Since MP 1.0.1.0, my client has been freezing up at random when browsing network shares thru "My Videos" .
Windows does not freeze, just MP.
When i end the MP process thru task manager, i can browse the network just fine. It's just MP having this problem....
I am having this problem with 1.0.1.0 and 1.0.2.0 only..
So far, i :
- Re-formated to no avail
- When the above did not work, i built a new machine to eliminate faulty hardware, also to no avail...
- Re-formated again... Still having probs...
I am running Vista Home Premium 32bit with SP2... and yes, the problem was there with SP1 as well...
What i find strange is that my other client in the lounge room isn't having this problem... It is running the same software, same updates, same codecs etc...
The only difference is that it uses Blue3Wide skin and the problematic client is using Blue3 skin. Yes i did change the skin but didn't help...
One more thing, i can watch Recorded TV shows just fine ( which are also recorded/stored on my dedicated server ) and i am using UNC path names...
Any ideas anyone ???
EDIT: I just changed the skin to Blue3wide again, but this time i rebooted.. Now i can browse shares again.. Could it be a skin problem ? Also, i did notice that the red " Record " icon differs between the skins... On B3W, its a grey square with "REC" written inside, whereas with B3 its just a red dot ? Is this normal ?
