This is important because my HTPC is pushing 4K at 60hz. The motherboard is important because I was doing it CPU's HD 530 GPU and that motherboard has a HDMI 2.0 port on it not just a 1.4a. HDMI 2.0 is what allows for more than 30hz at 4K using HDMI. Displayport 1.2 also allows for 4K at 60hz, but hardly any TVs have Displayport.</p><p></p><p>I had issues using the CPU's HD 530 that never got fixed, but what I did do was buy a GTX 960 (GTX 950, 960, 970 and 980 all have HDMI 2.0) and that fixed all of those issues that I previously had.

[QUOTE="Lyfesaver74, post: 1183172, member: 107242"] Okay, I am having some issues. i will try and go to as much detail in text as I can but the attached short video shows what I am experiencing and has descriptions of the issues as they arise. First off, for those they may or may not know, I am not a normal guy (big shocker) and I dont have a normal setup. I am almost always pushing MP so it is not uncommon for my issues to be the most random SOBs seen, and for that I apologize. I also want to say up front, thank you for each and every one of you in advance for helping. It means the world to me, so thank you. Okay, as a heads up for those of you who have not read my post from last month ([URL]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/mp-crashes-on-new-4k-htpc.134090/[/URL]) I have a Skylake i5-6500 on a Gigabyte Z170-Gaming 7 motherboard. This is important because my HTPC is pushing 4K at 60hz. The motherboard is important because I was doing it CPU's HD 530 GPU and that motherboard has a HDMI 2.0 port on it not just a 1.4a. HDMI 2.0 is what allows for more than 30hz at 4K using HDMI. Displayport 1.2 also allows for 4K at 60hz, but hardly any TVs have Displayport. I had issues using the CPU's HD 530 that never got fixed, but what I did do was buy a GTX 960 (GTX 950, 960, 970 and 980 all have HDMI 2.0) and that fixed all of those issues that I previously had. In fact, everything seemed to be great until I played some TV episodes. What happens is when I play certain episodes it messes up the color and resolution, and when I play other episodes it fixes the problem and it looks okay again. Oddly enough when I use a networked mouse in MP it temporarily fixes the issue for about 5 seconds, but not when I use a mouse connected to that PC. Also, I get some errors when I play certain other episodes. Below is the media info for each of the TV episodes, the Join or Die that breaks it, the 24 that fixes it and the Two and a Half Men that gives an error before playing. As a side not for that error. It does play the video, but once it ends and I go to the next episode I get the error again, but then MP hangs and I have to force close it.
