[QUOTE="activ, post: 169968, member: 51705"] Hi guys ( and girls if there are any on the forum ), I'm having a very weird problem. When I play 1080P mkv/x264 files, that are demanding, and use ffdshow I get a lot of frame drops ( skips entire parts of the difficult scenes ). Now I know what you think:"His htpc just isn't coping". But, and here it comes, then it would not work fine when using mediacenter or mediaplayer. It works perfecly fine when I use mediacenter, the problem is only there when using ffdshow and media portal. ffdshow is the latest tryouts and haali is also the latest. So the real question is what does mediaportal do differently? I always asumed that it just used the directshow filters in windows in the same way mediaplayer does but there is clearly a difference. Can anyone help me solve this please? I love mediaportal and don't want to switch for this stupid thing.
