Hello all,
My HTPC is an HP laptop with an i5 480M Arrandale, 4 gig of RAM and Intel HD Graphics. I have hundreds of DVD rips (VIDEO_TS folder) that play fine with Kodi and/or MPC-HC with madvr. All default settings except I have set Kodi "Adjust display refresh rate" set to Always. This is hooked to a 4K TV, but my problems exist even when not hooked up to the TV and using the laptops native display. Even if I set this to Off the issue still persists.
I have started picking up some bargain bin Blurays and some for my son as well. All of the non-animated bluray rips play just fine. Examples are: Gravity, Sin City, Dark Shadows, there are plenty more.
The problem I am having is with animated blurays. Examples are: Wall-E, Nemo, Minions. I have the issue with all three of these on my HTPC laptop, however they play fine on my desktop PC. An old core2duo with a GTX960.
The best I can explain the issue is that it will appear at any point in the movie and appears as a horizontal band across the screen. Everything within the band is scrambled looking while the rest of the screen remains fine. This will come and go at various times throughout the movie.
I have tried messing around with the refresh rates of the intel drivers trying 23, 24, 60, etc... nothing makes a difference. The odd part is that other animated films play fine (Big Hero 6, Ponyo, Hotel Transylvania)
At first I thought the issue was the rips themselves, but since they play fine on my desktop I figure there must be some setting or incompatibility on the HTPC laptop.
Any ideas. The problem movies have the problem whether I use Kodi or MPC to play them.
Thanks,
Maiyr
