Hi everyone, first I would just like to say thanks to all the good people making Mediaportal. It's become an amazing piece of software.
My reason for this post is this:
After upgrading from RC1 to RC4 my ts files and live tv would no longer play. The format is Norwegian DVB-T (H.264 video).
Workaround:
I found that the video pin from Mediaportal file reader would no longer connect to my coreavc decoder input video pin. I worked around this by reverting to the tsreader.ax file from Mediaportal RC1 release. Then everything works flawlessly as far as I've seen.
Today I started thinking more about this, and found that there was a new CoreAVC version out (1.8.5), so I installed that one and put back tsreader.ax, RC4 version. Now the video pins in the graph connect and I can play the recorded ts files from graphedit, but when I try to start MP, it hangs with the text "initializing directx" on the splash screen. If I press Ctrl + Alt + Delete a couple of times it continues loading and TV playing works fine. I assume this is related to the issue reported in this thread, so I don't blame Mediaportal for this.
Anyway I've gone back to using my workaround with old tsreader.ax, so this is no biggie for me, just thought I might post it here in case anyone else has the same problem, or some developer wants to look into it.
I've attached the log files from when the file reader from RC4 and CoreAVC version 1.6.0.0 would not connect. If anyone is interested I can provide log files from the "directx hang" too.
