[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1038729, member: 18896"] I update LAV and MediaInfo as often as I can/want, so I'm on version v0.7.64 on MediaInfo and v0.59.1 on LAV. These are both versions not available yet for MediaPortal if you rely on MePo/MPEI updates. Of course the respective changelog might show that issues have been fixed that would not be a problem for you to begin with, but updating is extremly easy so I do it anyway. No matter how easy LAV is, it is still not a very friendly codec. I found this out due to concurrent RDP usage. The HTPC in the livingroom is one of the best systems I have in my network, so for it to go unused on the extra power is a shame. So while the wife is watching her TV shows, I can use the spare power to do other stuff, such as development in Visual Studio for IMDb+. Of course it is also an easy way to manage the collection itself, move files over, rename/etc. However once I switched from MPC-HC standalone filters to LAV I noticed a terrible side effect. The moment I would use the LAV codec inside concurrent RDP, then MediaPortal in the livingroom would start to skip/stutter/delay/etc. This was never a problem with MPC-HC, infact I could play the same video at a different point inside the RDP window without a problem. As to the exact technical reasons, if it is the splitter, or the video codec, or the audio codec, I've stopped caring. The purpose of watching a video inside an RDP window is rediculous, as I can watch them directly via the SMB shares. Still it underlines the issues LAV codec can add. And MediaPortal accesses the media (which then kicks in LAV splitter/codec) via multiple different means either direct for playback, or indirect for thumbnail generation, mediainfo, etc. [/QUOTE]
