Re: Choppy video playback in ASP on new PC

Just an Update: 2 years later I have returned to an AMD PC, this time an AMD Ryzen 7. My prior PC last year was an Intel Core i5 and ASP was running fine. Back to a Ryzen (faster) CPU and the choppy ASP video is back. This time, ASP has changed though. There is no more video encoding selection. If I...

Re: Cameras Offline After NVR Reboot

Thanks for this solution. I had to reconfigure my NVR and re-add each camera. Afterwards, they all had red dots. I had forgotten to update the passwords when I re-added them. This post reminded me to do that and now they work fine.

Re: Surveillance Pro: Black screen during playback but still kbps reading...

Not really. Like me, I doubt a lot of people will want to remove their GPU's native drivers in favor of a lower-performing "Microsoft Basic Display Driver" to make one app happy. Any app that's video-intensive like gaming will likely be unusable under the generic Microsoft display driver.

Re: Surveillance Pro: Black screen during playback but still kbps reading...

Update: Those compatibility settings no longer consistently work. However, if I uninstall the Intel UHD video driver and let Windows use it's own basic display driver, it seems to work consistently. Unfortunately that video driver is not acceptable for daily use in Windows. I think this is an issue ...

Re: Surveillance Pro: Black screen during playback but still kbps reading...

Well, I spoke too soon, even with the compatibility settings set as I mentioned them in my previous post, it's back to opening and displaying "Searching video..." for all cameras. :(

Re: Surveillance Pro: Black screen during playback but still kbps reading...

I have the same issue as MarkinGA: Whenever I launch ASP on my desktop PC (core i7-12650H, 64GB RAM, Win11 Home), it shows the "Searching Video..." message for all 5 cameras in Live View mode with black behind them. I've let it sit, but it never starts displaying. Relaunching will sometime...

Re: Choppy video playback in ASP on new PC

I will! I did run the AMD Adrenaline software and tweaked all the settings to "performance" bias, but didn't see any change. But I will try your suggestion about disabling the display adapter or removing the driver and letting it default to the basic MS driver and see if either case helps ...

Re: Choppy video playback in ASP on new PC

OMG! I finally figured this out! So, even SmartPSS wasn't running as smoothly as my two laptops, but it was better than ASP for some reason, which was really laggy. But I still wanted to figure out why a Ryzen 7 with Radeon graphics couldn't outperform a laptop with a slower CPU, less RAM, and a muc...

Re: Choppy video playback in ASP on new PC

Thanks -- Do you know which registry entries or app folders on the hard drive I would look for if I wanted to try to remove everything associated with an old installation... to start again with a "clean" installation (i.e. no remnants)?

Re: Choppy video playback in ASP on new PC

I guess the point I was trying to make was that the ability for the network to transmit, and the PC to visually process, the *amount* of data coming in for a 60fps 4K video would indicate that the network and PC should be able to process that a lesser *amount* of data coming from the NVR. If this is...
