I might have a solution for some of you.

If you are using Spdif and have disabled "Speakers" as playback device in your Vista "Playback devices" (rightclick loudspeaker in tray) settings. Enable it again. Just don´t set it as default.

This fixed it for me. I have Realtek

    Aaaaaaaagh - this bug is back in RC3 :(

    Pretty unlikely as following code part is not changed for months:

    Code:
          OsDetection.OSVersionInfo os = new OsDetection.OperatingSystemVersion();
          int ver = (os.OSMajorVersion * 10) + os.OSMinorVersion;
          if (ver >= 60)
          {
            Log.Debug("Disabling process window ghosting");
            NativeMethods.DisableProcessWindowsGhosting();
          }

    Also with a following test I cannot reproduce the issue:

    Code:
      protected override void Render(float timePassed)
      {
        count++;
        if (count > 1000)
        {
          count = 0;
          Thread.Sleep(1000000);
        }

    So, I cannot reproduce the issue even when causing MP to stall for a very long time. Make sure that you have done a clean RC3 install so that there isnt anything old left over.

    Also make sure that you arent using any 3rd party compatibility tools to change Vistas behaviour towards the MediaPortal process. (for example to "fix" the EVR flickering with ATI cards using some CPU affinity patch).
