Suddenly TV stops to work -> Black screen (urgent) (1 Viewer)

[Snoopy87]

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:

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):

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.

That's strange other audio renderer should work too !

Can you provide log files for @tourettes?

Logs wont help with the A/V sync trouble shooting. Specific HW and use cases are needed and then I'll need to be able to reproduce the issue.

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...

Since 1.4 only the MediaPortal Audio Render can be used.

I don't understand - I can choose from several audio renderers in my 1.4.0 installation (in MP config and MP settings section) ?
