Playing problems in RC1: TV, radio, AVI, DXVA (1 Viewer)

[-Manfred-]

If you have had some playing problems please try this dll before posting bug report. This has some adjustments how graph is created for TV, radio and movies player. DVD player will stay untouched.

Background for change:
We are going from manual pin connection to automatic render method where DirectShow will take care of connecting or rejecting filters through the chain. So in some cases you might end up with graph that has different filter connected than user wanted but that is exactly the same way it worked in MP1.0.2. Current RC1 method is more precise but can not be trusted unfortunately as seen from reports. Anyway we still try to use user selected filters based on content (mpeg2, H264, AAC etc.) which was missing previously.

This will fix issues seen at forum:
- no audio for radio
- non-DXVA filter fallback
- AVI playing with splitters
- forced CC
- audiodualmono only working after first channel change
- maybe also Dscaler issues

You should use this thread to post playing problems if this new dll is in use. Thanks for helping out towards better RC2.

EDIT: new version where post RC1 commits reverted. Should fix resuming.

It seems that this version solves my problem regarding zapping from SD to HD.

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-1-0-rc-1-496/sd-hd-zapping-coreavc-video-hang-78074/

I'll look at the behaviour in the next hours ...

Thx,

hey -manfred-,

I tried your "new" core.dll more out of fun, but it's awesome! My dev computer has a NVIDIA 8300 onboard and had real bad playback. But with this dll it runs like hell...! It's really amazing! Tomorrow I will test in my living room on my ATOM ION.

This really improves the playback!

(and on every of my samples, the codecs I configured are used )

EDIT:
tested SD-LiveTV and 1080p, 1080i, 720p, PAL, 1:1 ratio of fps/Hz and 1:2

-manfred-,

installed this core.dll on my ATOM 330 ION system, playback is very smooth like OnkelChris ^^; before i need to overclock my system to improve fps; now steady 50fps and very smooth!

Works great. Big improvement!

I tried the core.dll on my ATOM 330 ION but HDTV is still very choppy - HD video is not a problem but it wasn't a problem before either

Great fix!
Seams to solved a strange green overlay that I had after jumping in .ts files.

Works really well for me - live ATSC hdtv had been really bad, its now much much better. Still dropping frames, but I think that might be my system limitations rather than MP. Only really noticeable on fast moving images anyway (such as Olympic speed skating or luge - talk about perfect test material)

Can anyone point me to a guide of what the onscreen graph means? Act. frame time, raster offset, etc...if I knew what they meant, I might be able to fix my problem.

Thanks!

Very nice. Fixed my non-DXVA fallback problem.

This has fixed my issue with radio not playing, and channel changes on my client PC are now *super* fast. Thanks!
