I have just upgraded to v 316 and also added a large directory to the library which now contains some 50K entries. I am running from an admin account on XP (Home) and have 512K Ram on a 2.6Ghz machine with very little else running. In various (most) scenarios MediaPlayer is suddenly going to 100% CPU and has to be forcibly terminated.
I read the post re admin accounts , and this is one, and I have also used run as.. to run the application in another Admin account. I have applied the SetBurningRights patch for all users. I am not seeing related entries in the admin system events log I don't think although there are a few things going on there that I am not sure of (informational)and anonymous user logins/outs.
If for example I start MC9 and then right click 'play' an mp3 track title it will play fine.CPU goes to 100% but drops back to about 5% after a few secs. If I double click an mp3 track title then it plays still but now cpu at 100% and no way out.
Any ideas ??
