Starting from 0.2.3.0 RC2 SVN (don't know which one) I get stutter in TV (internal TV engine) after coming back from hibernate. This didn't happen with RC2, only after applying SVN and the problem persists in RC3. The problem only happens if I don't use DirectX Exclusive mode, with exclusive mode playback is fine after hibernate. But then I can't access anything else because Media Portal sits always on top of everything else.
I tried upgrading to Catalyst 7.10, but same thing. Then wen't back to 7.4 because I don't want to add a new variable to the mix, and I've extensively tested 7.4 already. Something related to DirectX must have been changed that triggers this behavior.
When I resume from hbernate and go to my TV, if I enable the frame rate indicator, it shows that a lot of frames are being dropped. Instead of the 50 fps that I should be getting with Bob deinterlacing, I'm getting less than 23 fps. Closing and reopening Media Portal is enough to get the normal frame rate. I'll post logs later.
