Partial Picture on all HD Channels (1 Viewer)

[kimsy]

Hello,

When watching HD Channels in RC4 I only get a small part of the picture. Look like i only see the an upper left squeare of the whole picture,

the scren capture is from watching National Geographic HD, you can clearly see the logo filling most of the screen.

This also happened in RC3, but at random. All i had to then was to change to another channel and the change back. this approach does not work in RC4

Have you got the latest CoreAVC, as there have been some fixes regarding this.

I am using the latest CoveAVC 1.8.5 Pro and it only displays a small piece of the picture, this used to happen in a very early version of Mediaportal but has long sinced been fixed, now seems 'broken' again

I had this issue a while ago - turned out to be codec related.

I'm using avc core version 1.8.5

I had the same problem last week.
I did a new scan of the TV channels and the problem was gone.

Hello,

I tried to rescan my channels... it got better, works most of the time. But the problem stil occur, I don't recognize any common factor each time it occurs.

I am using Cyberlink H.264/AVC Decoder PDVD8.

I forgot to mention that I also did a new install of RC4 because in an other TV viewer (FireDTV) that came with my TV card (Floppy DVB-C) all HD channels were/are fine.

I tried using the newest version of FFDShow... It did not solve anything. this leads me to believe that the codec is not the problem.

I also tried using the Cyberlink H.264/AVC codec. Instead of partial picture i get no picture. by doing some channel shifting the bug disappears. The bug seem to appear everytime i start watching tv, regardless of codec. When i the bug i gone (due to channel shifting) it does not come back untill i restart mediaportal.
