I recorded a HD channel and when I wanted to play it back it would only play the sound but have a black screen.
Found out that it had something to do with tsreader and ffdshow not working together correctly so I installed coreavc 1.8.5 and used that as the HD decoder for TV and left the decoder for hd movies on ffdshow.
That worked.
HOWEVER. From that moment on, if I play DVD movies that are stored on my HD (VIDEO_TS folders, not mounted iso's because I don't have those, I always unpack the iso's instead of mounting them) something strange happens. It freezes the screen every 1 or 2 seconds and sometimes after the freeze it plays back very quickly for a brief moment as to sort of catch up to where it was.
I removed CoreAVC from the system but the problem remains.
I've tried switching mpeg2 codecs to ffdshow and back to mpv etc. Reinstalled ffdshow, videocard driver, haali spitter etc but nothing seems to correct my problem.
Everything worked great before I installed coreavc
What are my options? Because I reaaally don't want to reinstall mediaportal and/or XP again
OH and another weird thing I found is that when I press shift+1 to get the statistics running, HD movies play with 24fps but DVD movies seem to play with 19 to 22 fps, whereas the dvd's I have itself are sure to be 24 and 25 fps. Almost as if it's playing at a little too slow fps rate and makes up for it by freezing and skipping to it and or speeding up a couple frames to catch up.
PS: as a sidenote, I'm using the moving-pictures 0.6.5 plugin to browse through my movie-collection. Don't know if that is of any relevance. I asume not since it's just a UI to start playing a movie, and besides that it all worked fine with that before I installed coreavc as well.
UPDATE: I just found out it only happens when my tv is on 24hz refresh rate. If the TV is on 25, 50 or 60 hz there is no problem, but then my HD movies @ 24fps are not as smooth as they can be, which sucks.
Strange thing though is that if my tv is on 24hz refresh rate and I play back the same movie with videolan, there is not a single problem at all, so why does this problem occur in mediaportal?
