[QUOTE="Taipan, post: 141421, member: 11681"] I have had a look through your MediaPortal.bak file (since this is the one created at the time of the "crash") and I notice that you started recording "'The Jamie Kennedy Experiment' on channel:50 G4P" at 15:25:01? Then, it looks like you tried to play "C:\drive\videos\HD\IMAX.Antarctica.avi" at 15:25:09? However, there are errors listed at 15:25:05 to do with your FolderDatabase3.db3 file ... :( Either this file is corrupt, or it is pointing to folders that no longer exist? Run MediaPortal Setup again and check that you have all the folders for your videos set correctly. You may have to delete (or just rename, in case you want to restore it) the FolderDatabase3.db3 file and then run MediaPortal Setup to create a fresh one. Were you trying to watch IMAX.Antarctica.avi when the crash occurred? If so, you might want to use [URL="http://www.stokebloke.com/video/wmv2avi.php"]GraphEdit[/URL] to see what video decoder is being used by Mediaportal do decode this avi. Some video decoders handle FF better than others, so this might be a factor. To use GraphEdit:- 1. start MediaPortal in windowed mode and play the video. 2. launch GraphEdit and then select File -> Connect to a remote graph and select the option displayed in the small dialog window. 3. a "graph" will be displayed showing you what filters have been connected - take note of the video decoder. 4. to change to a "preferred" decoder, you then need to use a tool like Radlight Filter Manger to modify the filter's merits. This needs to be done very carefully as it is easy to mess things up ... Let me know how you go, Taipan [/QUOTE]
