You mean your movie is freezing when InfoService is enabled ? Please attach your log files so i can take a look whats happen.I have a similar issue with infoservice.. My movingpictures plugin freezes during a movie when infoservice is enabled. When disabled everthing is fine. I have it disabled right now to prevent sudden freezes when watching... Too bad!
I'm testing infoservice with 1.1.0 alpha at the moment. i didn't get a freeze after ~10 minutes.
@ftothe3: Do you use 1.1.0 alpha ? Can you upload your logs, so i can test with your infoservice settings?
Just to confirm: Your logs contain the same DirectX error I get.

Hi edsche, MP is in EVR (I´m on Windows 7 64Bit, MP 1.1.0 ALPHA and latest SVN). And it happens here without playing anything. Just the RSS on the screen, waiting some time - full stop of MP. Be sure to compile it against the latest API - there where changes. We just had this also with the ScoreCenter plugin and atm with the HTPCInfo plugin - so at least you´re not alone .
