MediaPortal Audio renderer - better video playback quality (5 Viewers)

[tourettes]

New release available. As usual you can grab it from the 3rd post: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/637138-post3.html


NOTE: you need to reset the 5.1 and 7.1 channel mask overrides - setting name has been changed in registry

channelMaskOverride_5_1 to ChannelMaskOverride_5_1
channelMaskOverride_7_1 to ChannelMaskOverride_7_1

• Fixed a deadlock with audio stream changes
• Fixed A/V sync with stream changes
• Fixed a possible crash with the AC3 encoding

If nothing critical appears (crashes or dead locks) the next test build will be containing the resampling functionality.

Re: AW: MediaPortal Audio renderer - better video playback quality

here are the logs. I watched RTL then changed to pro7. After a while I had the stuttering (fps ist going up an down ). I went back (5 sec) and everything was ok.

Logs don't show any clues what could be wrong. Please provide a TS buffer that can be used to reproduce the issue.


1) stop tv service and delete all TS buffer files
2) start tv on RTL - watch for 30 seconds
3) change to pro7 - watch 1 minute
4) change to RTL - watch 1 minute
5) use task manager to kill the tv service
6) make sure that the issue is reproducible in My Videos by playing that TS buffer file the tv service created

AW: MediaPortal Audio renderer - better video playback quality

Hi tourettes,

I think you can't reproduce it with the ts file. I don't have the problems with recorded tv. I have this problem only by watching live TV

If you play a TS buffer file (for instructions how to create that see my previous post) it should be reproducible since the it s basicly the same as playing live tv. Only exception to that would be TsReader running out of the material in live tv - this kind of issue cannot be reproduced with playing a timeshifting buffer file in my videos.

Hi all,

I'm in the process of trying this thread also, because my video and audio under MP1.1.0 is stuttering. But I'm not able to register the mpaudiorenderer.ax.

It says that its loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with code 0x80070055. Please see attached file.

Can somebody please give me some pointers?

Thanks in advance,
John

red5goahead, here's a version that will log what latency the audio HW reports. Just to check if the Xonar would report something else than the actual buffer size as the latency (it would be doing something odd most likely, but would be good to check).

Others shouldn't update to this version - there is nothing new in.

Logging will contain:

WASAPIRenderer::InitAudioClient device reported latency 50 ms - buffer based latency 50 ms

12-09-2010 12:19:49.268 [ 9ac] WASAPIRenderer::InitAudioClient device reported latency 400 ms - buffer based latency 200 ms

I hope Xonar shows up the same (althou I don't like the idea that some HW as good that is providing worser latency that the few bucks integrated audio chips ). If some Xonar user can confirm that the bugger and device based latency values are different it will allow my to fix the defaul "50 ms" lipsync issue that red5goahead reported.

12-09-2010 21:12:58.891 [ 1030] WASAPIRenderer::InitAudioClient device reported latency 10 ms - buffer based latency 0

with WASAPIUseEventMode=0 because with WASAPIUseEventMode=1 with this release I've no sound at all (pause / play sometimes it come back , usual awful sound like play-exclusive test as you know)

NOTE: If I set WASAPIUseEventMode=1 then log report
