Hi,

today I installed 1.4 pre-release on my htpc and everything works great.

My friend has the same htpc with the same configuration but after intsalling 1.4 TV was not working anymore. When I start TV with MediaPortal the Screen is black and nothing happens. MediaPortal itself works.

I also tried the debug Version without success. If I click on "preview" in the tv Server configuration everything works. Also Manual Control works.

I then downgraded to the previous Version and it is still not working :-( I did not Change anything else.

Íts a singleseat Installation.

Why is mediaportal not able to Show the tv anymore???

    Issue with your HDMI connection or audio renderer?

    There is definitely an audio related problem - listing of filters in the graph from evr.log:

    Code:
    18-05-2013 15:54:27.951 [7f4]Filter: Enhanced Video Renderer
    18-05-2013 15:54:27.951 [7f4]Filter: DirectSound: AMD HDMI Output (AMD High Definition Audio Device)
    18-05-2013 15:54:27.951 [7f4]Filter: LAV Video Decoder
    18-05-2013 15:54:27.951 [7f4]Filter: TsReader

    ...there is no audio decoder in the graph, but connection from TsReader.ax to the audio decoder was successful (from TsReader.log):

    Code:
    18-05-2013 15:54:26.743 [15001a90] [ 7f4] audPin:CompleteConnect() ok, filter: LAV Audio Decoder
    18-05-2013 15:54:26.756 [15001a90] [ 7f4] vidPin:CompleteConnect() ok, filter: LAV Video Decoder

    I'd check the LAV audio decoder settings, just in case something has been changed. Also try using a different audio decoder for TV, just to check.

    Thanks, I found the issue. Since 1.4 only the MediaPortal Audio Render can be used. I usually use "DirectSound: AMD HDMI....", because with the MP Audio Render the audio is very often asynchron.

    The full log is already attached to the first post ;-)
    There is no MP audio renderer log (tourettes is the AR developer/specialist). ;)
    In any case, seems even that log won't help... :(
