i totally agree with you , but why this only happens using v_75 no dwm, and it didn't ever happen with other directshow dll ? (to be honest i noticed a couple of other crashs with another past directshow.dll but i can't remember what)

thank you

Silly thought of mine mrmojo666,
But maybe you are having trouble with ATI CCC v11.2??? You claim in the blog you do not, but this COULD be a simptome. Just thinking...

again LOL

you could be right but i didn't have any BSOD because all those guys thalking about 11.2 bugs didn't notice that officiale the bugs inside 11.2 could make going to BSOD on instalaltion...... as reported on that thread https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/725855-post31.html.

that post links another forum where they talk about BSOD....... http://www.downloadatoz.com/driver/...-to-fix-graphics-freezing-issues-of-11-2.html

my silly thought is: why ppl don't go deep inside the news and READ articles ?

i'm not saying i have the Truth at any case, but just i need more real evidence about issues..... i will be happy if someone can link me articles that talk about video playing issues on others sites....... usually i'm used to find on AMD official forum all the old drivers ati issues.

anyway i'm sure that is not that bug , because i got only MP crashed or freezed with some new directshowhelpers, not with original 1.2a and v67 (that i use everyday from the day or the release)

i think many user don't heavy use MP, but just start MP one time per day and they don' zap much and don't change from file content to live tv etc....... i' using 3 client around the home and the only way to watch tv is by MP at my home.

byeeeee

Media Portal seems not work with new CoreAvc version 2.5 (released today)
I don't know if it's related to new evr renderer or not.
take a look

It's the graph building where it fails (well before the EVR presenter is run) - have you tried building a graph in GraphStudio using tsreader.ax + CoreAVC 2.5 etc ?

Not working also in graphstudio. the previous version work. maybe MP is not the problem though new Avc work fine in MPC-HC. it's weird.

Seems to be a general problem - see https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/codecs-external-players-55/coreavc-2-5-mediaportal-1-1-2-unable-play-video-94871/

I'm actually a lot more concerned about the 'MyQueue: No more space' messages that I've seen twice in your logs recently - as far as I can work out, this message should never happen, so it means something has gone wrong with the sample queue management in dshowhelper.....

Tony

Looking at the code, nothing acts upon the failure to add to the queue, (other than protecting from allocating space that isn't there) so imagine timings go out of wack from there on as that frame effectively disappears from the stream. It certainly becomes unusable from that point on and may point to a threading issue that does't always result in an effective queue overrun but may have more subtle symptoms that aren't being logged.

Is there anything you can suggest I try to help track down the scenario that creates this "should never happen" problem?

I did some work yesterday on revising the inter-thread locking and sample buffer logic - haven't quite finished it/tested it enough to release it yet, but the first draft of it is in 'dshowhelper_DWM_mod' branch of subversion if you want to play

It's only my opinion but (for TV) you should first use PowerDVD10 codecs (SAF5 Full), and change priority process like this : Mediaportal.exe above normal, tvserver.exe : hight, dwm.exe : realtime. Just try this by pressing Control-shift-escape. You can also stop any unwanted services and stop every software like anti virus. Last test you can do is to kill explorer.exe and lauch only mediaportal.exe. In 1 word, optimizing the computer can also help.

Thanks Thanks Thanks... Optimizing my PC, helped a lot. Now the Rendertime and also FPS are much flatter... (v67)

But I only have one strange Problem... At the beginning, all Lines are completely flat, but after some time in LiveTV (Zapping,Watching....), the lines get spikes and spikes and afterwards dropping frames..... till it is unreasonable....

Any Idea???

Try pausing the video for a second - it may fix it (it happens on my system after channel change/zapping sometimes).

Mkay, I will give it a trail... But i dont really think that its because of zapping or changing channels... I think it is also by looking only one channel without any zapping... Firstly I only have few dropping frames , but after some time the dropping frame rate is rising ..... I couldn't find any conspicuous things in the logs.... Only restarting TVServer helps....

Hello,
I'm currently testing 55c and it looks very good (without reclock for the moment). I have the best results I ever had (tested version 37 a long time ago, and MePo audio renderer version too).
Question: what is the influence of the video codec? I did a test with a mkv file (Avatar 1080p) and I have better results with ffdshow DXVA than with ffdshow "only". The green and red lines are parallels in both cases but the green line is more straight (less little waves) with ffdshow DXVA.
Thanks
