When I watch a movie using Moving Pictures then switch to MP TV-Series to watch a TV series episode, very often I get a crash. The screen goes black and the audio keep playing in the background. Sometimes the audio plays fine, sometimes it's like a broken record. If it's the latter, I can just wait for about 30 seconds until it stops "skipping in a loop" because I know that MediaPortal has popped up a message like "MediaPortal has stopped working" with a Close button. The screen is still black (on the TV) but if If I connect to my HTPC through RealVNC, I will see this popup message. As soon as I click the Close button (using OK on my remote) the desktop comes back in view.
If I play videos using MyVideos then switch to MP TV-Series I can't recall this ever happening. The logs unfortunately don't show anything about any problems, but I'll try to recreate the issue and post logs. So, is it Moving Pictures I should blame for these crashes (as it's playing first) or MP TV-Series (as it's always the plugin that's in use when the crash occurs?
