Hi Everyone,
Hoping someone can help... it seemed to start happening more since updating to mp 1.2.1 and then again on 1.2.2...
Welcome to MediaPortal, and happy Christmas.
You will get excellent support here, but you need to provide a great deal more information for people to be able to help. In particular you will need to provide your logs.
This is how you gather your logs: MediaPortal Forum - Announcements in Forum : General Support

what i always do is take a rarred backup of the dir where the program is installed and the program data dir with the team mediaportal.

Hi pokekevin
I can see you've commented/raise quite a few threads about this problem so I know it is annoying for you. The issue seems to be this exception:
Unfortunately I know very little about the skin engine however maybe the reference to thumbnails gives you a clue. Hopefully one of the skin experts can be more helpful...

Hi again CSMR
Do you use the PC for other things? If not then perhaps you can disable the screensaver in Windows and use the MP one instead? Check the "screensaver" settings in the "GUI" section of MP configuration -->here<-- (make sure to be in advanced mode). A quick google search suggests that there are quite a few applications...

We still can't see them. You need to enable an option in your profile so that we can see them. Even then, I would prefer it if you could provide log files. It only takes a minute and it should be very straightforward if you follow the instructions. Logs are actually required for support threads because we need to know more...

You're right, without the hack you can't even login as another user without it logging off the first one. When you install the Concurrent RDP hack which fixes this, you can also choose whether the SingleSessionPerUser is set or not.
Thanks for clarifying when MP needs to be restarted. I guess the changed settings just don't take...

Ahhh, I see. It sounds like Sage doesn't/didn't handle on-the-fly video/audio stream changes, hence the need for a delay that gives the STB long enough to change channel...

Hi jasonblack
There is certainly no way to "disable" timeshifting. In fact I would consider the mechanism for timeshifting (ie. writing the stream to an HDD and reading it back) as a core part of the link between the MediaPortal front end and TV Server back end. It is very far from trivial to remove.
Technically the major...

Understood.
As you prefer. I would be looking at the renderer statistics (press shift + 1 - the exclamation mark) to see them in full screen and see if the renderer is dropping frames. Also check the evr/vmr log file to see if there is anything suspicious.
Good luck - I hope you manage to find a solution! :)

Some system specs etc would be useful....
A few suggestions:
1. Plug the speakers into the TV and run sound over HDMI as before - if the TV doesn't have phono or 3.5mm jack audio outputs, it probably has sound output on one of the SCART connectors - you just need to get...

Many thanks erron - I ran into the same issue in 1.2.1 (SideBySide Error ID 59) and MP would not start, after my power died and UPS battery was dead and system was not shut down (MP was still open and probably doing something!) :( So the issue is not related only to Windows Update.

Hi austuff
Yes, I confirm you need to set up the loopback adapter or hack the registry in that situation. MP requires a connected network adapter for operation even in a single seat environment. That requirement is linked to the requirements of some of the protocols that MP relies on for communication between the frontend client and...
