[confirm] LOTS of Late B-frame(10), Compensated. (TsReader) (1 Viewer)

[Juppe]

I think the title says it all.

When I watch tv, there is a lot of "Late B-frame(10), Compensated" in TsReader and I mean a lot, about 15-20/sec. Is this normal? And it looks like the compensating is increasing all the time. I did have the same with RC 2 but where told that it is a bad signal or something like that, but I cant remember that I have had this before RC 2.
The logs are from when I'm using DVB-C, but it looks the same for DVC-S

Hi
Have you uploaded a sample ts file with issues?

 

[Juppe]

No, where do I upload a sample, cant upload them here, they are to big for that.
How can I save a ts-file from when I watch TV?

 

[romuz]

Here is described place for upload
Debugging/TS-dumps - MediaPortal Manual Documentation

While watching you can copy timeshift file somewhere without any problem.
But please do not create it too much (50-100 Mb is enough)

Thanks, will upload later today.

Have uploaded a sample now.

Hope someone can have a look at it.
I tested to play it in myvideo and I got the same result there.

Hi
I have late frames too with your sample but it doesn lead to any issues with playback.

Tested with WMP and can see a lot of artefacts like the one in the screenshot below.

Not having access but listening to the tone of the thread, I too have this condition and while the analysis in TS_Reader has a large number of Late frames, there were three entries logged near the end of the evr.log in the 22:40:37.201 timeframe stating dropped frame. I too get this but on a grander scale, more dropped frames than this poster and the chart (from <Shift><1>) has a regular 'pulse' to the Red line which corresponds directly with an increment of the dropped frames counter on that chart. Not trying to hi-jack the thread, instead help with the diagnosis.

As far as artefacts, could that be related to the individual graphiics card, or more specifically the users settings? Both of these posters have ATi cards with no mention of CCC version or specific settings... but I'm brainstorming.
