MP crashes sometimes after resume from Standby (1 Viewer)

Has this error to do with something from my part like driver/hardware/configuration or is it more related to mp (bug)?

I didnt use the volume control from mp, i assigned the buttons on my harmony to the volume control of my receiver.. lav is configurated for bitstreaming. in mp configuration is almost standard i think, with bassplayer.

It could be both. It can be a driver issue, but i suspect it more to be a timing issue with MP.

What setting are you using for Volume Control? Is this set to Master or Wave?
MP Config > General > Volume Settings

 

[skorz]

"Wave" and "Windows Vista / Win 7", the default Settings from the Installation...

Oooky here we go, MP crashed again:

MP was frozen and again the window from MP was small as it was the crash before with windows content beeing non visible - TV resolution was correctly full HD when I got the picture.
When I clicked on the MP taskbar icon it went back to fullscreen but was completely black.
That is in contrary to the behavior with version MP 1.6 where in all crashes MP stayed in fullscreen mode with visible GUI or black window content.

Could it be that the HTPC first sets the wrong resolution, for whatever reasons, and then when all HDMI links are up it switches to full HD resolution and that then kills MP!?

The log from the current crash is attached, it was still the standard 1.7pre. I think it looks worthless.


As for the post above my Volume setting in MP is set to "Wave" - I haven't touched this (at least I think I haven't)


I now installed the provided test version of 1.7 with the "delay option" beeing fixed and will report back.
Attached is a picture which option I ticked - is that the correct one?

Can you try with Master setting?

Yes, correct

Next one, now with the 1,7 pre test version.

Edit:
I have now set the Volume to "Master".

just as info:
MP woke up in fullscreen with the last frozen picture frame from the tv channel I was watching (this time I just switched all off without stopping playback which I did before).

Could it be Windows 8 related, both me and Skorz use Win 8

I'm on win8.1 and can't reproduce it but it can be hardware/driver related ! that's will be not easy

Ok Skorz and I both use AMD graphic cards and audio over HDMI. I use driver catalyst 13.12.

Same here.
Windows 8.1 connected to receiver with HDMI. Disabled onboard audio in BIOS, only audio driver is AMD HDMI driver (latest catalyst package)
i do have the AVR Audioguard running (or else i don't hear the navigation clicks anymore since Win 8).
