[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 829688, member: 103549"] Update Now replaced failing (stock cooler fan issue) 1.1.3 in home made AMD solution with XS35GT-V2. Updated TV server from 1.1.3 to 1.2.2 (problem with it wanting WMP 11, just skip that step) which was then 100% clean. Did break the codec setup at one point (teach me not to fiddle) - installed SAF, resulted in sound drop out/sync or no video on jump forward (now this could simply be down to my setting - not pointing fingers). Re-installed CCCP and set codecs as follows: Video. MPEG-2 LAV Video Decoder H.264 - ffdshow DXVA Video Decoder MPEG/AC3 audio decoder - LAV Audio Decoder ACC audio decoder - ffdshow A dui Decoder Audio renderer - Default Direct Sound Device (set to HDMI) TV MPEG-2 - MPC-MPRG-2 Video Decoder (Gabtest) H.264 - ffdshow DXVA Video Decoder MPEG/AC3 audio decoder - ffdshow Audio Decoder LATM ADD+ audio decoder - Microsoft DVT-DVD Audio Decoder ACC audio decoder - MONOGRAM AAC Decoder Audio renderer - Default Direct Sound Device (set to HDMI) DVD - not installed a DVD in unit, so left as default. Tested video on 1) Large (30G) MKV (so very little compression). 2) Small (4G) MKV at 1080p (so very high compression). 3) My own MKV files (HDContertToXvid) creations. 4) mp4 files. All work well, some tearing if I scan a long way into file, but otherwise AOK. Plugins - ONLY BBC Weather. Skin - Avalon (latest) - as this supports BBC weather nicely. Performance - scrolling and screen updates in menu's is a lot slower than my AMD rig (but as whole unit, with external NAS now consumes less power than the CPU alone [45 watt unit] in previous unit, it's acceptable). Problem in 1.1.3 (and 1.2.0 I think) that folder.jpg not displayed for network shares is fixed (Cord.dll was released but not require). Music - playing now, no problems with it (did think there was problem when it reported a MP3 with 3 times its actual duration, but that's the MP3 that's broken - windows thinks it's got weird bit rate, then cock's up duration). TV - given it's SD over main ethernet (and not even the fast stuff), seems fine - possible could of video lags this morning but that could have been the source, will monitor. Running taskmgr via RDP, playback on video runs the CPU's to between 40 % 60%, RAM never goes over 1.2G (have 4 installed). Tested sleep & recover from remote - works well, does not seem to need the 'restart MP on system wake' setting. Overall, very satisfied for the moment - would recommend this system for anyone wanting 'simple' front end - would not suggesting running a full fat (fan art, moving pictures, etc etc) MP set up however. Hope this is some use. J [/QUOTE]
