[QUOTE="kirk1, post: 882186, member: 69640"] Just checked on Moving Pictures and it doesn't get many dropped frames at all, watched for a few minutes and the drop frames count didn't move. It must have dropped a few when the file opened as it stayed at 10 the whole time. My issue appears to be strictly Live TV, but I can say the tweaks have made a lot of difference to the picture clarity and overall 'smoothness'. As I said though it is hard for me to tell how many dropped frames I am getting from within media portal as any overlay (including the diagnostic tool) creates visible dropped frames. For now I am happy this is the best I have ever had my live tv or downloaded media look. If you know of any 3rd party software or if there is a log that will display dropped frames let me know I'd be more than happy to further investigate if your interested. Edit: Further investigation on the Live TV dropped frames, it's not the overlay it is anything in MediaPortal that is left open. For example if I go from Moving Pictures to Live TV using the Live TV button on my remote I will get dropped frames. If I go to live TV via the MediaPortal menu (closing Moving Pictures) I don't get visable dropped frames. A bit off topic but seeing I mentioned it earlier ;) [/QUOTE]
