    You know that specific process is responsible for rendering the MP GUI and EVR video as well? Lowering that process' priority will most likely reduce the video playback quality. I would highly suggest that the Desktop Window Manager's process priority is not altered. It won't help in anything, just make things worse (it still has as much work to do when it renders all DirectX reated stuff - only now it would have less change to do it's work properly...).

    Usually it is best thing to not to fiddle with the Windows internals unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing :D

    I got the impression Technick is increasing the priority of the dwm. Shouldnt that be positive then? (noob asking here)

I couldn't connect to the new TV Server from my old single-seat installation running 32-bit until I changed all MP-related firewall rules on the new machine to Private. Before I did...

    you are right.. I spotted why it's not working. For what ever reason, the 3x recently added / watched for TV series, etc was killing it.. I've removed it for now and it's started working again. I'll have to dig a little deeper as to why it's happened all of a sudden.

    Install it again, x86 and x64 have different repositories and often have different versions of the accompanying files.

    So, habe jetzt mal die komplette MP Installation deinstalliert und wieder installiert und nur den Videio-Ordner hinzugefügt. LAV-Filter installiert und Default-Device im Audio-Renderer eingestellt (war auch vordefiniert). Und gleiches Problem, MP stürzt beim Beenden eines Filmes ab.
