99.5 MultiDec makes playback choppy

[soccerdad]

Thanks for your great support on this. I will jump on this as soon as I get my new card. It may take a week or so depending what kind of customer service I get for my fried card.

Sorry I was not clear, now that I read it I am not even sure what I was trying to say:eek: To clarify my comment about the guide: When I am in GBPVR and go to the guide and select a channel to watch, I have only been successful having a channel start once or twice. If a channel does start and I close it and pick any other channel off of the guide, I get the error message. If I go back and pick the one that did start, it would usually start again. Could this be that it is timing out somehow while waiting for the signal processing to take place? Maybe the one channel processes faster and starts in time.

I think I have all the patches in place but will double check. Do you have the latest patch set in one place now(like the survival guide) or do I just pick the latest from the posts on that thread?

Last version doing this "correct" is v 1.3.8.

So 1.4.2 is a problem?

No, it shouldnt be anything like that. When you're back up and running, try those steps I mentioned above to produce a c:\psi.log and I'll take a look.

If you're a vplug user also try stevie77's suggestion of v1.3.8, since I've seen a couple of people mentioned this helped problems they were having.

No, that one linked above wasnt in the survival guide.

To make it short .... yes, it made troubles here. Even 1.5.0 stutters with this "collision" of DCWs.
Maybe if sub would fully integrate an MD-interface combined with an internal (ffde)CSA-modul ...

Well I've been fiddling around with my settings, and CPU load is only about 40-50%. Is it really a CPU load issue then with MDAPI plugins? Or should I check something else? ATI driver? Any suggestions of codec? I'm lost in space

[Stevie77]

There's a new version of vplug available. Version 1.5.2 works fine now. No more timing problems with dcw's anymore.

@patos:
What bda-muxers have you tried so far?

[patos]

I've tried:
Cyberlink
Microsoft DVR-MS
ATI MPEG Mux
Intervideo
SS
TS Mux
Transport Strem

Doesn't seem to matter wich one i choose.
Any suggestions wich one should work best for me?

A friend of mine tested on his PC a swell, (3GHz+) But got the same choppy result. If anyone got it to work well, I'd love to have the specs for his/her system.

Which ones do you have installed though? Whats the output of muxchecker?

You'd probably have to say which multidec plugins you're using, because they're all very different.

FYI: The latest Emunation seems to work now with Multidec. Need to set it up in another DVB application first as you can't get the setup menu to pop up within GB. Other than that it seems to work well and playback is very smooth.

Yankse and WinCSC also work very well. I'm using Yankse plugin with DVB-C in my "production" environment these days, having replaced my previous PVR500 + cable box + IR Blaster setup.
