[QUOTE="will_ssi, post: 1152001, member: 155019"] Hi MP community, Appologies that my first post here is to seek help. I've been using MP 1.6, server and client, happily for over a year (you can see my system specs), so I want to thank the community for providing MP. I recently had a hardware failure that corrupted my OS system files to the point where a format and reinstall was necessary (Win7 x64). Now that I've reinstalled, I'm considering a different front-end for one reason: timeshifting videos while subs were displayed crashed the front end almost 100% of the time. That's crash crash, as in MP's crash handler would pop up. It didn't matter whether I was viewing recorded TV (ATSC) or downloaded videos using different wrappers (.mp4, .avi) with external .srt files. If I timeshifted it while the subs were displayed, in MP, MP crashed. Pausing the video while subs were displayed would freeze the MP front end ~50% of the time. I googled around, couldn't find an answer, and so we learned to turn off subs before timeshifting. I was using MP 1.6 very conventionally, as a single-seat OTA PVR (ATSC, I'm on mainland US) using mc2xml and grabbing subs from the OTA steam through the server config. I had a set of folders it scanned for external videos I downloaded into it, and a blu-ray player integrated into the build with PowerDVD 10 handling the decrypt-playback. It worked as a great front-end for everything but Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/HBOGo. I saved a bunch of logs from the crash, but they were all on the OS drive that was reformatted last night. If it helps, I was using the [I]standard[/I] release of K-Lite Codec Pack v10.something, which I installed before MP1.6 so that any codec-specific changes made by the install would stick. I default to ffdshow, and I tried [I]all[/I] the different codec and filter options for video rendering, none helped. Also, this problem was only in MP. Using Media Player Home Cinema, we never had an issue with subs. I recall from the logs that the error was related to the drawing, caching and clearing of 'graphs'. [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/timeshifting-crashes-tswriter-ax.30344/page-4']This thread[/URL] might be related, but I don't know. So here's my question: is this a known issue, and is there a way to handle it? Now that I'm reinstalling, I'm considering a different front end like Kodi. The thing is, I really don't want to switch from MP, especially since development has continued on MP1. Sorry for the wall-o-text. [/QUOTE]
