MP Slow In General - Please Help (1 Viewer)

[NinjaSpy]

I really hope you guys can help as I'm really starting to lose my patience with this program.

Firstly, and most annoyingly, I get stuttering playback (dropped frames) on 1080p, 720p & even SD videos yet these will play fine with Media Player Classic (MPC). These videos are stored locally, not even over the network. I've tried numerous codecs (PowerDVD, MS DTV-DVD, FFDShow, LAV (latest version). I've used GraphStudio to make sure that the same codec that MPC uses (LAV) is used by MP too. I've tried changing the video renderer (VMR9 and EVR). I've made sure Aero is enabled. I've updated the display drivers to the latest version. CPU usage peaks at 37%.

I've attached two screenshots of the video stats here and here.

Even the small weather animation in the top right-hand corner and the RSS feed that scrolls along the bottom is jerky. My PC spec is as follows which I presume is sufficient:

CPU: Intel Core i3-2100 @ 3.10GHz
Memory: 4GB
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Display: Intel HD Graphics (onboard)
Output: Panasonic HDTV
MP Version: 1.2.3.0
Skin: StreamedMP

I'm all ears to any suggestions you can make as I love this program & really don't want to have to switch to XBMC or something.

Thanks in advance.
Mark

Hi Mark

Well, your GPU is not really all that powerful, but as long as you set things up carefully it should be possible to get smooth playback.

Tell me: have you enabled dynamic refresh rate changing so that your display refresh rate is matched with the video frame rate? This is critical.

If so, could you please post logs so we have the information that we need to help.

Follow the instructions for reproducible problems. When you get to the part about reproducing the problem, simply play a 1080p video for 30 seconds.
