[QUOTE="Mas21pa, post: 1116090, member: 151008"] I have been using MP for a couple years now and love it! I only use it for standard DVD iso playback and don't use the TV Server at all. I found bluray isos to be so large I would quickly run out of space if I used it for that. I guess I could be doing something wrong there, but that's another subject entirely. Anyways, I had a brand new PC build in 2012 built specifically to run MP and it doesn't do anything other than this function. It has (2) 2 TB internal HDD that are Western Digital, 8GB Ram. I play this through a Denon AVR and out to my projector via HDMI. Now this has been going on for a while. I had no issues with MP 1.2 and upgraded to 1.5 back in 10/2013. This issue started about 5 or so months ago with no other changes/upgrades that I am aware of. If I am playing a movie file from the 1st HDD, lets call it (A), perfect playback with no issues. If I play one from (B) it will frequently freeze (1-5 seconds) and the sound will cut out then come back with where the movie should be and the video kind of fast forwards to catch up to current placement. This can happen anywhere from 5-20 times during a 1.5hr movie. At first I thought it was the drive, but if I use another player such as VLC, the video plays perfect. The only time I have issues with the playback is through MP. But I am confused as to why MP would only have issues with one drive? Or it could be coincidence I guess that the other drive hasn't had any freezing. I even updated from MP 1.5-1.9 and no changes. I use the Titan skin as well. I have searched for hours on these forums and the net as well as checking various settings to no avail. Most of the freezing threads I found were TvServer or Bluray (stuttering) playback related and no standard movie/video issues. Is this a setting or parameter that needs changed? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks Mark [/QUOTE]
