crash after about 1h

[Anarin]

I have problem with bsplayer on windows 7 enterprise. Anything i watch (mkv, avi) after approximate 1 hour picture freeze sound keep going and i must open and end task bsplayer process.
I tryed to update codecs with codecmanager and still same problem. Any advices?

By any chance your computer sleep function it's activated ?

[BSPeter]

Perhaps a wild idea: could this have anything to do with your system's settings for energy-management (or any other event scheduled to happen after one hour of apparent user's inactivity)?

Edit BSPeter: adicoto just beat me

no - power usage is at maximum. I work with computers for 20 years so i tryed all and i cannot find problem.

here is longer explanation of problem -
i start movie and i watch it normaly. All codecs are updated and everything works fine. But after approximate 1 hour picture freeze but sound still work normaly (and i even waited few minutes sound work like movie continued) and i must start task manager to end task bsplayer as process. After restart i start movie i move to part where it stoped and i continue watch normaly. On other players it don't happend, i have fresh install of original windows 7 with all updates

Something steal acces to the videocard. So, either a power management or a screen saver or some setup in video drivers.
Do you use EVR as rendering engine ?
Tested another rendering methode (such as internal renderer overlay) ?
Which version of BSPlayer ?

Latest build is 2.58.1055, so first update to this build.

A new verison wont fix this problem, I'm struggling with this problem for half a year now! It takes about 30 minutes for problems to show up, if you pause and minimize bsplayer and try to use anything else, its very slow to respond, browser takes a minute to load up, mouse is laggy, its like everything wants to freeze, and if you got bored and close bsplayer everything turns back to normal! If you rewind and forward a lot (which I do) in a movie, you cant even complete a 53 minute series episode, because the video becomes laggy and it freezes up, but the sound keeps going on.
Its so annoying, I dont know if it happens to all of the video formats, what I know is it happens in AVIs and MP4s (350Mb, 700Mb, 1400Mb, 2000Mb -doesnt matter)
Windows 7 Enterprise, quad core, 4Gb ram, EVR rendering, no power saving, K-Lite codec pack (no bsplayer internal)

[adicoto]

The reason for which I asked to update it's that if this bug was fixed meanwhile (about 4-5 months), there is no reason to search deeper.
On the other hand, I have on my computer the latest version, so any help I can give it's based on the behaviour of the latest build.

On the other matter, I also use BSPlayer on a laptop with Win7, 2 GB RAM, Core2Duo@ 2 Ghz and I don't have such a behaviour, BSPlayer runs smooth with no problems files up to 1080p, no lagging, no browsing or multitasking problems, search or chapters in 8 GB MKV is no problem. Using internal renderer overlay. Search in keyframes disabled in genereal preferences. NO codecpack (as I allways advise)

Actually latest build is 2.58.1056β of 12-Aug-2011.
Latest non-beta version still is 2.57.1051 (Dec-2010) as used by Anarin.

Perhaps just another wild idea: is the option "Automatically upload subtitles" selected?
It's under (rightclick>)Options>Preferences>Subtitles>[Online subtitles].
(If you use online subs with this option selected, BS.Player will start upload when about 80% of the movie is played.)

Strange, I have 1055 from 12.08.2011
Downloaded 1056

1. Have you set BSplayer to internal renderer ? Because by default, it installs in EVR mode under Win7.
2. If you switched to another rendering option, is there any difference ?
3. Your videocard drivers are up to date ?

1. - yes i set to internal renderer
2. - i tryed to switch to EVR - still same (and couple of variants)
3. - latest video drivers
4. - uploading subtitles are switched off
5. - tryed with latest version from 12. august
6. - power settings are all on maximum

Any other ideas?

[adicoto]

My last ideea. Make a screenshot of processes runing in task manager before starting the movie and after BSPlayer stops displaying video. Compare them and see if there is a new process runing at that moment. No other ideeas.

Anarin do you have a Radeon video card? Because I think my problems started exactly when I switched to Radeon (HD6790)
Although there is no gpu activity while playing avis, so its just another guess!

[adicoto]

That could be related to video drivers or another setting in videocard.

no i have gtx560ti with latest drivers (i tryed to switch drivers 2-3 times but still nothing)

p.s. i tryed to play movies with VLC and POTplayer and no problems there, everything freeze just with BSplayer (several other friends said same stuff happends to them so they stoped using bsplayer)

[adicoto]

Just a thougth. Do you both have Windows 7 64 bit version ?
