Title: Trial quits Movie after ~1h playback
Post by: Moldov on February 14, 2012, 04:36:13 am: hi there

my trial installation quits playing a movie after aprox. 1h of playback...

is this a limitation?

with VLC no problems. so the file isnt corrupt

what about "The trial version has the full feature set."?

any help?

i want to buy this fantastic product...

best regards

This isn't something we've heard before.

Thanks.

i use my WHS as mediaserver, theres a service called Drive extender migrator or so.
this service ballances files across several HDs...
maybe the service tried to move the specific file while i'm watching... hm

i will deactivate the service and try again...

Post by: CountryBumkin on March 01, 2012, 01:18:28 pm: Could this be temperature related? Could your CPU or GPU be getting too hot and causing a shutdown or crash? Although I have never seen a program stop running due to temp - my computer has shut itself off for this issue (bad CPU fan) in the past.

Post by: MrHaugen on March 05, 2012, 03:29:15 am: My older Nvidia card blue screened on me a lot when it got to hot. My newer ATI card "only" gets a driver stop/restart when it gets to hot. So, it might be a case here as well. Not enough cooling, bad air flow etc. It could be worth checking out at least. Perhaps open up the PC, clean the ribbons on the CPU cooler, put a normal blowing fan next to it or something.

Post by: Moldov on March 07, 2012, 02:16:41 pm: no temp issue...
i can watch hours and hours with VLC... no problem
and in MC17 after freeze i can start again on the same scene and watch the movie to the end...

strange: after restart the movie and searching for the same scene the time is different!
- movie freeze at 59:15
- restart scene at 57:45
