Miro Causes Computer to Crash
Hello everyone. I've been using Miro since it was called Democracy Player. I've loved Miro as it provided a great way for me to watch podcasts. Anyway, about a month ago, I had reinstalled Windows on my computer so I had to reinstall Miro too. After I reinstalled Miro I noticed though that if I pause a video and go on to preform other tasks, after a while my computer will crash. The screen will go blank and try to come back on but it usually fails and shuts down. Other times my computer will display the infamous Blue Screen of Death and then shutdown. I've never had this issue before now. I tried reinstalling Windows again thinking that would help but the problem still occurs. I have an HP Pavilion DV6636NR with Windows Vista Home Premium and an NVIDIA GeForce 7150M graphics card. I have the latest driver installed for my graphics card and all the latest patches for my OS. This problem doesn't occur with any other video playing program (VLC, iTunes, etc.) but then again I use Miro the most. If anyone has a solution to my problem I would be eternally grateful if you'd help me.
P.S. I've also used Miro on Linux Ubuntu (8.04 and 8.10) with the same computer and I haven't experienced the problem on there.

Inappropriate?Did you use the same miro version and vista before reinstallation on the same notebook?
f you activate the resume at last video position and stop the videos, do you experience the same crashes after clicking play to resume the playback?
I had a similar problem with x server crashes and after a update of xorg and the driver it was fixed. But it was not reproducible.1 Comment

"Did you use the same miro version and vista before reinstallation on the same notebook?"
Yes, I believe so. I was using Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 and the latest version of Miro. I've used older versions of Miro and have not had this problem.
"f you activate the resume at last video position and stop the videos, do you experience the same crashes after clicking play to resume the playback?"
No, the crash only occurs a little while after pausing the video. -
Inappropriate?There was an update to 1.2.8 - if you want try the previous version 1.2.7 and when the result is the same I would suggest to fill a bugreport in bugzilla.
