    Video problem

    Hello to all.

    After image upgrade from 5.2.032 to 5.2.034 I lost possibility to watching video files .
    I have plenty mp4 files with video music and movies which worked fine on 5.2.032 image.
    The problem is when i play video file (mp4) I can hear only sound but no picture , whats more confusing i can see osd menu
    and time elapsing etc. but no video from file just sound.

    my current settings for video output is HDMI 1080p 50Hz
    but noticed when change it to 1080i 50Hz video files playing without problem
    as I said before upgrade to 5.2.034 everything was fine .

    I enabled debug log with resolution set to 1080p 50Hz played video file ( no picture ) then changed resolution to 1080i 50Hz ( picture ok )
    Can I ask You guys to have a look at it as I cant see any clues in it .
    Thank You

    Same files on TM nano se on latest 5.2.034 working ok no matter what resolution I set.

    There was a recent driver change. Probably what caused it

    5.2.032 is the obvious answer.

    Which oscam version are you using? Please check version in oscam interface
    Where are your config files located?

    Thank You , moving configs to /etc/tuxbox/config solved problem with SoftcamCheck Error.

    Video problem still exist with small change
    If I play some video files there is no picture only sound
    then I press stop and play again and picture comes back ( sometimes straight sometimes after few secconds )
    then I press stop and play again and no picture only sound
    then I press stop and play again and picture comes back ( sometimes straight sometimes after few secconds )

    reverting image back to 5.2.032 everything is ok

    It looks like 5.2.034 - 5.2.035 have some problem with 1080p resolution. ( 1080i works ok )


    Is there any other place to report problem with it ?

    Thank You

    Video problem

    I understood your report to say playback of video files was fine before driver update. I presume you are testing the same files.

    It does not help mentioning another receiver. When identifying/confirming a problem, you must not add other variables.

    Please add comments on link below or phone Technomate directly. They have generally been boring last few years, in the sense that their receivers just work. I am sure they will resolve issue once they confirm it.

    Update.

    Flashed image 5.2.040 and it looks like problem with blank screen in playing video files is sorted ( output resolution is set to 1080p )

    But new image and new problem appeared ( no matter what resolution and refresh is set problem exist )
    Watching live tv picture is ok
    Choosing channel list there is picture preview and in 5.2.040 seems to be problem with it ,
    live tv on preview looks like ghosting ( sometimes flickering / sometimes looks like old 8bit pictures ) on full screen no problem picture is ok.
    Whats more tricky same video preview of files stored on hdd working ok ( no ghosting or flickering )
    But recordings of life tv behave same like live tv ( they ghosting on preview window )

    Its very difficult for me to describe this problem so I am attaching 2 pictures from web interface ( but no problem is showing this way )
    and 1 picture from mobile phone showing how it looks on tv .

    Full screen = no problem
    Did try default skin = problem exist
    Different resolution and refresh = problem exist
    Flashing image 5.2.039 and lower = no problem ( but old problem return with 1080p )
