Synopsis:
I've been told that when timeshifting and recording MediaPortal goes into VMR9 Renderless Exclusive Mode as opposed to the regular VMR9 Renderless Mode.
I was just wondering if it might be possible to add an option to always run in exclusive mode in a future release or if there is some tweak or plugin I can apply to make this happen.
The reason I'm asking is becase I get terrible tearing in MediaPortal. (I don't get this in any other apps no matter what res, refreshrate, codec, renderer etc. I use so it is not in any way related to any option or configuration issue like many posts here on this forum would suggest.)
But when I start timeshift or recording the tearing instantly goes away providing a perfectly stable picture.
I've tried some tweaking with the SHIFT+1 command.
When not TS/recording I get about 40 fps and loads of tearing, yet it says "sync = 1", when TS7recording I get a constant 25 fps no tearing whatsoever and sync is 0.
Now ofcourse I can cure my tearing problems by TS/rrecording so it's not the end of the world but problem is MP, channel changing etc. gets very unresponsive when having TS active.
So I guess, if what I've heard is true, the renderer goes into exclusive mode when recording or timeshifting which will make the tearing go away it this is the case a simple toggle for "always use exclusive mode" would solve all the tearing problems I, and probably a lot of other people, have.
Thanks for any input.
