Hello,

While using RC1 I've come across a problem after watching a video, that the context menu when you hit "info" on a video listing in My Videos becomes extremely unresponsive. This happens across the board in mediaportal with plugins such as My-TVSeries as well.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go into My Videos
2. Highlight a video and hit the more info button to bring up the context menu (Play movie, search IMDB etc)
2a. Note the responsiveness of moving through the options
3. Play video (I skipped and played the last 10 or so minutes in my logs) and let it finish
4. Scroll back to the same video in the My video screen and enter the context menu again and move up and down the menu

Expected results:
1. Snappy responsiveness as noted in step 2a

Actual results:
1. Slow, Unresponsive scrolling through options, sometimes taking up to a second per line to navigate.


Please let me know if you need anymore information regarding this possible bug,

Thanks!

    bobbyd, there are a couple of possible reasons for this behavior. Are you able to reliably reproduce it? If so, try the attached binary which contains a possible fix for the issue if it a different issue from what chemelli suggests. Replace the dialogs.dll file in the plugins\windows subdirectory. :D

    This dll seems to have fixed it!

    I Played one video with the old dll to make sure it failed; it did. Replaced the dll given, and played a video, and it fixed it! Haven't experienced any problems since I swapped it Wednesday night!

    Thanks!!
