Not sure what causes this. I just upgraded to 0.2.2.0 and this New Year time I was using it to play bunch of videos (mostly AVIs, DivX or XVid).. After a while the picture either gets jerky or it seems to show fine, but MP doesn't react to MCE remote, keyboard and mouse cursor appears briefly. Few times I managed to open Task Manager and see it (usually video just hides it all the time) - MP was at 48-49% CPU utilization (on hyperthreaded P4) which means that it was spinning somewhere and wasn't responding to user actions... So, few times I had to reset the box..

Any idea why this would happen? Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks! Hope to figure out what the problem is..

Thanks for the new cool release, Dev! Love your product..
