[QUOTE="cryoplasm, post: 351441, member: 86444"] Hi all, been a lurker for quite a while. Have been using MP since at least 0.2.3.0. The setup I have at the moment is fairly streamlined. Not running any plugins or skins other than what the stock package puts out. Only use MP with TV. Can MP be run without a skin? Regarding speed, I particularly find start-up slow. But general all-round speed increase would also be welcomed and beneficial. Same for MP Configuration. Hence the statement on tuning. The biggest problem however has to do with the TV Client Server, ever since the feature was introduced after 0.2.3.0. The TV card is a USB2 one running with BDA drivers -- nothing proprietary. The USB hub is by Intel built into the computer (Intel based board) being run by stock Vista drivers, so again nothing proprietary there, all stock. Sending the computer into Standby/Suspend or unplugging the TV card causes havoc. Short of rebooting the computer, I have to go through the steps outlined above. Finally, the VMR9 problem is a new one in 1.0.0.0 as it was not present in RC4. If TV or media is playing in a window, it will switch off upon Alt+Enter, ok fine.
