[QUOTE="GregS70, post: 733646, member: 111129"] I'm having a similar issue. Online videos and live TV that are in 1080p resolution drop frames. I get about 16fps according to the on-screen stats, and it's telling me it's dropping 3x as many as it's showing. I've tried every MPEG2 and h.264 codec combo. Instead of dropping frames, at least one codec will play the audio at the right rate, but the video plays slowly, lagging further and further behind. Youtube videos play fine in a browser, and TV looks good in Hauppauge WinTV (not sure if there's a way to see the fps there), so I feel like the hardware and drivers are okay. For codecs, I have the SAF40 pack. Attached is the debug log zip from a TV run with a configuration where the video lags. Also attached are non-debug EVR and MediaPortal logs from playing a Youtube video with a configuration where frames are dropped. I also saw [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/codecs-external-players-55/frame-drops-full-screen-but-not-window-mode-91618/"]this post[/URL] which looks to have very similar hardware and similar-but-not-identical symptoms, but I'm hoping his self-made conclusion is incorrect. I found something on the MP site (not sure if it was in the forums or the wiki) when I was building this system, which I read as saying this hardware would be sufficient, but I can't find that reference now.
