by balemon on Wed Oct 10, 2007 9:42 pm I've had this issue since Xlobby has added the internal movie player. It seems that when I play some movies and most TV series Xlobby will lock up. It isn't really noticed till the video is finished or if you exit the video before it's finished. 99% of what I watch is in XVid format and the previews are in MOV format. The previews don't cause an issue. I can watch them buy the bucket loads and XLobby doesn't lockup. If I watch Stargate that is in XVid. Even a single episode locks Xlobby.
I am using Zoomplayer v5 and Would like to keep using it because of the ability to view movie previews before a movie.
I've tried using different versions of FFDShow and XVid. I have tried using MPC and the issue doesn't seem to be there. So it would seem there is some issue between Xlobby, Zoomplayer and certain codecs. I'm happy to set up so someone can get access to video that causes lock ups for me. And I can go through the complete setup of my system if there is any confusion here. I've listed info below that I think is relevant. Something else. I have never been able to get the internal player to work at all. While I'm not a genius with computers. I do know my way around them and as long as it's not programming, I can solve most issues (google is my friend
)Xlobby - using default skin.

If anyone can help. I would be happy to use MPC if I could get previes to work with MPC. The other thing I would like to have running is Xlobby on Win 2003 server. (Sorry not a big fan of XP)
Thanks
