Hi,
I'm having a problem with MediaPortal 1.1.0 RC1 playing back DVD's and I was hoping someone might be able to lend a hand?
What Doesn't Work
When playing a DVD (either physical or ripped to the harddrive) the DVD starts properly and shows the usual copyright notices, trailers, etc, however, if I press the Menu button on the remote then the audio for the Main Menu of the DVD starts but the picture is locked on whatever was on the screen at the time the Menu button was pressed. If I don't press the Menu button then when all the intros end and the Main Menu starts to appear the video starts jumping and the navigation buttons don't do anything. Eventually (whether I've pressed Menu or not) MediaPortal locks up. Occasionally pressing Stop will get me back into MP, sometimes I have to kill the app in Task Manager.
What Does Work
Playback of AVI/DIVX/MTS/etc and a very small handful of DVD's.
Everything else (TV, Music, etc)
My Background and PC Background
I've been successfuly using MP for over 4 years and ran the 8-Jan-10 SVN version for the last few weeks before installing RC1. I've not seen this problem before.
What Remedies Have I Tried
So basically I'm left toggling VMR9 and EVR to watch DVD or AVI/DIVX/MTS/etc.
Can anyone offer me any suggestions please? I've attached system spec's below and a log capture of one of the failed playbacks. To generate the log I performed the following actions:
Thanks for your help and thanks for all the efforts you put into this project.
Regards,
Jon

I've been successfuly using MP for over 4 years and ran the 8-Jan-10 SVN version for the last few weeks before installing RC1. I've not seen this problem before.
What Remedies Have I Tried
- Disabled all non-standard plugin's.
- Removed all Codec's and installed SAF v4.00 RC2
- Tried all the different codec's installed with SAF (PowerDVD9, etc) - problem stayed the same.
- Tried playback of DVD in Windows Media Centre 7 - worked fine.
- Tried playback of DVD in WMP - worked fine.
- Tried playback of DVD in MPC-HC - worked fine.
- Checked Graph - ffdshow definitely being used by MP.
- Tried turning off DXVA - no effect (not suprising as ffdshow doesn't use DXVA)
- Tried VRM9 - This FIXES the DVD problem, however it then breaks my AVI/DIVX/MTS/etc playback (audio works but video is blank)
So basically I'm left toggling VMR9 and EVR to watch DVD or AVI/DIVX/MTS/etc.
Can anyone offer me any suggestions please? I've attached system spec's below and a log capture of one of the failed playbacks. To generate the log I performed the following actions:
- Opened one of the problem DVD's.
- Waited for the trailers, etc.
- Pressed Menu.
- -- Video froze at this point but audio for the Main Menu started.
- Waited for the audio to freeze as well.
- Press Alt+F4.
- Generated the log.
Thanks for your help and thanks for all the efforts you put into this project.
