When using the the Now Playing screen it freezes MP. I can replicate this every single time, the album art will display with the song details scrolling at the bottom of the screen. Within about 20 seconds the screen will freeze, but the music plays on.

I tried using Blue 4:3 as per this thread, but no luck, that made MP freeze within 10 seconds of starting MP.

I've disabled the connect to internet options for downloading album art, etc in the Now Playing screen but no luck.

The process to replicate the freeze is as follows:
1. Start MP
2. Go to My Music
3. Select Genre view, choose Genre
4. Highlight album, pres Play button on remote
5. Now Playing screen appeares
6. Freezes shortly thereafter

Logs attached, any ideas would be appreciated.

Read this thread and I am sure this will resolve your issues with lock ups. Either change your video driver version or change the skins coding. People have posted new versions of the skins with the modifications if you prefer to leave the driver version as is. These skins are available in this post as well.

Thanks for your replies, I'm working through the suggestions from this thread. I'm hoping the turn flipy off suggestion will work with the CCC 7.11 version, rather than having to roll back to 7.2, as the whole interface seems to be so much more responsive with the latest drivers.
