We have just refurbished the church and have a projector and 2 flat TV screens in Church. We are struggling to project videos without there being some jumping and flickering of the videos. Is there something obvious causing this or not? Someone suggested it could be a screen resolution issue but I wonder if it is something in easyworship? Any help would be appreciated! It is only playing videos that is an issue not hymns or readings......

Hi!

I need you to run a test on the computer.
Open EW and then go live with one of the videos that you are having the trouble with and then click on help//video codec trouble shooting and let me know what shows up in that list.

Also when you are live with the video bring up the Windows task manager by doing a Ctrl + ALt+Del and clicking on Task Manager. In Task Manager click on the Performance tab and while the video is playing see if anything is maxing out to 100% such as the CPU.

As for CPU usage....20% maximum it went to - nothing pulling anything near 100%

Hope this helps.....?

Hi Brad32,
Are these videos HD videos?
Browse to one of the videos and right click on it, then click properties and Details.
Please reply with the details.
It's possible that the video quality is so high that the video card cannot support the playback through EasyWorship.

Thanks for that information.
What is the bitrate on the videos and what is the resolution of the video?
That will tell me if it's HD or not.
That should be on the details tab that I directed you to.

I think we may have resolved the issue. It looks to have been a faulty HDMI cable between a switch and a splitter we have installed with the new system. I replaced an HDMI cable (quite by chance) and it seems to have sorted the issue out. Thanks for your help in this matter and I will come back if there is any further problem.
Thanks
