[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1284234, member: 141969"] Thank you for looking at the logs. :) There are three different video sizes involved here: [LIST] [*]The TV recording is 704x576 (standard definition). [*]The skin is 1280x720. [*]The TV screen is 1920-1080. [/LIST] However, although the recording is SD, it [i]is[/i] wide screen, so should fill the TV screen. o_O (But see below.) I have never really believed that MP could sleep or hibernate correctly with video running, or with MP running, which is why I always exit MP to the desktop before hibernating the system. :D I have just started MP again and tried to play "Click", which this time succeeded (as expected -- no screen saver action involved). Comparing the logs is interesting. With the editor that I use, I can have both old and new logs in the editing ring, and alternate between them rapidly using a function key. If the scroll positions are synchronised, it makes it very easy to spot differences. The line that you identified is identical in both logs -- the DirectShow Util call fails in both logs. However, there is a difference elsewhere. The following lines are present in the log which is successful, but missing from the log which failed (for context: the first two lines shown and last two lines shown are present in both logs; it is the lines in between that are missing from the failed log): [code][INFO ] - RefreshRateChanger.AdaptRefreshRate: 'auto refreshrate changer' disabled [INFO ] - g_Player.Play(R:\Media Portal TV\Click (BBC News) 2021-05-08 01.30.00.ts Recording) [INFO ] - Loading external players plugins [INFO ] - found plugin:MediaPortal.WinampPlayer.WinampPlugin in C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Plugins\ExternalPlayers\ExternalPlayers.dll [INFO ] - player:Winamp. author: int_20h [INFO ] - found plugin:MediaPortal.ITunesPlayer.ITunesPlugin in C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Plugins\ExternalPlayers\ExternalPlayers.dll [INFO ] - player:iTunes. author: Frodo [DEBUG] - PlayerFactory: Successfully created player instance for file - R:\Media Portal TV\Click (BBC News) 2021-05-08 01.30.00.ts [INFO ] - TSReaderPlayer play:R:\Media Portal TV\Click (BBC News) 2021-05-08 01.30.00.ts radio:False[/code] So, it is the "Loading external players" lines that are missing from the failed log. Does this give a clue as to the cause of the problem? PS: The successful log has the same weird video size as the failed log, so my previous guess was completely wrong! :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
