I have two strange graphics problems with 1.0. The first is a set of 9 boxes that fly around the screen when using ffmpeg as the video codec, the second is vertical lines around text within the mediaportal GUI. Following are the screenshots:

I've worked around the ffmpeg problem by using MPV but MPV has some serious tearing/deinterlacing issues with full quality MPEG2 streams from my tuner. ffmpeg worked fine under 0.2.2 and still works fine with VLC.

/Reposted since I realized this forum is probably better than the tv-server forum for these issues.

    1st one is most likely "caused" by Elecard MPEG2 codec that has run out of time.

    VLC uses its internal codecs so its not affected by directshow codecs.

    Thank you! After uninstalling Elcard I can once again use ffmpeg. I would say there is definitely an indexing bug for codecs with both ffmpeg and Elcard (expired?) installed since I am sure I was selecting ffmpeg as the codec but MP was apparently actually using the Elcard decoder.

    Oh, and I use ffmpeg for post processing in VLC which is why I mentioned it.
