Intermittent video playback problems

[LowEntropy]

I've had problems with my video playback (gbpvr v0.96.12) locking up and/or freezing during replay of recorded shows. This can happen with fast forwarding (rewinding, etc) or right in the middle of play. Sometimes it doesn't freeze/restart the system altogether but subsequent menu navigation takes a long time (requiring a system restart).

I've also found a sample of the error messages in the gbpvr.exe.log (below)

Video, would that be avi or recorded mpg?

[LowEntropy]

In response...

HtV: this issue is with mpeg files

tipstir: I'll remove the My Pictures plugin and see what happens

Thanks again

Yep, do what tipstir says - remove the MyPictures plugin
