Hi All,

My setup had previously been working fine (beta 1.1.0) till I upgraded yesterday to 1.1.0 R3. At first I didn't do a completely clean installation which meant I was unable to play video files. I could do everything within MP but as soon as I went to play a a video / my tv shows / Moves / it would just hang. I would have to kill the process as it was unresponsive.

I have since done two complete re-installs using fresh files removing every skerric of MP without prevail as I am still seeing this same problem.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

Same problem with my install and win XP.

fresh install and saf v4 codecs only used. All worked fine before.

EDIT.....

streamedMP skin also used

The problem seems to be with moving pictures and the mediainfo.dll as mentioned in another post.

Replacing the mediainfo.dll with the one below seems to resolve the problem.

Can you please provide a link to the thread.

I was at it again last night going step by step to see what would work.

Doing a fresh install (no Saf or any plugin / extension) mediaportal worked like a charm. I then installed moving pictures which had no problem. StreamedMP installed fine as well.

From here I can only assume that the problem could be steaming fro MP-TVseries as the release version looks focussed towards 1.1.0.0 R2 not R3. I'm not exactly a pro when it comes to this particular department but as far as I can tell this is the offending plugin.

Will try and install MP-TVseries tonight and post the outcome.

Here's the thread:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...-2010-supports-mp-1-1-0-rc3-82249/index3.html

All you need to do is replace the mediainfo.dll with the one in the zip in the thread linked in the Mediaportal directory. That should fix everything.

edit: Install Mediaportal + StreamedMP normally then replace the file
