Very slow framerate with Reclock?

[tputkonen]

I reinstalled XP with MediaPortal 1.0.2, and changed my old CRT to an LCD TV.

If I play back 24p video with Reclock using 720p50, the frame rate is really slow, MediaPortal reports it at near 16 fps. This happens with both EVR and VMR9. Without Reclock the video plays at normal speed. What could be wrong?

I use integrated ATI 780G display adapter.

Log attached.

What framerate does ReClock detect? 78Hz? Is it really supposed to be 50Hz?

Running XP? Try to add /USEPMTIMER to boot.ini, this has been discussed here many times.

Thanks, I have never added that manually, but I had installed AMD CPU driver which did the trick.

Now the video playback speed is not slow, but Reclock still claims that the display is at 78 Hz, even though it really is 50 Hz. (If I change to 720P60 then reclock recognizes it fine.) Any idea what could cause this issue?

But this has *not* been installed when you created the log....???

You must clear your timings cache in reclock settings for the change to take full effect.
Please do this and try again.

Thanks, now it works!

A suggestion: would it be possible to set up a wiki page were all us users could write this kind of FAQs? Main Reclock thread is now almost 3500 messages!

I already offered to help with a manual.

Sketch out a brief overview and I'll fill it out as best as I can. (I can't do all of it, but I might be able to get through the bulk of the easy stuff).
