1.15 Final with no extra addons.
It is a clean install with nothing on top of it and on a different PC.

Does the stuttering also occure when you play TV Stream with eg. VLC?
maybe it's just a problem of bandwith?

 

[Kotik]

There is no stuttering when i just watch TV.

Like i said in 1st post, the issue appears with the Y info button and only with it.

Without it everything is working perfectly.

 

[joEhSuper]

oh - sorry...

 

[Kotik]

np i think it was my bad not explaining the issue properly.

It might be easier for you to check whether the problem goes away when you add EPG data. Any data will be okay for testing (ie. doesn't have to be the actual EPG for the channels).

 

[Kotik]

Yep, will test it tomorrow.

Did some more testing today with some interesting results. There is the tuning information menu that will show current channel signal strengh and quality and it also will show the Mbit/s value, well although when u enter this menu tv gets resized but u can observe the rendering graph and see that there are no dropped frames.
In other words the Mbit/s value doesnt seem to affect playback from within this menu.
So my theory regarding dvbs card drivers is wrong and ur theory about epg data missing is more realistic cause the ONE thing the tuning info menu doesnt have is EPG data

Needs more investigation, will do it tomorrow.

 

[mm1352000]

The Mb/s value doesn't come from the tuner driver. It is calculated by TsReader (MP component). So, I agree that the problem is not related to the tuner driver.

Ok i did more testing with EPG to see if EPG is the reason it behaves like this.

Below u will find 2 screenshots in the 1st one my rendering times are 1.2ms and mind u they are 1.2ms with the channel list OSD open aswell BUT the moment i open the info OSD "Y" buttong my rendering times skyrocket to 14+ ms.

The channel has EPG data so i am running out of ideas.



Logs are with EPG data this time.

Something very interesting guys,

I wanted to see if my TV Server has something strange and i discovered something, the moment i press Y on client the server CPU goes from 1% usage to 25% usage.

Any ideas? It doesn't increase with any other menu.

My render time goes from 1.7 to 3.3 with Y menu open but all ok still and no dropped frames, i would assume it's normal for the render time to increase with the menu open as it's rendering gui overlay and video but i guess how much it increases by would be dependant on hardware ?
