Hi there,

I encountered this bug: When I start a video in Mediaportal (moving pictures), most of the times it wont start. The refresh rate changes but that's it. Black screen. I can see the haali icon and the coreavc icon (if I choose this decoder) and even sometimes the ffdshow audio decoder. Sometimes when it starts it starts in that little screen, and after pressing "fullscreen" it goes fullscreen.

In my video's I have a higher succes rate. but it will crash when I choose another video. I also tried to disable plugins and tried several codecs, but no solution.

In RC1 I had this problem also, but less often. In 1.02 this problem didn't occur. Reliable playback all the way.

So what could be the issue?

Make sure that the display modes you are using are all exactly the same with different refresh rates. MP GUI engine seems to reset itself (normal behavior when resolution changes). This is most likely the reason why you are seeing playback stopping.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. I also tried to disable the refreshrate changer. But with that disabled I get the same result. So that is not a solution. And I tried it with the same resoltion and different Hz, but also same result.

So I am the only one?

You would seem to be!

You could try posting logs with the refresh rate changer disabled, since with the logs you posted, everything points to this being the problem.

Hi CypherMK,

Not sure if it is related, but you might check it out https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-1-0-rc-versions-496/no-playback-no-errors-80957/

It could be. Will follow that thead also. See if they find a solution.

Your logs do not go far enough. They stop at the point where the useful info should be....

Also I do not believe this is directly related to the above thread (this file does not appear to be HD audio and graphs are created but not connected up)

Could you do gather logs again via log collector but actually ensure you leave it a bit longer after trying to play file and also close MP

Do you know about GraphEdit /GraphStudio? Would be most helpful if you could try and manually built the graph you are asking MP to build and see if that works

 

[CypherMK]

Here you are.

I disabled the refresh rate changer. File didn't play (of course). I kept seeing the media info in moving pictures when I started the movie, but the screen was a little bit dimmed. I could see the haali icon and the coreavc icon in the tray, but NO ffdshow audio icon.

i also tried to connect with graphedit at the time of crash, but that made graphedit crash also.

Hope it helps!
