Hi I'm getting flickering of the album art/visualization in MyMusic and MyMusic/Now Playing *after* visiting the MyTV screen. This problem may be related to:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mymusic_flickering_coverart_svn_07_02_27-t19969p2.html?highlight=flickering

To reproduce:
1. Start mp
2. Go to MyMusic (configured using BASS and Alchemy visualization)
3. Play song display should be fine
4. Switch to now playing display should be fine.
5. Stop playing.
6. Return to main menu
7. Switch to MyTV
8. Return to main menu
9. Go to MyMusic
10 . Play same song as before Now get flickering cover art and visualization in top right.
11. Switch to now playing. Get flickering cover art and visualization.


More info: Switching to full screen visualization gives a very flickery display. Using Alt+Enter to switch into and out of windowed mode seems to solve the problem...

Let me know if you need any more info.

Give SVN 13718 a try, I have had this problem with earlier SVns too, but it's gone with 13718

Please provide feedback on this.

Hi Guys,
I've just updated both mp and the TVServer to 13718. The problem is slightly different but still there. Basically I get the odd flicker when in the albums list display (I think the flicker may be when the "now playing" screen moves from album art to the visualization. However if you switch to a full screen visualization things are as bad as ever very flickery. As before switching to windowed mode and back clears the problem. One extra thing to note in my visualization config I have both "enable status display" and "show song info" set...

You may also want to take a look at

Which may be related (but different!).

Hope this helps

Restarted MP and followed the steps as described - it's reproducable.

rtv No unusual entries in the logs

Not sure if this is related but I've just ended up with the "MyTV" overlay (the "live" TV stream that normally appears in the TV screen on the right when in the MyTV page), overlayed over the top of the main window. I had been viewing MyTV and on switching back to the main menu page the MyTV overlay remained on screen covering up the main menu entries.... Not currently sure how to reproduce this though!

Have just tested this with 14038. Looks fixed to me.

Thanks

This still seems to be a problem, at least on both of my computers (both with the latest RC2 of MP). When switching to fullscreen visualization (key x), the screen flickers. If I run MP in window mode, everything seems to be ok.

I can confirm this also with 0.23 final + svn
