I think (not sure) that MP 1.21p includes further work to cure this (or similar) problems. So it may be worthwhile trying MP 1.21p, if you have not yet exhausted all of your patience.

If MP 1.21p does not solve your problem, the workaround is probably not to leave the MP client running when you sleep or hibernate your system. This is how I use my HTPC, and I do not encounter these problems.

Remember that you can customise your remote control so that a button displays the "Exit" dialogue to close MP and exit to the Windows desktop. You can also use the START button on the remote to start MP from the Windows desktop.

If there are other members in the household, it may be difficult to train them to remember to use the HTPC in this way , so this suggestion is merely a workaround and not the solution.
