[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1014027, member: 18896"] Playback and navigate are different though. Playback is dealt with via MediaPortal, which shifts the problem to codecs/splitters. The navigation is done by Moving-Pictures. This is why it is important to establish exactly at what step. So if the main cause is *AFTER* you press the action to play the movie, then it is most likely codec/splitter related. A common theme is MediaInfo on that. Right before playback starts, MediaPortal uses MediaInfo to determine framerate and other info from the mediafile. This is then used to for example adjust your monitor to 24Hz for a 24fps mediafile. The problem is that MediaInfo uses the same codecs/splitters as MediaPortal needs to play the file itself. This can then cause a deadlock if MediaInfo has problems reading the file (this is why you only see the problem on a selection of files). Updating the 32-bit MediaInfo.DLL is sometimes all you need to do. The MediaInfo project updates their DLL often to solve problems and you might simply have mediafiles now that need an updated DLL to work. A quick way to find out if that is the cause, is to rename mediainfo.dll to mediainfo.dll.old or something, and temporary disable it. If everything works fine then, then you know the cause. Then try an updated version to see if it solves your problem, and otherwise you might be stuck in having to keep it disabled and/or look into more multi-thread codec/splitter solution, such as MPC-HC standalone filters.
