Log included... I do not understand a lot of what its telling me but the screen appeared to be clean and free of dropped frames

Your log shows some issues: after stopping the playback, the original RR is restored, but then immediately set back to the video's one.

60 -> 23 -> 60 -> 23

Then at closing it's finally restored to default 60:

This is fixed now!

If RRC changes the refresh rate at start of playback a video (if screen refresh rate did not match video refresh rate) the video playback is no longer in full screen but in background. I always have to fiddle to get full screen playback again. I think it's due to the short lost of GFX (means screen is getting black for some milliseconds) during switching the refresh rate. When the picture is back after the switch, video is in background and all MP2 GUI elements are visible...

This was very tricky: the issue was introduced 4 month ago when I added a reset of GraphicsDevice in case of screen resolution changes. This cause an interruption in screen navigation: reset does release all GUI resources in meantime. I fixed this by adding a check that screen size or bit depth is really changed, or only the refresh rate (this case here). This fix is inside SkinEngine, so you should wait for a full installer.

wait for a full installer

I really do so, especially as I would like to get the new "Filter by AlbumArtist" filter...

Hi
Did an upgrade over the "New Years Weekly". All went well.

The new filter in Audio is great. Finally we are able to sort Sampler properly for the very first time:

The nasty issue with RRC is gone too...

But I got an "Out Of Memory" error in Fanart Handler Service, maybe a faulty jpg, don't know... Logs (both, Installation and regular) are attached.
