Title: Video Playback stops working when using RedOctober HQ
Post by: StFeder on March 27, 2012, 06:46:59 am

I'm playing around with some music videos right now. I start playing one, stop it, choose the next, play it, leave display view, tag some, stop it and so on. Normal work in MC.

But after playing very few videos (two or maximum three) MC hangs. I press stop, the video stops playing, the progress bar correctly shows nothing but the play button keeps showing the pause sign and the display shows "live". I'm not able to play any file in MC until I restart MC. Anything else works fine (tagging, browsing etc).

This is what it looks like when MC isn't able to play anything:

I'm using red october hq. As far as I see the video file type doesn't effect this.

edit: double click normally starts playing the clicked file instantly for me, while MC is "live", the double clicked file is just added next behind to the "live" file which is still marked as the file being played (the green arrow still appears there)

Are the files on a network drive?

It happens with all types of video files. VideoClock, Hardware accelration and normalizing volume doesn't effect this.

But changing from Red October HQ to Red October Standard solves this issue.
