    When MPTail is run on a different PC than the log files are located rebooting the networked PC causes MPTail to crash. Not a big bug but a bug still :)

    I have videos on a NAS drive. MP seems unable to detect that it is connected sometimes - possibly due to the drive being in low power mode. It appears that MP times out too quickly when trying to access the external drive.

    This did not happen in RC1 and may be related to the issue you have here.

    That is a windows issue to some extent, I'm assuming you are also using a wireless connection as, for wireless, the network cannot be brought up before the user has logged in which causes drives to appear as disconnected and Mp not to recognise them.

    Use this cmd file to get around the issue replacing <nas address> and <Gateway address> to your ip addresses just place in startup and set MP not to automatically start

    @echo off
    :waitloop
    echo Waiting for wireless....
    Ping 127.0.0.1 -n 2 > nul
    ipconfig | find /i "<Gateway address>" >nul
    if errorlevel 1 goto waitloop
    :waitloop2
    echo Waiting for nas....
    ping <nas address> | find /i "TTL" >nul
    if errorlevel 1 goto waitloop2
    :connected
    net use z: \\<nas address>\hdd_1_1_1 /persistent:no
    net use y: \\<nas address>\hdd2 /persistent:no
    echo starting....

    MPTail is not related to MediaPortal, its an external utility for watching logs :D So these two posts are in a wrong forum area.

    I uninstalled MP, made sure no sub folders were left n any programmes folders, changed the computer name, rebooted, installed MP and set logs and rebooted and ran TVServer. Didn't do anything in regard to S Loopback adapter. I've been using NextPvr since the problem became insurmountable. Only reason it's not a good long term...

    Installing other software, especially MP1, which is partly sharing Tv service with MP2, can make everything worse. Please upload your debug log files, if you want to solve the issue.

    Well, there is nothing wrong in the log. I have personaly tested the bitstreaming after DVD resume, and I can confirm that the LAV audiodecoder shows status 'bistreaming' on the output. What is your LAV status?
