[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1007795, member: 18896"] Rename the MediaInfo.DLL to something else, so that both MediaPortal and Moving-Pictures can not use it. See MePo does all the playback for MovPic by default (unless u configure an external player) and it uses MediaInfo right before playback to verify some details needed to adjust things. For example if you enable IPC then MePo needs to know if the movie is 24fps, so it can adjust your TV to 24Hz. However MediaInfo then relies on the same codecs/splitter to read the file and get this info when playback is also starting. This then causes a conflict when the codec is not multi-thread compatible, such as LAV. Normally this is not a problem, but it can be, as is the case with you. Also look into all your plugins as to what tasks they perform in the background. For example MovPic and MP-TVSeries can look for new files and import them while you are playing another movie, or they look for missing artwork.
