Thema: SmartDVB 0.2.5 RC 1

[Snoop]

Now I tried different video rendering modes:
No matter if I use EVR, VMR 9 or overlay - I have flickering in HD fta with all my codecs (don't know, why it worked once before with this build and ffdshow ):
ffdshow 1.1.3882
CoreAVC 3.0.1
PDVD10
Elecard AVC

ok thanks. I've not replied before as i've been spending the time i have on coding as there were problems. I also had those pic stability issues, just had not tested picture stability while changing stuff for tbs. For one i think making the app work with tbs cards required making things more robust but these changes can also cause slowdowns, so maybe a special version for tbs cards or option in the app, dunno yet, because  before smart didn't seem to have these issues with other cards (or maybe smart did with other cards that didn't work correctly, not much have been tested with latest builds ofcourse, don't like to make smart slower/more problematic just for tbs card changes).

@silencer: that flickering on vmr9 is intentional for now (needed to remove black borders on aspect changes with vmr9 in the past).
I'll fix the mouse issues with vmr9 (and rest of app hopefully, need to rework some things i did quickly in the past)  for the next test, also the clicks prob, just give me some time :-)

@snoop: can you try using the old bdas.dev device (if that works for you?) and see if that gives more stable picture?

I hope to get the next test there tomorrow with a good link this time :-)

grts..

for the next test, also the clicks prob, just give me some time :-)

no problem

Beats me ... just started up SmartDVB and have no issues with HD channels ... no flicker ... nothing! The only thing I changed is from AERO to Basic in Windows 7 ...

[SiLæncer]

i don´t have this issue ...but this should depends on graphics card and driver ...


Here are the results (XP SP 3) for the latest (updated) beta ...

in use of vmr 9 : the mouse arrow is fine now when entering the menus, when i try to use multimon in use of vmr 9 ... the decidebuffer error is back (doesn´t checked this atm on pc 2)...after click ´ok´ and reload channel ..it works fine ...

in use of evr : no flickering on channel change, mouse arrow in menus is fine too ...also in use of the floating menu, multimon works fine


general : EPG is fine, no scanning issues (but i have only 19,2), recording looks good (checked with ProjectX) and UDP streaming looks good also ...

sorry for the delay guys. But having issues after last updates, especially on windows xp so trying to solve those.
@snoop: how odd, don't use aero myself (also basic win 7) but maybe good to test areo once in a while too ..
@silencer: still busy with the xp probs (best would be to setup a development environment on xp too to
quickly be able to debug these things)..

hi guys. Just sent a new test, if i've missed someone drop me a note. Tested some more on xp now and works okay for me at least (but when changing video renderers in the app it's best to restart i think there are some probs there still,but anyway, i'm going to get this out soon if this version turns out reasonable, it's still a beta after all :-)

thx jack

will try it tomorrow ...

[Snoop]

First Test running, no issues so far 

[SiLæncer]

Looks fine here too under XP

on pc 1 i get the decide buffer error again in use of vmr 9 ...but on my htpc not ...so i think we can ignore this if nobody else get it...

 

[jackjavo]

ok good to hear guys, maybe i can release this then finally even if there still are small things these might be ironed out in the final release. About your xp problems, could be some codec issue, but ur always very thorough so you probably tried various (if cyberlink?) or maybe reinstalled the codec?

jack

[SiLæncer]

Yes ...tried different codecs etc... makes no difference ,,,for me it looks like a directshow problem when using the vmr 9 renderer .. but i can´t locate it 

[jackjavo]

oh well we'll see if other users reports this then, i've put up the new beta 5 at the smartdvb.net site..

[SiLæncer]

i've put up the new beta 5 at the smartdvb.net site..

ok...i saw this also on the dvbsupport.net site

[jackjavo]

oh that's odd. I thought dvbsupport.net was down as i haven't been able to access it for a while from this pc??
