Hello, I recently started working with media portal, it is an amazing software, but I am having speed issues.
well first my configuration...
( this is a dedicated PC besides my TV )
Intel Pentium Celeron 2.8 GHZ
Nvidia 8500 512 Ram. ( pcie )
HDD SATA 70 GB
Windows Vista Home Edition Premiere
1GB ram ( DDR2 533MHZ )
Capture Card: PCIE hauppage 2250 ( it even decodes QAM and all the cable channels )
remote: MCE ( works great also )
Monitor: 32 Inch LCD connected Via VGA cable.
SQL server: MYSQL 5.0 ( I decided to go with mysql because I tought it would be faster )
Screen Resolution ( 1024x768 @ 60 hz )
Logs: none ( there are no logs really everything that should work works FINE, just slow )
MP: 1.0 RC2
now ok here is my issue, I have been working with different media centers, yes I know... well with GBPVR, windows Media Center, Sage TV, etc. all of them are lacking the complete functionalty Media Portal gives so I decided to keep media portal after around 15 days of trying out all media center software that you can imagine.
as I stated before, everything works, Clear QAM channels, YES, Analog Cable Channels YES, recording YES, EPG, YES
but now here it is my issue, video playback is jerky filled with tearing, and right out skips, skip continue skip, ( audio and video stay in sync but they keep skipping ) when I ask for the TV guide it gets even slower, I mean SLOW to the point I have to reboot the PC. because it slows everything.
I tought well it has to be my TV input that is slowing things down, but I watched a DVD and still got the same slowness.
what puzzles me is that I have been reading all over and everywhere it seems to say that if I use the same codecs on MP I should get the same results but no... different results
I have tried to change all types of configurations, everywhere, even Nvidia Pure video, still slow. any tips or tricks
any gurus in here have that might help me ?
