Title: Playing .mp4 files hangs Media Center and Ubuntu Server 18.04 with xfce GUI
Post by: marcerickson on June 03, 2020, 09:04:56 pm

As the title says.  MC plays the first couple of seconds of audio and may or may not put up a still from the beginning of the video.  And that's it.  I can't kill it, can't open a terminal to kill it - nothing.

Update to 26.0.87 and report back, we've done a lot of work on the video renderer there, there is a good chance that it'll improve!
