DVBViewer & Hyper Treading

[stefos]

Hi @ll !

I want to ask if Hyper-Treading technology is fully supported by DVBViewer .

Do i have to change any settings in the program?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Best Digi Regards.

The full version of the DVBViewer fully supports HyperThreading.

hmm, well if fully support mean it does not cause any conflict, then yes.. The main problem is not the hyperthreading itself, but the skystar2 driver.

Maybe just as information: on my p4 2.4 Ghz i get a cpu usage of <12% on ordinary tv stations - with enabled hardware mpeg decoding it is <2%..

Thanks for the reply.

 

Well i have noticed that if i tuned to different channels, after some minutes the picture quality drops down (flicker appears). If i restart my system then again DVBViewer is working fine. I have read somewhere that MS recommends to clean installation in case of upgrading with HT cpu. I don't know really, but maybe the solution is there.

 

Cheers !

if you dont have the latest fullversion you might take a look in the forum. I posted a patch a few weeks ago, alternatively you might open the task manager and assign one cpu to the DVBViewer task..

Hello Hackbart .

 

Well i am using the latest rel v.1.99.a I have looked in task manager but couldn't find any option to assign one cpu to the DVBViewer , believe it would be better if this was an option in future releases.

 

I have also noticed that latest releases cause a hang to Europeonline's Server4PC service, so maybe the main reason is skystar2 drivers like you have already mention.

 

So far i have to disable HT from board bios to bypass my problem
