    Reclock shouldn't be even used for live tv. Also using different dshowhelper.dll wont help since the issue is in the files itself tv server records.

    I don't use reclock, and this dll did solve my stutterproblems. I can post new logs with the dll if you want?

    As you can see from the thread the DLL does cause troubles for other users. So it is not a global solution and something we could start to use in MP. Some approaches for frame scheduling / presentation timing etc. work better on some HW combos. Maybe there will be one day a perfect EVR presenter, but at least 1.1.0 wont contain such.

    Logs wont help. Those aren't revealing enough information for frame scheduling etc. (and we cannot generate such huge amounts of log information even with debug logging enabled).

    I know replacing the DLL isn't a global solution; I was hoping it could help you; I understand this is a very difficult problem for the developers. For now I can only say that I never had so much problems with stutter since RC2 and it even got worse in RC3.
    So that's why I thought it was nessesary to produce some logs.

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution.

Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

    First thing to say is that I use MP1, whereas I believe that you use MP2. @ge2301 has just posted that MP2 has a "folder view" in addition to the "library view", so you should be able to set up your system as I describe below, but the details will differ. In MP1, the folders that are to appear on the "Videos" panel are defined in "MP...

    According to Wikipedia, Windows only uses code pages other than UTF-8 to support legacy (mostly 32 bit) applications and supports two code pages in addition to UTF-8 (OEM and ANSI). According to Microsoft, UTF-8 has been the preferred character set since 2019. If TV Server (or its import routine) were using UTF-8, then umlauts...
