[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 380337, member: 10858"] I think someone needs to ask from fforde how the texture loading is handled on Moving Pictures side. If it is done in a separate thread than the MediaPortal's main (rendering) thread then we have a issue :) As a result MP will randomly crash if the textures are changed on the fly when the rendering pass is ongoing. fontEngine.dll is not thread safe. Even MP seems to itself run into same issues (but really rarely). [url=http://mantis.team-mediaportal.com/view.php?id=1998]0001998: Threading issue with texture cache - MediaPortal Bugtracker[/url] Althou adding a texture should be safe and removal should be the only one that will cause a crash.
