A little background. A few months ago I installed 1.2.9 which I am very satisfied with, with the exception of HD viewing. I have either some serious stuttering going on OR I get very pixelated video OR audio and video sync issues. I played around with many different audio and video codecs as well as a few different muxers. Always getting one of the above situations but never able to get acceptable results...again only with HD via a HD Homerun box.
A couple of days after 1.2.13 was released I tried an upgrade. I don't remember exactly what issues I had but I remember encountering several problems. I then uninstalled and did a fresh install of 1.2.9 and went back to my old problems with HD. Since then I really haven't had much time to try and fix these old problems and want to avoid any additional frustrations of trying to get 1.2.9 to work properly with HD.
It sounds as if most of the problems people were having with 1.2.13 have been fixed via some recommendations on threads on this forum...i.e. changing ".../settings/BDASubmitTuningRequestTwiceOnLivePreview : true" in the config file, among others.
So before I try to upgrade to 1.2.13 again, I want to know if most people are having good luck with this upgrade or are there still some glaring problems to be resolved?
Can I reasonably expect that some of my HD problems have been resolved in the latest and greatest release? From the sounds of it, this is the case.
I know that I need to backup my current config file but what else do I need to consider before attempting to upgrade again? Any way to keep my plug-ins and their settings intact?
