[Bug] Screen flashes and MP2 locks-up (1 Viewer)

Had this on HTPC yesterday again, while navigating through GUI

At that point attach a debugger to the .exe and check if some threads are in deadlock. It could give really good pointer to Albert for solving the issue.

Well, there won't be a deadlock, but I think the animation engine runs amok, would be good to check if there is an animation running repeatingly and which component puts that animation into the animation queue.

I just though since complete application locks up then the main thread (or input thread) could be deadlocking with the rendering thread. In any case it is worth to check for the deadlock even if it is really unlikely. Saves a lot of your time to know that.

It's "only" the screen/rendering that has issues: you see few (3?) frames repeating endlessly, this is causing the flickering.

But input handling and navigation is still working (i.e. you hear input clicks, logfiles also shows navigation between screens)
