Phantom MC Process and Odd DLNA Behavior
« on: December 08, 2012, 03:40:06 pm »

Mostly doing well with MC18 on Win7 x64 with OPPO BDP-103. Am very happy, having ripped my entire multichannel DVD-A colletion to flac files and am able to stream them multichannel via DLNA to my home theater.

I do have a couple of rather odd problems and am wondering if anyone else has seen this or has any ideas.

1) MANY times (but not always), when I close the MC18 main window on the PC, it leaves the MC18 browser pane on the screen and a phantom process running in the background. I have to kill the phantom in Task Manager, which in turn closes the stray browser. Since I usually run the DLNA server, I then have to restart the DLNA server. After that, things are fine until I again use the interactive application...lather, rinse, repeat. Any ideas?

2) I have streaming of 5.1 flacs to my Oppo working great, except ONE weird behavior. When I stop a song or complete an album, when I select "up one directory" on the Oppo, it seems to not get a response. I have to come up and stop/restart the DLNA server. (...which is more than a tad self-defeating - since the whole point is to NOT make me have to manually switch media) Otherwise, browsing is working great.

1.  Are you using build 90?  It's at the top of this board.

2.  Please check Oppo for firmware updates. 

We're probably going to buy an Oppo.  Which one do you have?

Thanks,

I am using 18.0.78. I will give another build a try.

I have the BDP-103 with the latest firmware. It has been fabulous.
It is amazing what you can do when you put decent computing horsepower in a device like this one.

Put build 90 on and that took care of both issues.

Now if I could convince the DLNA server to convert ONLY ALAC files and NOT flac files, I would be in heaven.
