Problems after installing latest SVN. (1 Viewer)

[nrg]

Hi,

I'm new to mediaPortal so here is my first cry for help.

I have installed the latest version of MediaPortal on my windows XP SP2 PC with PVR350 and all seems to work nicely. Picture quality is very good and I really enjoyed it. But as the freak that I am I downloaded the latest SVN build and installed like the documentation said. After the installation my TV screen has a very bad image quality. It's kinda shaky and the screen is build out of blocks. It's almost like you are watching satellite in a heavy storm.

I didn't make a backup of the files like mentioned in the documentation so I uninstalled MP and deleted the whole directory from PF dir. Afterward I installed MP again but the picutre quality was still the same.

Does anybody know whats going?

TIA,

-nrg

Hi,

I think the problem is, that MP does not set the bitrate settings for the PVR350 properly. You have to turn off quality control.
Configure->Television->Capture Cards->Edit (350)->Quality->Uncheck "Use Quality Control"

You have to set the bitrate with an external tool, like the Hauppauge Tweak Tool.

Thx for your reply's

Next time ill use the tool when reporting problems.

I got it working now again with the following steps:

In the start.bat file I changed all register lines to unregiter lines and run it in the MP dir. Atterwards uninstall and install MP again and all is fine.

I will try the SVN snapshot later again with the help of the post above to see if i can fix the issue.

Thanks again,
