Hi guys,
I personally use MediaPortal for many years now and am very satisfied with it. That was the reason why I recommended my father to build a htpc with MediaPortal software to manage and play his digitalized dvd collection.
Now that he has digitalized his dvd collection (about 800 films) by using DVD43 and DVDShrink and managed it by using MovingPitctures plugin within MediaPortal on his htpc, there's unfortunately some playback problem.
When playing his .vob files, the playback first runs very nice and without problems. Then after some time the plaback freezes (audio + video) and MediaPortal has to be shut down via TaskManager. The freezes in the particular films allways appear on the same position. This happens to aproximately 90% of the tested films.
The MediaPortal.log (debug mode) says the following:
So in this special example, the playback allways stops after playing about two minutes of chapter 14. With other films is stops at other positions.
As mentioned in another thread i found, "DVD warning :6" means that the build in dvd player isn't able to read or access the file.
What I tried so far:
None of the changes could fix the problem. When I try to play the same files on the same htpc by using VLC MediaPlayer all works fine. I am able to access all chapters of the film, fast-forward the film and also watch the whole film.
Any suggestions?
Stefan
PS: some additional infos on the system
EIDT: The freezes also appear when playing the files directly with the video folder option in MediaPortal - so MovingPictures isn't the problem.

What I tried so far:
- updating MediaPortal to version 1.1.1 (1.1.0 before)
- updating MovingPictures to version 1.08 stable (1.07 stable before)
- changing video and dvd playback codecs from MPC to ffdshow
