Problems with MC TV
« on: August 22, 2004, 12:57:24 pm »

Hi;

I have been having some long-term, on-going problems with MC TV...

Boot up to wrong channel sound...

Each time I boot Win XP, MC will load the TV (as I want) but it will always have the sound from channel 2 no matter which channel the image is actually on.

* If I delete VideoSVideo under the sort button, then re-load the TV, it will then come up with the correct sound for the current channel and will continue to load the correct channel sound for the current Windows session.

* The wrong channel sound only happens after a Windows XP boot.

* Have been having this problem for the last 20 or so builds.

* The ATI TV tuner does not have this problem; it seems to be unique to MC TV.  The ATI TV tuner always boots up to the last channel viewed; MC TV does not (always channel 2 sound for the first loading after booting the computer).

Error Messages...

* Sometimes the TV will not load, a message will pop up saying "Cannot load video capture filter"

* Other times the TV will not load, a message will pop up saying "Preview Graph has not been built" whatever that is.

* I have never seen the "Preview Graph has not been built" message with the ATI TV viewer; this seems to be unique to MC TV as the ATI TV does not do it..

Crop Edges is not working with ATI's A-I-W 9600 Pro video card...

* When Crop Edges is turned on, all TV becomes very jerky.

* This seems to be a problem with all of the latest versions of ATI's Catalyst video software as it was ok many Catalyst versions back.

* This problem is unique to MC TV as the ATI TV does not do it.

Maximize TV window, only the top left ¼ of the TV screen is showing...

About 2/3's of the time (or so) when I double-click on the TV window to maximize it, only the top left ¼ of the TV screen is showing in the top left corner of my monitor; the rest of the window is completely missing.

* I can double-click on it again & it will reduce back almost to the original size with the complete TV image visible; however the window is not the same as it was before I tried to maximize it... the bottom of the window has moved up about ½ inch, the rest of the window is where it was before the maximize attempt.

* I will then double-click on it again but it still will only show the top left ¼ corner of the TV screen with the rest of the TV screen missing.

* The only way I can get the full-screen TV back to a normal complete image is to close down MC & re-load it, the problem will most often (but not always) go away for that session; it will most often (but not always) return in the next Win XP boot up..  

* Also note that this only happens when the TV is in a window & not attached to MC.  

* This problem is unique to MC TV as the ATI TV does not do it.
