I've read through your write-up, and I have the impression that you are a bit confused on how data moves around. So let's try to level set. For CME: NAS <-> MM <-> MM API <-> CME --> NAS <-> CMC CME pings the My Movies API for data, most of which comes from the MM DB, but MM will scan your NAS folde...

When I stopped the SQL Server I got this ... It's saying to executereader in the Y: folder I'm pretty sure that's a reference to the developer's PC's drives. I believe Binnerup has (had?) a team of developers, and they're likely working off of a shared network drive, mapped as Y:, so that path is t...

Why does MM have to login so many times to the NAS? Last look it would log in twice for one title. This is what I mentioned earlier about the Dune data. It's scanning the media folder to determine if it is (going from memory) online or offline, media type, etc., and it passes this data in the XML f...

Excellent! Great detective work and troubleshooting, I'm impressed. The possibility of an incorrect date/time crossed my mind, but you beat me to the punch. I'll file this away in my mind to perhaps help other users in the future, thanks! The occasional hang is most likely a server or drive being sp...

I don't know that either Cinema or PC mode are better than the other. It's really a preference - I prefer Cinema. But I suggested this as it could help explain why your manual launch results differ from CMC launched results. I think the blanking is related to hardware acceleration kicking in on the ...

When did you upgrade to CMC v7? I was released at the end of October. Display drivers might be related, they could have been updated. Did you recently update PowerDVD? Change a PowerDVD setting? One of your TV settings may have been changed. Perhaps it is scanning the inputs. I've got an Optoma proj...

Any chance you are using CMC's display refresh rate feature? Perhaps CMC is changing the refresh rate, and that's freaking out the TV.

When you open MMCM on both the old and new PC's, do you notice a speed difference as you browse your collection? Regarding the NAS staying in standby when you use the new PC, this may indicate an issue between My Movies Collection Management and the NAS. When CCC retrieves data, it retrieves it dire...

That's very odd, and I've never had anyone else report this issue. What version of CMC and what version of PowerDVD? Does it happen with DVDs, Blu-rays, and/or 4K UHD discs? Please enable Debug Logging in CMC, then play a movie. Then you can turn off Debug Logging. In the CMC Logs folder will be som...

Any chance your Win10 PC was upgraded from Win7? While the remote that came with the receiver is an RC6 remote, I'm not sure that the receiver is RC6. Seems like it might be something else, and requires special drivers. I believe these drivers came with Win7, and auto-installed. Might be that you up...
