XBMC does NOT use EVR.

HexusOdy Wrote:It definately does something. Vista without Aero tears and with Aero its gone. Aero turns on EVR that fixes the problem.
Azido, have you tried turning off Vsync in XBMC and turning Vsync on for all apps in Catalyst CC? I've read that works for numerous ATI users.

azido Wrote:why is it so hard to accept that there can be an additional renderer (called EVR) to render anything that's displayed (no matter where it comes from) when aero is turned on? in my understanding, as soon as you activate aero, your whole display is rendered with directshow/direct3d. why shouldn't this affect underlying renderers? is there any law there can be only one renderer/filter/whatever to display video content and no further post-processing is possible?First, I have an 8800GT, so I could try the version HexusOdy mentions.
also no offense, just thinking.
HexusOdy Wrote:OK I can confirm that this problem first appeared in rev 16051. All versions before that don't have tearing.
What we could do with testing is another VGA card other than Intel. Anyone here got an ATI or Nvidia they can test it on?
Both 16050 and 16051 are on Jesters SVN build site.
The reason it needs testing is I think there are at least 2 bugs with Vsync, maybe 3. One in XBMC created in 16051, possibly a seperate one for ATI users thats a driver issue and maybe more, who knows.
Thats why it needs some testing on an Nvidia and ATI cards

Quote:I don't know if this makes a difference and maybe Azido could try it and see if it does, but I use Omega drivers which are custom drivers. Might be worth a shot for someone.
