When I run a smartlist slideshow that has both .mov video files and .jpg image files, the slideshow stops after the video file finishes running.  Specifically, the .mov plays all the way through, the next .jpg appears on the screen but the slideshow won't proceed from there.  The player display shows that the play button needs to be depressed.  When I hit play, the slideshow resumes until the next .mov to .jpg transition.  I have checked every setting that I can find, compared file properties, etc, but I can't find anything unusual.  I love this media player but I do play a lot of slideshows and this is the one problem that I would like to have solved.  If you have a suggestion, I would sure like to hear it.  Thanks

Is MC set to play mov files with Quicktime?  Newer versions of MC can play it natively.

Yes, Quicktime .mov files is selected.  The media player plays the file just fine, the problem arises when playing a smartlist slideshow.
During the slideshow, the .mov file plays then the next file that is a .jpg shows on the laptop screen but the slideshow stops.  I can resume the slideshow and it will play until the next .mov to .jpg transition.  Thanks for getting back with me.

To clarify, I have the newest version of media center 21 and the Quicktime files appear to automatically be a part of the numerous types of files that the MC can play.  There is a selection for file association that I have both selected and deselected for both the .mov and the .jpg files with no success.
