MrMC

Sorry for posting this so late, but Shield TV 7.2 just destroyed MrMC completely on my 4k TV and I also had some annoying issues on 7.1. :/ I am running the current public MrMC 3.7-1 beta.

Context: Shield TV Pro 2015 UHD 59.94 YUV 420 10 bit Rec 2020 connected through Marantz SR5010 to Samsung 4k HU8500 running the SEk3500 Evolution Kit.

1. Since 3.7 (was working without any problem in 3.6): permanent artifacts in German 1080p50 HEVC DVB-T2 HD content streamed from tvheadend as soon as "MediaCodec (Surface)" HW acceleration is enabled. Only using the other "MediaCodec" HW acceleration works perfectly but disables HDR :/ Permanent block artifacts and out of sync audio.

2. Since the Nvidia Shield TV 7.2 public release yesterday, MrMC only uses 1/4 of the screen in UHD mode Each private 7.2 preview worked very well :/ Just the public release broke UHD display completely in my setup. If I limit the MrMC UI to 1080p everything is OK, till I start a 4k movie of course.

FYI: Latest Emby client does not have these issues.

The beta from yesterday additionally breaks extensions, or at least the tvheadend, completely. "Extension couldn't be loaded".

what is your recommended fix/workaround please?

I recommend that you wait for koying to surface and fix the issue There is no 'work-around'.

Ah.

Good thing he's got someone like you around then eh?

You can't even be bothered to post something useful except regurgitating a log excerpt that any jackass could read?

Quite frankly you suck at what you do here dude.

I've seen enough of your snarky posts to know by now.

I presume one workaround would be to go back to the prod version right genius?

You know it's a beta right? Don't get so upset.

I cannot immediately reproduce. Could you share a debug log, please.
