I've seen such DX error very seldom before but never got an idea about the cause

But when I look at your log I see some issues that should be adressed:

• If you plan to access network drives, please set user credentials first:

[2018-01-19 18:07:42,942] [7148 ] [AMQ 'SettingsChangeWatcher`1'] [INFO ] - NetworkNeighborhoodResourceProvider: No credential registered for the root path; using Network Service account as fallback

• Could be a networking issue or any other device which sends non-standard messages. If this happens regulary, adding more debug logging might help

[2018-01-19 18:07:43,576] [7782 ] [30 ] [WARN ] - GENAClientController: Error handling event notification

• No idea why the hostname/addresses could not be retrieved

[2018-01-19 18:07:45,182] [9388 ] [Thread119] [WARN ] - SystemName: Could not retrieve host alias/address list from DNS (hostName: jill)

• @ge2301 theese error should be checked in skin (I guess WMC?)

I can not see where this happens

Ill keep an eye out for those DX errors in the future.

Im getting a few of these also:
[2018-01-20 12:54:22,867] [146995600] [273 ] [DEBUG] - Debug: SSDPClientController: Cannot handle notify request from 192.168.1.127:56220 (http://192.168.1.127:52100/DeviceDescription.xml [Windows, UPnP/1.1 DLNADOC/1.50, JRiver/22]): Invalid message BOOTID is missing

Jriver mediacenter is also installed on the same machine as the server. I use it's DLNA features.
So this is probably the reason for these log events
I guess the code should not blow up because of renegade upnp apps that are not abiding to the protocol.
It should just log some warnings...

I have not configured any network neighborhood sources. So this baffles me.
Although Jill is just a laptop I qucikly installed MP2 on.
It has default shared the Mymusic/MyPictures folders of windose 10, so that is probably what we see in the log.
The laptop was offline as some point, thats why it didnt connect.

Yes, that's all it is doing AFAIK

I have not configured any network neighborhood sources. So this baffles me.

I'm pretty sure that message is always logged if you haven't registered any credentials (at least I always see it), so can just be ignored

The converter could not find images for a menu entry and genre / PlayPercentage were empty (I can not do anything here).

Maybe it helps to bind the IsVisible property,if the image is not visible it is not tried to access the ImageSource (I think )

I can not see where this happens

WorkflowManager: Pushing workflow state 'VideoFullscreenContent' (id='882c1142-8028-4112-a67d-370e6e483a33') onto the navigation stack...

Last screen shown was the VideoFSC, so it could be the screen or OSD style etc.

I think this has something to do with an update by MS in the last 3 days.

Start MP2 on #3 monitor

Here on 3 screens there's a flashing between monitors then a dead screen then this message on the primary monitor and I have to reboot to get the other monitors active again.

Basically unusable ATM here. I ran windows update again and pick up any other files then updated the video driver. Can't see it being MP as it worked perfectly before the windows update.

 

[akayani]

Log

Feels like anyone with multiple monitors is going to experience this.

I've updated everything + MP2.

3 monitors work
Start MP2
Monitors go a black screen cycling as if trying to work out the issue
Only primary monitor is left active and other monitors disappear from even Windows control
Sound is redirected from speakers to not working screen

A pretty full on shit hits the fan.

 

[akayani]

Poke at it bug resolution... GAWD!

If I let this bugger up the screen then wait to it to end then start MP2 on the only monitor working, the primary monitor.

Alt return from full screen mode.

Restart Windows

Start the program again on the main display. Then move the MP2 Window to the TV display and run it full size but NOT full screen without the chrome it works fine.

It's got something to do with running the program FULL screen on that monitor which is a weird 1360 X 768 res.

If anyone knows what the update was from MS that caused this let me know and I'll see if I can back out of that update.

 

[akayani]

Should I make a video of what is going on here? I'm guessing that few people are using a similar set up and writing a report is failing to describe the level of annoyance of the issues above.

I'm guessing it isn't MP2 code but might be a library used in MP2 that needs an update. It's got a lot of odd nuisances.

I can't run MP2 since that windows update a week or so ago without a crash. I've been running it full screen but with the chrome bar at the top. When I stop a playback and start a new on the sound is out of sync and the video quality terrible. If I fully window the app that return to full screen + chrome it all works perfectly again.

No issues with VLC or youTube in the browser on the same monitor.

I think I need to make a short video tomorrow night to better describe this.
