[QUOTE="Pollocks, post: 49569, member: 20114"] Sorry if I missed this somewhere else in the forum, but I have a problem (don't we all :wink: ) Playback of divx, xvid etc is choppy / jerky in MediaPortal, but smooth when viewed in Media Player. I tried using the external player option to specify Media Player and it launches fine, but it's a bit annoying 1) if the mouse is in the wrong place on the screen, then Media Player doesn't go full screen 2) There's no way to get back to MediaPortal (that I found) automatically after you hit stop on the movie, so you end up having to get off your back side and close Media Player using the mouse. Annoying. I have a MCE remote control which works fine, but it doesn't control regular windows (that I know of) so I can't close Media Player with that either. Why the stuttering video playback in MediaPortal but not when using Windows Media Player? It's a new machine with decent spec so I don't think the issue is that the hardware isn't fast/good enough.........besides which, the movie plays fine in Media Player (and I see CPU usage etc is not high). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. ....I'm close to giving up and taking MS Windows Media Center Edition, which I don't wanna do. -P [/QUOTE]
