    I posted a bug report about DVD problems a week or two ago but nobody even responded.

    Sometimes if no one can reproduce this themselves, they actually forget to answer you, not great, but it happens.

    Anyway using DVD works fine here, this is using Friday's svn.

    Tried this with and without Drivespeed enabled, this is using PowerDVD7 codecs.

    Known possible causes of DVD playback failure are Drivespeed settings for cd\dvd in general settings, and hdcp grafix having 2 monitors\tv's being output at the same time, but cannot test if this may be a problem now, as no dual output..

    ps the only thing your logs told me in your other post, is that you are using monochrome skin.

    That's usually some form of DRM on the DVD itself, PDVD, WinDVD usually have the paid for keys to be able to play them.

    maybe setting loglevel to debug might pinpoint the difference between normal and stuck? Preferable with as much disabled as possible also try to see if anything is happening during stuck for the mediaportal process(resource monitor, disk activity, cpu usage, anything) maybe other programs competing for resouces?

    @CyberSimian Sorry, I missed your last post. I ended up doing a clean install on the client and all is well now. It still doesn't let me go back in time when I change channels but it does continue operating from that point on. I'm ok with that. Thanks for your help! EDIT: I now downgraded the server (as I did with the client above)...
