MP 1.3.0 - frequent crashes on playing a second video :( (1 Viewer)

[Airw0lf]

Hi,

Having upgraded from 1.2.3 to 1.3.0 I am having a nightmare trying to play my content using either the Videos plugin or the TVSeries plugin. The first video I play works fine, but the second video I play almost always has problems. Sometimes the videos plugin just reports "Unable to play video." Or other times MediaPortal just crashes. On very rare occasions everything works fine.

I am playing x264/AAC content. CoreAVC 3.0.1 Pro is my H.264 codec (DXVA enabled), AAC audio provided by LAV Audio decoder, splitter source/filesync are LAV as well. These have been selected manually by me in "Codecs and Renderer."

Below is the extract from the error.log file.

This is the contents of the vmr9.log. You can see first that I played one video, then the second video which caused the crash.

your system specs are not visible / not filled. You haven't told us what OS do you have, what video renderer is active, etc. please follow the link http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/16_Support/3_Forums/1_System_Specs

Have you tried to use LAV video decoder with active DXVA instead of CoreAVC?
Also, please post log files as described here http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/16_Support/3_Forums/2_Log_Files

It looks like something is up with CoreAVC. Using the LAV video decoder doesn't cause issues.
