Hi, something weird is happening here since I installed beta20. Randomly the image freezes and the audio begins to loop, just the second of the audio that was being played loops for 3 or 4 seconds and then the audio continues normally, but image keeps frozen. You can even stop the movie, you can try and come back to Basichome and you hear the sounds and noises you'd expect to hear, but still you'll keep watching that last frame frozen on screen. All that I can do then is killing the MP process and then get back. I can't tell you anything else to reproduce it because it happens really randomly so I can't trace what leads to it... after reloading MP I try to get to the same point in the movie but now it works properly. Freezing happens always at different and random points of the movie. Any ideas ?
BTW, I've changed a little bit my config, now I own an ATI HD4350 with Catalyst 9.10, but it also happened with my previous 3450 card... I've waited to tell until I was sure it wasn't something I could trace in my computer, so I had time to even change my video card

Hi,
I had exactly the same (also before beta 20 btw) problem. After referring back to Beta 1.1 (no svn releases anymore) and using Catalyst 9.5 the problem seems to be solved so far. I would start with downgrading Catalyst to 9.5.

No, but it shows a different behaviour. I installed SAF beta20, so MS DMO is deactivated. If I try to get a video to play in OnlineVideos (MyTrailers doesn't work at all, don't know why) the Message "unable to play xyz.wmv" pops up. If I try using MPC HC in Windows with the same configuration it plays the first picture and second of sound from the video, then freezes. (Graphstudio shows no graph when connecting to remote). I configured all wmv related codecs to be decoded by ffdshow, but that didn't help either.
Activating DMO shows the video only in a preview window which flickers and shows up in a screencorner too.
@Hoborg: Did you get WMV to work with Windows 7 ? Could you please post your settings (Preferably in the first post as this thread gets longer and longer)
EDIT: Fiddled with the settings some more, I get the correct graph now in Graphstudio if I render the file directly, it even plays in graphstudio but not in MPC-HC or MediaPortal
EDIT2: OK got it working, idiotic error from me by not adding .wmv to list of playable files in MP config, sorry -.-

I don't think the problem is the AVI format. My second computer that has the same version of SAF and MediaPortal installed can play all the video files fine. That coupled with the fact that all videos play fine in MPC-HC, really has me grasping at straws to find a solution. Maybe I should uninstall MediaPortal and SAF and try again. Also, if I change to Enhanced Video Renderer, then all the AVI files play fine. However, this causes the playback of HD videos to become choppy. So it's not a workable solution. Thanks for the help.
*EDIT - I went ahead and used MKVmerge to convert an AVI that wasn't working to MKV and the problem persists. The MKV I created this way plays fine on my second computer.
***EDIT AGAIN****
I installed new drivers for my HD 3200 and that fixed everything. The reason I didn't do this in the first place is that the last time I tried to install new drivers the drivers from the ATI website BSOD'd my computer. I then went on to read somewhere that I had to use the drivers from Gigabyte, since I had an HD 3200, which is integrated into the motherboard. Gigabyte hasn't updated their drivers in a while, so I gave the new ATI drivers a shot and it worked.
Anyone tried ATI CCC 9.11 yet?
Guys - you just have to read Hoborg's first post - the bit where it says -MPEG2/h.264 LiveTV (and DVD's will be using DXVA only when you use *unlocked* SAF (PM me how to unlock SAF)

Hoborg,
Please add me to the list requesting instructions on how to unlock saf.
Thanks.
Omg...the post just above the one you wrote explains how to get it unlocked. Guess people are more or less blind in here...
