Hi,
when I start a movie from Moving Pictures 1.3.1, the audio starts playing almost immediately but the screen keeps showing the movie list. After a rather long time (20+ seconds), the Moving Pictures GUI disappears and video playback starts; the video position matches the audio from that point on.
If I start the same video from MediaPortal's own video plugin, both video and audio start simultaneously (or at least with unnoticeable delay).
I have captured and looked at debug logs of MediaPortal and Moving Pictures from the following steps (I have shortened them to the relevant sections and attached them, but I have the complete logs available if necessary):
Looking at the output, I see a long pause in the MediaPortal log before "g_Player: ShowFullScreenWindow":
If I check the same point when starting from My Videos, this shows up:
Does anybody have an idea what might be causing the 23s pause before "g_Player: ShowFullScreenWindow" in the first log file snippet?
Regards,
lcg
P.S.: Codec-wise, I keep my system pretty clean. I have only installed Haali Splitter for Matroska containers and ffdshow-tryouts for pretty much everything I ever want to put into such a container.

- Start movie from Moving Pictures => video not showing for 20+ seconds, audio plays fine
- Start the same file from My Videos => video and audio start immediately
- Start again from Moving Pictures => same delay as in step 1
