[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1172440, member: 17766"] Could be network related, do you have the rPI wired to a gigabit network? Shouldn't happen though as I have had it running for a long time now without issues (both rPi+OpenElec and now rPi2+Raspian), connection drops are logged in the Mediaportal-error.log but best to set the logging to debug in the Mediaportal configuration to get some more info if it has it. Frame drops I believe we don't log as they could potentially flood the logs. When it happens you could run a ping test on both the HTPC and rPI device and see if it has packet loss at that time, on the rPI you could also ping something in your local network constantly like this: - SSH to your rPi box - Execute command: ping <machine address> - Leave the SSH session running and open in the background - When AmbiLight error occurs open the SSH window and do a Ctrl+C , you will see a total packet count and packet loss. Since it only happens sometimes I don't expect it to be a Hyperion issue but could check the CPU load on the Windows machine (and maybe rPI just in case) and to see if it's too high now and again.
