Incremental Updates with MVP

[ACTCMS]

I have 'Use incremental screen updates' on the MVP & NMT tab set to on and I'm using 1.3.11 with the mvpmc dongle (2008-04-05) on a wired MVP.

When I use the new CS-SD skin, I get bad 'jittering' on any screen except watching TV or Video. By 'jittering' I mean that the image on the screen moves rapidly up and down by approx 3-5% of the screen height - there is no horizontal movement. I don't see this problem on Blue, Slick or Blue-Retro-SHV.

So I did a test... for both Blue and CS-SD in turn...

Start MVP - Main Menu appears with no jitter
after about 10 seconds, I pressed the Up key - jittering starts
after another 10 seconds or so, I pressed the Down key - jittering continues
about 10 seconds later I powered down the MVP with the green button

Also if I start the MVP with CS-SD and leave it at the Main Menu, it starts jittering on its own after 15-20 seconds.

In the CS-SD log I see

Code:

WARNING [6] Caught unexpected error in: prepareMVPFrame()

Could it be a bad connection problem (CS-SD does seem to send a lot more data than Blue)...

I'm not even sure if Incremental Updates is recommended for the MVP...

Incremental updates was designed for the Popcorn Hour. I've not tested it for compatibility wth the MVP, so I dont recommend you use it.

Based on Jaggy's comments mvpmc probably only works if the x/y offsets are 0,0 I doubt if I will spend much time looking into fixing it.

Thanks for clearing that up - I only need it for testing, so I'll just switch it on when I need it.
