MediaInfo will then use the same splitter/codec as the playback of the media itself. LAV, the default codec for MediaPortal, is not concurrent friendly, which then causes locks to occur. Even on a super fast system this will cause stutter/delay/etc, and it only happens when concurrent access is happening, as in right at the start. You can switch to a concurrent codec, such as the original stand-alone MPC-HE ones, or adjust your methods so that no concurrent access occurs to begin with. It is less of an issue when MediaPortal and the mediafile itself are on SSD with high IOPS, but that is never the case on most DAS/NAS solutions due to the protocol overhead from for example Samba.</blockquote>
