Using: MP 0.2RC4 + mediaportal-svn-04-29-2006--01-04

Reproduce:
Start MP -> MyTV (TS = ON) -> Fullscreen TV, change channels 21 times (wait for the next channel to load).
In my case the screen starts flickering (vmr7 helper) after 21 times & you can’t watch TV anymore, has to close MP & start it again to view TV.

It's now added to Mantis
After testing i found that:
MP 0.2RC2 + mediaportal-cvs-02-26-2006--17-17 works
MP 0.2RC2 + mediaportal-cvs-02-27-2006--01-04 causes my behaviour described above.

It seems that the crash in quartz.dll with loppydtv is occuring when switching encrypted Channels more than 21 times.
Switching FreeTV more than 21times causes the same VMR7 issue.

Hi,
There are now a fix in the SVN marked mediaportal-svn-06-07-2006--10-48.rar.
Test it & give feedback, it works very well with nvidia & MPV codecs.
