[News] MediaPortal 1.1.0 BETA 1 - Released (1 Viewer)

[johan_80]

But fix this sometime: 0002060: [general] Audio and video aren't always in synch when refresh rate is set to 24 hz

actually i do not even encounter this problem on W7, using DisplayChanger (dc.exe) to set i.e. 24Hz (add the command in the "Action" field in configuration to call dc.exe with right parameters).
MP's internal RR changer is not working because MS changed the API in W7.

I use the dc.exe method, but I have encountered a big problem.

If I watch movies with diffrent frame rates in the following order I get very choppy playback.

1. Start a 1080i source...Have MediaPortal change the refresh rate to 59.94Hz
2. Switch to a 1080p (23.976 or 24fps) source...Have MediaPortal change the refresh to 23.976 or 24Hz

Now the playback can become very stuttery. And to fix this you must minimize MediaPortal and interact with another window. Then go back to MediaPortal and the playback is perfect.

It seems like the renderer is not refreshed. Or that playback is in a strange state trying to catch the v-sync or something.

(I think I saw the same problem (that could be solved with the same solution described above) when skiping back and forth several times in some MPEG-2 Blu-ray remux a while ago)

Hello,

i think i have found a bug:
- i watch a DVB-T HD (H264) channel then i zap to a SD channel and then i press key 0 to go back to last channel viewed (HD one) and MP crashed.

Meybe someone else can confirm?

Nope. that scenario works fine on my system(DVB-S)

Do you run MP in windowed mode?
and please start a bugreport where you _do_ include logs, even if _you_ can not find anything uselful inside.

Fullscreen mode

I've been able to reproduce it on 3 machines now (2 local machines and also on the neighbours HTPC)

I thought I should ask if this was expected before posting a bugreport.

I'm not sure what's happening here. I'm on a fresh win7 and freshly installed MP, but somehow it doesn't seem to work. Getting this annoying bugreport:
I was thinking it had something to do with Netframe, but that was installed with MP. And i didn't install TVServer as i do not use it.

Try disabling HTPCInfoPlugin. At least it seems to cause some error.

In my mediaportal logs, i have this:

But my memory is clean, what does it mean?

Thanks Made the trick.

Edit: had another thing:

Playing a video i MyTrailer in not MP fullscreen mode, changed MP to fullscreen mode and it crashed:

I have this exact same issue. However I did not find a solution to this problem so I am going to try the minimise and interact with another window trick the next time the issue pops up. I will start a bug report on this now that I know that it is not (only) related to my machine.
