Media Player Classic crashing on opening

[Blue_MiSfit]

Hey all,

Media Player Classic seems to frequently crash when opening files on my PC.

The player opens, and then hangs, with the "Stop" button selected. I can't click anything, and have to kill it through the task manager.

The frequency is inconsistent, sometimes I can watch 10-20 videos in a row without any problems, sometimes only one before it locks.

Often, this will happen several times in a row. I can't duplicate or fix it on a reliable basis.

Ideas?

This problem may be related to Reclock filter. If you use it, try to disable and see if this happen again.

I don't use Reclock. I have in the past and had similar problems.

I didnt post in the official forum because it's massive, and rather difficult to keep track of issues :)

Thanks for the replies though, guys!

I think my problem stems from the Haali renderer. When I use EVR (on XP) it doesn't seem to crash. However, EVR doesn't let me adjust luma ranges :(.

Any other ideas?

For me the symptom sounds like a Directshow coused overflow debug your filter chain and see if a filter is couseing a loop, use process explorer to analyse the current running threads when it hangs.
