Performance of GUI much better when TV is on (1 Viewer)

[gibman]

I can confirm this.

Run MP, make sure no TV is autostarted.
in tvhome, enter the channels menu.
now scroll with arrow keys etc.
= slooooooooooow.

tune a channel and its fast again.

Explained in the first couple of posts

But those FPS settings didn't have anything to do with this problem am I correct?

I've red it but i cannot find it. I've no point screen in the mediaportal configuration

No, that setting won't get rid of the bad performance during animations, overlays etc. It will just let everything else appear more smooth, just like when TV is on (where 50 FPS are forced and stable).

Read again . It's not in the MediaPortal configuration. It's in the Settings inside MediaPortal.

Performance is still horrible in #19510. Only 7 to 8 FPS on my machine and the HTPC when an overlay is shown for example (like the MiniEPG), when no video is played.

I have this problem too, playing any video makes the menu fps rise and makes it more fluid.

If no video is playing the menus are like ~5fps.

I also have an additional problem, even with a video playing the menus jump like so:
Lets say im in the main menu with a video playing and there are 5 items in the menu
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and i have 3 selected.
I press down once to move from 3 to 4, but the animation actually moves from 1 to 4, it first jumps up and then smoothly scrolls down to 4.

In my case (using Radeon 3200):

The Gui is always as fast as the frame rate of the video. If you play a video with 50fps than the gui has 50fps (just press home after starting a video, you'll see the animation is much smoother). If you play a video with 30 fps, the gui has 30fps and so on...

It would be better if the gui frame rate is fixed and it should not be affected by the video frame rate. I think this also causes the flickering gui effect (DXVA-enabled codecs maxes out the gpu and the gui still wants to render at the same frame rate (50+), so it flickers if the gpu is not fast enough).

Everyone who is having slow GUI rendering (fps) when a dialog is open could you try following core.dll? Its based on SVN 19574.
