Vista and EVR support (1 Viewer)

will keep an eye on the stuttering issue.

vuego, can you please upload some logs?

I did attach MediaPortal.log here. Do you need any other logs?

Thanks, it happened several times during the last days and usually MP crashes eventually. So I hope you can get that one fixed.

Have a look at "Got all Media". There isn't any stuttering playing DVD, MPEG2 or LiveTV!. You have to use Vista with Aero enabled and EVR as renderer. I have set the graphic clock to 75 Hz. There must be a way to get the same prof. earnings in Mediaportal. Regards, hegi

I want to call your attention on this topic:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/different_renderers_sd_and_hd-t30051.html
I created for my personal situation, but now can be off topic on the other thread and more in topic here...
If anybody has a suggestion...

sven,

can you use the attached version and try to reproduce the problem? this version generates rather excessive debug output about frame timings and stuff like that. maybe i can learn something more about your problem this way. be aware that the vmr9.log may get large though.

I have been reading through these pages, but am a bit confused.

Could anybody explain (in detail) how to use EVR @ XP? (What needs/should be installed etc.).

Perhaps include it in wiki, or make a thread here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/codecs_external_players-f55.html

you just need to install .net 3 runtime. but i don't think it is a good idea, because picture quality is worse on XP with EVR, because you won't get any hardware acceleration. it won't get you tear-free video or any other benefits either. the only thing i can think of that is better is the better handling of colorspaces, but i haven't compared that myself yet.

Have not too many great things from changing to Vista, from XP Pro, but EVR seems to be one of the major improvements over XP Pro.

Never needed "use exclusive DirectX" for VMR9 as never had a problem (so i thought), but EVR output far superior across the board, and less CPU and memory intensive than anything used previously.

Would really like this ported for full MP use with XP as well, if M$ allowed.

Thanks Eabin for your hard work with this, not a easy task.

Regards

i got one more build for you to test tonight. this one is slightly experimental, and meant for those of you who have problems with smoothness. it is not much different from previous builds, mostly i increased the priority of the renderer thread to realtime. this may have unknown side-effects, so please test and tell me if there are any problems with it (or even better - if it fixes any of your issues).
