The "preferred player" usually only affects the applications associated with a file name extension type.
What could cause problems if MCE has a small background process running all the time (e.g. to initiate some time related event). It's been a while but I remember having to disable options which started MCE at system startup and any Quick start options. However you could check if MCE is part of the problem by starting MCE and playing a program on the DVB and then stop playing. Start vlc GUI, open Messages window and set verbosity to 1 or 2. Then try to play a dvb stream. If error then stop MCE and try vlc again - if necessary restart vlc to see if error goes away. Wireless is unlikely to be a problem - SBS will rebuffer first rather then stop. If the stream from vlc was somehow backing up for some reason then vlc will stop since the "pipe" between vlc and flac/lame is full. In this case vlc may shut down badly - which may leave some sort of zombie process. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21804 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
