[QUOTE="joecrow, post: 1283734, member: 128337"] OK I have done some more testing on this and can confirm the problem!:) It is not the action of inserting the usb stick or mounting an external drive, it is what is on it. Inserting an empty or .iso stick is no problem but when I used my general storage stick which contains a mix of items including .jpg and mp4 then bang after about 20 secs live TV stops playing and MP seems to be trying to do something with the stick as it cannot be ejected (in use) until MP2 is closed. As far as I can tell only live TV is effected, recorded TV, videos and audio continue playing although MP has still locked the stick. It happens regardless of the autoplay setting in Win 10 both "no action" or Autoplay set to off make no difference.I tried refining the file type and set up a 2nd stick with only .jpg and mp4 files, but this gave no problem and it could be ejected while MP was still open. I see no valid reason why MP2 is trying to use a newly inserted usb stick or a mounted external drive, given that shares have to be set up manually so I believe the behaviour is undesirable and needs to be fixed. I have a hardware upgrade scheduled on the PC I use for testing so will have to pause any further troubleshooting till later or maybe even tomorrow but hope this helps.;) [/QUOTE]
