Hi Tony,
I have a problem with 92a non dwm.. sometimes after standby (only after the standy) I have a black screen and I can hear only the audio.. I don't what happen.. I'll post the log

I have the same problem and in Window Application Event Log i found the crash of dshowhelper.dll

You are using the standard MP 1.2.2 dshowhelper (v0055f), so it might not be the same problem as cecet23.

There is no Window Application Event Log info in the zip file - can you post what it says please ?

Also, when did you get the black screen - the resume from standby was at 12:19, but the logs run to 15:58 (with several channel zaps in between) ?

There is nothing in evr.log to indicate any problems....

Does MP freeze when it happens, or can you just stop and restart the movie ?

When it happens, how do you fix it - the MediaPortal.bak (old log) just stops, then a new MediaPortal.log is started, so did you have to kill MP with Task Manager ?

I'm using two different workaround

1) restart mp
2) send the pc in standby again and resume.

Haven't had any problems for ages, but this evening I'm having problems with TV video freezing/stuttering. Sound continues normally. Thought it was a TSreader/nostopmodv44 issue at first, but after stopping/restarting the channel, closing/restarting MP I realised it happens when MP loses focus, when the render time shoots up. Tried switching to single-screen and back to dual-screen again which has fixed this in the past, but not tonight. As I say, everything's been fine for ages so I don't know why it's acting up tonight. I'll try rebooting and see if that fixes it.

EDIT: Yep, it's much better after rebooting and the render time doesn't shoot up when MP loses focus, although playback still stutters badly when I'm scrolling in the browser, although this doesn't make much difference to render time or FPS it's quite obvious in the stats graph. Not sure why the TSreader and evr logs stop at 22:39 when I made the logs at 22:42 and was triggering the problem around 22:41 by scrolling in the browser.

Do not scroll in browser while watching DVD / TV / BD / MKV / AVI / etc. Your system just cannot keep up with the load the GPU would have.

Well HwInfo shows GPU usage with TV playing between 1% and 5.3% and when scrolling (or even if the browser has focus) this can increase to around 9%, with the highest recorded peak at 16%, so I can't really see that the GPU is being overloaded.

I also tried changing the Power Scheme from Balanced to High Performance in case the P-State switching was causing problems, but that didn't make any difference.

If there a re really short spikes in the GPU usage you wont be able to see those in any statistics. In any case completely off topic for this thread.

Well I can only really go by the statistics and if they're not showing high GPU usage it seems a leap to assume that's the problem.

Anyway, if the problem of the render time shooting up when MP lost focus (not even scrolling in the browser) isn't anything to do with dshowhelper, what is it to do with?

Probably with the fact that you are running on a dual monitor setup.
