@jimbolina
Thanks for log :

You have a lot of error in event log about setuptv crash because it didn't find some xml (but don't know why) and a lot of MySQL error and also about mediabox.home hostname not resolved.

You get also some error about ffmpeg.exe (it seems that it can generete thumbnail).

Also this one :

[2014-04-21 16:38:15,988] [Error  ] [17       ] [ERROR] - LoadSkin: Running on wrong thread - StackTrace: '   at System.Environment.GetStackTrace(Exception e, Boolean needFileInfo)

I have maybe something to test about above 'LoadSkin: Running on wrong thread' error.

And after a while happen this error :

And then MP will not be able to render font etc. and lead to your issue.
So i don't know why (maybe loadskin error can lead to the d3d error).

Could you update to 1.7.1 hotfix too ? (i think it should do the same) but i will able to provide you some bin based on it

 

[jimbolina]

Ok I'll do that upgrade now and test again. I normally have to leave it overnight, but I'll see if I can reproduce it sooner.

Not sure about the ffmpeg.exe error. It's not installed and hasn't ever been.

I'll have a look into the mediabox.home hostname issue. It's the MySQL that MP installs, but maybe it's expecting a certain hostname to be configured. I haven't touched the DNS config on that machine, so it's the windows default at the moment.

 

[jimbolina]

Haven't seen the D3D error in the last few days, but I'm hesitant to say it's fixed itself. It might just take a few days to occur.

I'll update as soon as I can reproduce that.

I am still getting the 'LoadSkin: Running on wrong thread' error though.

 

[PCSentianl]

I thought I would add an update, I upgraded to MP 1.7 and retried with the latest NVidia drivers but still had the crashing issue, out of exasperation I did a backup and complete uninstall and reinstall and MP no longer crashes.

If I look in the error log though I can see the wrong thread error occurring.

Don't know if this helps any

I did a backup and complete uninstall and reinstall and MP no longer crashes.

That's good news, then it might have been a hiccup in the installation.

If I look in the error log though I can see the wrong thread error occurring.

Please update to 1.7.1 and if you still get the LoadSkin errors, please post the logs.

The errors probably don't harm MP, and you probably won't even notice them, unless you check the logs.
This 'extra' logging was added so these issues aren't hidden anymore, but exposed so we can fix them 1 by 1.
So please post logs if you see them!

 

[jimbolina]

D3D error still occurring. New logs attached.

 

[evilgroby]

Are there any news here?
After some month of using Mepo 1.7.1 i have the same problems and messages in my logs.
See post with log in german here:

[Sebastiii]

No clue and i can't reproduce it so it will be hard to fix it.

Did you try 1.8 and 1.9 pre ?
Thanks
