[QUOTE="lcg, post: 836711, member: 29606"] Well, I am currently down to less than 10s. Still not perfect, but considering that my receiver loses the audio connection for DTS every time I pause and I have to skip back 15s anyway, what's skipping back an additional 15s at the beginning of a movie. ;) Actually, all my files are on local disks, because my HTPC uses a wireless connection and -- after I got rid of my file server -- I did not want to have some network storage running all the time, consuming energy when nobody's home. I was actually thinking about something like that, too. Both Moving Pictures and TV Series scan metadata on import and store it in their own databases, they don't really need it for playback. My TV is an older model, so 60Hz is all it can take, therefore no refresh rate switching for me either. I think I am going to test renaming MediaInfo.dll and see if any functionality in MePo breaks. And when I import new movies, which happens maybe once every two weeks (probably even less often), I can close MePo, rename the .dll back, and start the import. Not a big deal for me. Thanks for your help in figuring this out, lcg P.S.: I just found this in the MediaPortal 1.2 changelog: "[Workaround] #2926 - MediaPortal can now work without MediaInfo.dll · This workaround will help users to play files which cause a freeze of MediaPortal on playback start due to a bug in MediaInfo" So it seems this is indeed a known problem and that 1.2 actually works without MediaInfo. Good thing I didn't try to fix this sooner. :) [/QUOTE]
