when looking up a movie in imdb, sometimes (not sure how to reproduce exactly) the screen starts flickering, where only a rectangle with the imdb info remains still on top of everything else (and stays there until MP is restarted or PC has been put into standby) and the rest flickers between black and the current screen in MP.

How to reproduce:
sorry, only sporadically, attached logs of several lookups though...

Wow, sorry, didn't see it in the first 34 listed ones (how do I see the other open ones?). Only looked at the descriptions though, and only found #963 regarding imdb...

Hi again,

did get the error again with 14036; this time I got the logfiles right along with it. Movie was "Armageddon", approximately in the middle of the progressbar the flickering starts.

Maybe this helps you guys

cya, Seven
