1.2a - 2 PIP windows - freezing

Postby Dreamer » Wed Sep 13, 2006 10:37 am

- switch to Deluxe Music
- open 2 PIP windows (GIGA and imusic tv)
= DD is freezing - main window and both PIP windows

Tested with ATI, Sonic, nVidia, Audio-Intervideo, ffdshow, Overlay, VMR9 renderers, removed all files inside PIP01 and PIP02... CPU usage is 5-20%.

CHANNEL
Name: "DELUXE MUSIC" Provider: "BetaDigital"
TRANSPONDER
12460000, H, 27500000 QPSK
Satellite: 0192 - Astra 1A-H, 2C
Signal Level:66% Quality:87%


- - - - -

- switch to VIVA
- open 1 PIP window (MTV Germany)
= DD is freezing - main window and PIP window

CHANNEL
Name: "VIVA" Provider: "MTV Networks"
TRANSPONDER
11973000, V, 27500000 QPSK FEC 3/4
Satellite: 0192 - Astra 1A-H, 2C

Also here (2 PIP windows)

CHANNEL

TRANSPONDER
11954000, H, 27500000 QPSK FEC 3/4
Satellite: 0192 - Astra 1A-H, 2C

And here (13E, 2 PIP windows)

CHANNEL

TRANSPONDER
11623000, V, 27500000 QPSK

Signal Level:63% Quality:71%


I tried also - restart, clean reinstall ( - to new folder, new ch. list, new settings...).

- - - - - - - - - -

- if you have ATI card, try to use Catalyst drivers version 6.8 (latest) if possible
- use nVidia codec and VMR9
- restart pc
- start DD
- switch to Deluxe Music or any other channel
- open 2 PIP windows (GIGA and imusic tv or any others)
= DD is NOT freezing, even with 4 PIP windows!!
- close all PIP windows
- close DD
- start DD
- open 2 PIP windows (GIGA and imusic tv or any others)
= DD is freezing - main window and both PIP windows

- - - - - - - - - -

Again, I have NO freezing, even if I close and re-open DD, even with 4 PIP windows, on these channels:

CHANNEL
Name: "RAI1" Provider: "RAI"
TRANSPONDER
11766000, V, 27500000 QPSK
Satellite: 0130 - Hotbird 1-5

CHANNEL
Name: "RAI 1" Provider: "CANALSATELLITE"
TRANSPONDER
11568000, V, 22000000 QPSK
Satellite: 0192 - Astra 1A-H, 2C
Signal Level:81% Quality:100%


I have always freezing, even with 2 PIP windows on these channels:

CHANNEL
Name: "RTL 102.5 TV" Provider: "GLOBECAST ITALIA"
TRANSPONDER
11623000, V, 27500000 QPSK

TRANSPONDER
11954000, H, 27500000 QPSK FEC 3/4

Also, if I close 1 PIP window, freezing's gone immediatelly.

This post is long, because it's a copy of few posts from beta testers forum, I'll change a color of channels without freezing to blue and with the freezing to red to make it clearer.

Hardware: AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 1GB RAM, ATI RX800 256MB, SB Audigy 2 Value, SkyStar 2 r2.3, Dish-Offset 120cm...
Software: Windows XP SP2, DirectX 9.0c, ATI Catalyst Driver 6.8, TechniSat DVB 4.4.0, Abakt, avast! Antivirus, Avant Browser, DVB Dream, FFDShow, Free Download Manager, freeCommander, HotkeyP, Kerio Personal Firewall, Media Player Classic, Nero, OpenOffice.org, Orca Browser, Photofiltre, PTBSync, Skype, Spybot, Trillian, Xnview, ZipGenius...

It's a Full TS mode, if enabled, it works good - 10 PIP windows tested, no freezing!

There are some scan problems with Full TS mode enabled, but most important is that it works good again.

If you want to test, use my settings file, disable Full TS mode, restart DD and try "red" channels above.
