I received my "MPEG2" licence overnight.
Does this do anything for H.264 playback by the way? Some things I've read
are conflicting.
So I installed the licence, set the decoder to "OpenMAX" and added a rule IF
(<rez> > 0x0) -> HW Scaling.
In terms of playback of MPEG2 recordings (AFAIK all terrestrial TV in
Australia), it's flawless. Same as watching it on the BE+FE box.
The blank screen on jumping forwards & backwards (sometimes during editing
too)... this still happens.
The screen is definitely going out of sync. I know this because (a) it's
screen-off black, and (b) the monitor's [HDMI Input] banner came up one of
the times. I am using an old monitor (24" NEC) which was a quality monitor
when it was new. Furthermore this monitor exhibited no problems like this
before. But it Could Just Be Me.
Some other stuff I noticed just now:
If I playback "Big Buck Bunny" 4K 60fps version, I get an error "(X) Unable
to read first 2048 bytes". (The playback of this on my BE+FE is jerky, and
unwatchable, but it does play. FWIW: can anyone playback 4k content on any
hardware?)
When I play a letterboxed (top & bottom) video, the theme background does
not get cleared away.
cheers,
