[QUOTE="Larzon, post: 643021, member: 101335"] [b]Re: SAF v5.00 experimental (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder)[/b] SAF V5 fixed my DVD playback problem by using the FFDSHOW codecs. However, now I'm struggling to get FFDSHOW to handle live or recorded TV. Codecs in MediaPortal are setup according to post #1. The problem is playing .ts files. Programs broadcast in 1080 are very choppy and the picture lags behind the sound substantially. Playback of 720 content seems to be OK. I know that Hoborg discourages the use of MPC-MPEG-2 (Gabest) due to certain problems, so much so that the SAF installer actually unregisters MPC-MPEG-2. If I manually re-register the codec, MPC-MPEG-2 provides very good playback of .ts files on my system, and I've not run into problems (yet?). (Codec file = Mpeg2DecFilter.ax in MediaPortal folder.) So after re-registering MPC-MPEG-2 and telling MePo to use it for TV, I have a system that (finally!) plays DVDs (via FFDSHOW) and .ts files (via MPC-MPEG-2). Yes, a sane person would simply stop there, but the very fact that I continue to use MediaPortal after two years should be evidence enough to put me in a padded cell. ;) For troubleshooting FFDSHOW I'm testing only in [B]GraphStudio[/B]. Rendering .ts in GraphStudio gives the identical problem. I've tried changing various settings in FFDSHOW Video, but the solution eludes me. I've just installed svn 100730 (still hot from the oven) and the problem persists. Setup is: 1. Windows XP Pro (up to date) 2. NVIDIA GeForce 9400 (integrated) - driver 182.50 (AKA version 6.14.11.8250 date 3-27-2009) 3. Realtek HD Audio (integrated) - driver R2.48 (AKA version 5.10.0.6101 date 4-30-2010) - using analog line out 4. MediaPortal 1.1.0 final 5. SAF V5 unlocked svn 100730 - default settings 6. HDMI connection to LCD monitor. A .ts file rendered in GraphStudio gives the expected graph, Filename.ts....video --> ffdshow Video Decoder --> Video Mixing Renderer 9 .....................audio --> ffdshow Audio Decoder --> Default Direct Sound Device Looking at processes in the Task Manager, GraphStudio.exe uses 35-45% CPU during playback of a 1080 file. No other processes are taking up the CPU. Now, if I simply edit the graph by replacing the [I]FFDSHOW Video[/I] with [I]MPC-MPEG-2 (Gabest)[/I], the file plays just fine, and GraphStudio.exe uses 20-30% CPU. How do I get FFDSHOW to play .ts files? [/QUOTE]
