Problems playing video files on extended desktop

[Chad Slater]

I am not sure what exactly is going on. All went well on my previous show but then my show on Wed I ended up with studdering video/audio when playing video and didn't have much going on in the background. Still have issues with MP4 but others play fine (except for the studder). Which oddly ONLY happens when played through Hoster. I ended up playing videos through media player classic on my ext.desktop and all went well. Which leads me to believe that it is Hoster giving me the issues. I think I will just continue to play videos outside hoster till I figure this mess out.

i thinks its the graphic card, and not Hoster..does the stuttering happens on extended display and have you tried playing the videos on just your main monitor ? the reason i asked was that i have the same issues, i havent tried playing music videos on Hoster yet, played just plain vcd and i have no problems, i've been djing lately and i've been playing some music videos using a vdj program, no problem of any kind when playing music videos just on my main monitor and wmp..i get stuttering and out of sync when it's extended to the 2nd and 3rd 22" lcd monitors..but the problem goes away when the screen is minimize.. and also check your cpu usage...does your main monitor and 2nd monitor has the same refresh rate they should be around 60hz.. (european should be around 50hz ) and does both monitors set to its native resolution ( 1920 x 1080 or whatever ?)

Might be worth re-checking your basic K-Lite settings before tweaking with Gspot.
If your version of K-lite is anything like mine find this setting: Start/All Programes/K-Lite Codec Pac/Configuration/Reset to recommended settings. This takes us back to a level playing field to work from.
Now open the configuration settings again and choose Haali Media splitter, click the options Tab then the + for the input, select "Try to open linked files" in the bottom window where it shows value select "No" then press OK. This particular setting helps with opening .vob files faster.
Lastly set your gspot to Kens latest settings.

Let us know if this has made any improvments.

I woldn't think Hoster would be the problem if everything ran fine the first show and not the second.

What was different between the 2 shows?

Did you play the same videos @ both shows?

Did you do a windows update, existing software update, driver update, or add new software between the 2 shows?

Anything else that might have been different between the 2 shows that you could think of would be helpful.

Thanks!

Found this in the questions and answers section of K-Lite: Which can be found from K-light/Help/FAQ.

Q:	The video stutters a lot when I play it fullscreen
A:	This can be a result of certain graphics card settings. Try changing the following settings in your graphics card control panel: - Set FSAA to 'Let the application decide' - Disable anisotopic filtering (AF) - Disable antialiasing

May be of some help

just wondering if you're using a pc to tv/monitor adapter, the reason i asked was that this adapters are not really good enough to play music videos , i bought all kinds of adapters, installed all kinds of codec.( vdj has a list of diff. codecs).downloaded videos from hd to low quality resolution..nothing help..problem still exist when playing in fullscreen, minimizing the screen to about 3/4 to all extended monitor helps and a lot it decreases my cpu usage, since music videos does takes a lot of cpu power.. i think the only solution was to get a very powerful graphic/video cards...

Have you tried stretching the singers display to fit the extended monitor?

tried that too..i can stretched it up to my 3rd monitor and still the same problem, extend it to 2nd monitor, i'll get a glitched, music goes out of sync..play it on primary monitor alone using wmp and vdj program, no problem at all, extend it back to 2nd display and minimizing it. problem goes away...so in my opinion Hoster has nothing to do with it..it's the graphic cards thats is not powerful enough to play music videos, and also when playing music videos, cpu uses too much power, so you might wanna check on that too
