XLobby http stops when I play a movie

[piper_chuck]

As the title says, when I play a movie, XLobby stops responding to http requests.

I've installed XLobby on the PC that will become my HTPC. I also installed Zoom Player. My goal is to be able to control the HTPC via a Web browser on a laptop. Someone on CocoonTech suggested I give XLobby a try. I start XLobby on the HTPC and then point the browser to it. Control of audio files is working well.

When I play a movie it starts on the HTPC, but I get a "The document contains no data" message from the browser. Subsequent attempts to do anything in the browser receive "The connection was refused when attempting to contact shuttle". Shuttle is the name of the HTPC. I have to exit and restart XLobby to do anything else.

The HTPC is running Windows MCE, XLobby, and Zoom Player. The laptop has Windows XP with Mozilla for a browser.

Does anyone know what might be wrong here?

Before I hit play, it's basically 0%. When I hit play there was a momentary spike to 91% and then it settles down to less than 10% for the remainder of the movie. When the movie is finished, it goes back down to zero.
