Multithreading - any known issues ?

[gibman]

Before I pull the trigger on a new AMD 64 X2 CPU I would like to know if DVBViewer is multithreaded or not.

And if any known problems exist when running with multiple CPUs.

The dvbviewe works with a X2 CPU. (but i think, no multithreating)

But if you have problems with some programs (I had problems with virtual pc an google earth), you should install die AMD Dual-Core Optimizer. Then it works http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_ty...ies/TscSync.zip

Some Parts of the DVBViewer are multithreaded. But that are only minor things. Most important ist the DirectShow framework of windows which will be multithreaded (in some parts at least I think -> decoder if it supports it). But you have always the possibility to bind the DVBViewer main (and sidethreads) to one CPU in the options.

Hallo,

 

no problems with Intel Pentium D 940 too

 

the DVBViewer use both cores, if you haven't select the option "Use Only First CPU"
