[solved] Live TV - Remote commands are not recognized until I left/right click (1 Viewer)

[Brownard]

So I can't really tell much about what GraphStudio shows me.

Looks like the 'CCCP.ax' codec is the issue by causing 2 video renderers to be added to the graph, which is why you see 2 video windows.
@morpheus_xx (or maybe @Owlsroost ) is this the Core CC Parser? Any ideas why it's leading to 2 video renderers?

I think it is the Core CC Parser, but I have no idea why it creates an own renderer (probably incompatible media (sub) types).

For a quick test I recommend to disable the "Subtitle (Closed Captions)" in Settings/Players/VideoPlayer settings. This should avoid loading of the filter.

Yes, it's the Core CC parser.

but I have no idea why it creates an own renderer (probably incompatible media (sub) types).

Mmm, do you understand how the Core CC parser expects to be used?
There are some example graphs here:
[TV] - North American Closed Captions

A little old, but you can get the general idea.

This is what a filter graph with Core CC Parser should look like:

Note that Closed Captions (CC) are a North American system - they are not used in Europe, which uses DVB or Teletext subtitles instead (I notice that the OP is from Germany).

The OP reports this to happen only with Live TV. We should check the behavior on our systems to verify if we are talking about a general issue or something restricted to the OP's specific situation.

Indeed I had close captions enabled. After disabling them the problem seems to be solved for me.
I must have activated them directly after installing MP2, I think I mixed them up with forced subtitles, can't remember really. Also I did not know CC are a North American system and won't work for me here in Germany.

So I see 2 questions remaining:

• Is there a bug in CCCP filter that leads to this strange graph building? I have seen we have the code copied over into our repo with modifactions. Are there newer changes in original source? I could not find source codes anymore.
• Is it reasonable to enable CC only for specific regions by default?

This the MP1 version of CCCP.ax - MediaPortal-1/DirectShowFilters/Core-CC-Parser at master · MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1 · GitHub
(The original code only handled MPEG2 video, the MP version also handles H.264 video).

I suspect the weird graph posted earlier is due to 2 instances of CCCP.ax having been put into the graph, and then the automatic graph building has tried to connect everything...this feels like a problem with MP2's graph building for TV. Note that CCCP.ax is a pass-through filter for the video data, so the 'Pass Through' output pin looks the same as the Video pin on TsReader (if the input pin on CCCP.ax is connected to TsReader).

You would have to work out which regions might use CC to do that...

GraphBuilding in MP2 is using the automatic way: no manual PIN connections between filters, just adding default filters and let the graphbuilder render the source output PIN. The code puts one instance of CCCP.ax in graph, the other one seems to be automatically inserted.The question is why? And why it happens only here in this example and not for others?

Code is here: MediaPortal-2/VideoPlayer.cs at 86492e16ab8cfcb8c44b05dae94e8bc2518f8e4e · MediaPortal/MediaPortal-2 · GitHub

Btw, just seen a small bug : _graphBuilder.AddFilter(baseFilter, CCFILTER_FILENAME); --> _graphBuilder.AddFilter(baseFilter,CCFILTER_NAME);
But this should not affect graph building, only the filter display name can be different.
