Takes long time till TV starts on screen - Audio starts normal.... (2 Viewers)

[joEhSuper]

Hi!
This happens since MP 1.13.0 (with 1.12.0 everything was fine)
Strange very strange...
First issue
Here is what I did:

• Start MP
• Start TV -> Playback of TV-Video and TV-Audio starts at the same time after about 3 seconds --> This is normal
  
• go back to basic home screen
  
• Stop TV playback
• Start TV --> I can hear audio as before after about 3 seconds but screen freezes = stays on Basic Home
  
• Playback of video starts after about 24 Seconds! --> This is not normal

From now on everytime I stop TV and then Start it again --> audio starts normal but video takes very long time
Time fpr Channel changing is OK.

Second Issue: (not that important)
This only happensone time after (Re)Starting TV

• Start TV
• Channel up --> jumps up 4 Channels not 1
  In the log this is from "ORF eins HD" to "arte HD" and not "ORF2-St HD

Hello

For the first issue...
I think the cause is that you're using VMR 9:
[2015-12-31 10:58:06,228] [Log ] [MPMain ] [INFO ] - VMR9: added Video Mixing Renderer 9 to graph

Enhanced video renderer (EVR) is recommended for Vista or newer:

For the second issue...
I don't understand your example. It looks like you were viewing ORF 2-St HD:
[2015-12-31 10:57:05,582] [Log ] [MPMain ] [INFO ] - TVHome.ViewChannelAndCheck(): View channel=ORF 2-St HD

...then you push the "channel up" button 3 times:

...so the result is exactly as expected.

Hi @mm1352000
Thanks for your quick reply!

Enhanced video renderer (EVR) is recommended for Vista or newer:
http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_...ration/9_Codecs_and_Renderer/3_Video_Renderer

Will check this and report....

...then you push the "channel up" button 3 times:

I swear I do push the Channel up button only once - And it only happens first time I enter TV but as I said - It#s a minor issue....[DOUBLEPOST=1451561970][/DOUBLEPOST]

var rm="read_more ...";var o="... Read Less";var adjustheight=20; Will check this and report....

Didn't make it better

 

[joEhSuper]

Any other hints on this Issue?

• Start MP
• Start TV -> Playback of TV-Video and TV-Audio starts at the same time after about 3 seconds --> This is normal attachFull173913
  
• go back to basic home screen
  
• Stop TV playback
• Start TV --> I can hear audio as before after about 3 seconds but screen freezes = stays on Basic Home attachFull173914
  
• Playback of video starts after about 24 Seconds! --> This is not normal attachFull173915

From now on everytime I stop TV and then Start it again --> audio starts normal but video takes very long time attachFull173916
Time for Channel changing is OK.

LOGS in first Post...

Meanwhile I recognised that the Problem appears also at Music Playback and Online Videos....

Music: I play a file --> OK --> while playback of first file I try to start another file --> playback starts but screen freezes again about 24 Seconds

Maybe it has something to do with this?

Can anybody tell me what this means: planesceneresentImage() frame:xxx enabled:True allowed:False

 

[mm1352000]

Yes, maybe. I already saw those in your first set of log files.

Can anybody tell me what this means: planesceneresentImage() frame:xxx enabled:True allowed:False

I'm not able to tell you.
...but the "allowed:False" part refers to "is video allowed".

Please can you provide new log files. The log files that you attached to your second reply are the same as the log files from the first post. In all cases VMR 9 is being used (which is not good).

Please have some patience - I have not forgotten you. When I have to look at code that I've never looked at before it takes longer to try to help.

...and unfortunately in this case I'm not able to understand what is going on, so I don't think I can help you. Sorry.
The last thing I can suggest that might help is to install the patch from the first post of this thread (Core.dll):
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...s-available-bin-to-test-in-first-post.133166/

Installation instructions are simply to replace the Core.dll file in your MP install folder (c:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal) with the one provided by Sebastiii. Don't forget to take a backup first (!!!).

@Owlsroost
Are you able to help with this one?

 

[joEhSuper]

Hi mm!
Thank you - didn't want to try to "speed you up"

The last thing I can suggest that might help is to install the patch from the first post of this thread (Core.dll):
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/t...s-available-bin-to-test-in-first-post.133166/

Will try this and report again
