Hi, this is a problem I've been getting lately and it happens quite constantly. I'll be trying to watch Live TV or even recorded TV and MP will suddenly just minimise and I'll be back at the Windows Desktop with MP minimised to the icon in the TaskBar. I'll then have to restore MP and restart from where I left off. Happens quite randomly, sometimes I can get away with 30mins of view time, sometimes less. I hope someone can tell me what's causing this, it's very annoying. I've set my power settings to never turnoff as well.

I've attached my logs but here's a snippet from the MediaPortal one. What I did was opened MyTV, alt+tabbed to the Log Debugger, cleared the logs, alt+tabbed back to MP then turned on my TV and went FullScreen. Then I left it and came back a bit later to find that MP has been minimised to taskbar and I then used Log Debugger to zip up the files.

Are you using EVR or VMR9?

 

[SpiralHom]

Ok, did a quick check on the MP Configurator and I can confirm it's VMR9 with all the boxes ticked:
- Use for playback of webstreams
- Use exclusive mode
- Use nonsquare mixing for scaling
and Gaussian Quad Filtering.

 

[SpiralHom]

Ok, I've changed over to EVR and so far so good! Left it running all day without any problems.
