Hey guys,
 
I am noticing if I have PrecisionX 16 running in the background while using Media Player Classic for watching, it causes MPC to crash, freeze, and or skip. If i close PrecisionX 16 completely and run MPC, it runs fine.
 
Has anyone had this issue before and does anyone have solutions for this issue?

Thanks.

What are the Error Codes and Errors listed in your Event Viewer?

Same thing for me....but it's not a problem with Bonjour.
 
I try to reinstall MPC, or Precision X, ...change version of MPC, always the same problem, MPC freeze!
 
If i close Precision X, MPC work like a charm like before. (Never had a problem with MPC)
 
Thanx for your help!

I have this bug with MPC for long time now.....hope EVGA correct that, p*** me off!
 
Don't want to use MSI Afterburner stuff, i like the Precision X soft.

 
And don't want to change MPC too.
 
Thx
 
ciao

EVGA has ignored user bug/crash reports for PrecisionX for months now.
 
Uninstall PrecisionX and try MSI Afterburner and see if the same issue happens. My game crashes were fixed by doing this, and I'll bet that your MPC crashes will be as well.

Thanx guys!
 
I know MSI Afterburner work with no prob. But, i like the Precision X soft. Everybody tell me that EVGA have a super customer support. So i try this forum to address a problem with Precision X.
I don't have the EVGA Precision server install, or i am blind and miss this icon in my system tray.
 
For now i close Precision X...when i think about it....before i star a movie with MPC.
 
EVGA: Please please please fix this.

 All you need to do is open the EVGA Precision server and add the programs "exe" that you are having trouble with to the list. It is a separate program running in the tray by the clock, you may need to click the up triangle to show hidden icons. There are two of them now a 32 & 64 bit.
 It crashes ton's of programs, like Word, Excel, windows media player, VLC Player, etc.. Also crashes games like windows solitaire and Zuma.
They should make it where you pick the games and apps you want it to work on, or make a better list of the one's it does not work on.

Thanks racerx14! it worked! JeffreyQC, I followed his advice and it solved my issue.

Did you turn OSD on, like I said? Once you turn it on, a new icon should show in the tray. Then, just add the executables to the exclusion list in that program, and see if it works. Follow the steps exactly as I wrote them. That way, you'll have no compromises.

My mistake! Thank you very much racerx14 ...and JacobKlein for open my eye! I've been going crazy me too, over this issue. Now i can watch movie with MPC with Precision X running. No more freeze!
 

I had this same issue with 3 different media player programs.  Added them to the exclusion list and so far it seems to have worked. 

I haven't tried 5.3.5 yet if the problem persists I'll give it a go.  I didn't get a chance to try out 5.3.3 while watching video for very long with an exception made for Media player classic.

Thank you so much. I thought I may have to watch the videos on a tablet instead. *shudder*

Same problem here in Windows 10, For now I went back to version 5.3.5 of PrecisionX 16 until they resolve the issue.

Yep, here are the same steps, listed a little differently, for a workaround that should do the trick:
 
=====================================
OSD is still erroneously interfering with processes, even when it is turned off!

Here is a tedious workaround to prevent the issue:
- Click "OSD" to temporarily turn it on
- Find the new "Server" icon in your system tray, and double click it to open it
- Use the "Add" button, to add all of your game/application executables to this "OSD Exclusion list"
- Click OK to close the "Server" window
- Click "OSD" to turn it back off again
- Exit Precision X, and then re-open it
- Test to see if your game/application works now without OSD making it misbehave

Basically, for my main games (Hearthstone and iRacing), I have to add them to this "OSD Exclusion list" for them to work properly, even when OSD is off. It's a royal pain of a bug, but so far, the tedious workaround prevents the issue from happening.

EVGA: Please please please fix this. When OSD is off, it should not be interfering with processes!
=====================================

A moot 'fix' for those who don't use OSD or the server application provided.

Thanks.

Was having the exact same issue... I thought something was wrong with my codecs, or maybe when I'd installed DivX it messed up something. I tried so many different things including a fresh install of Windows, never suspected it could be PrecisionX (especially because I had the OSD disabled completely). After I installed PrecisionX on the fresh Windows install, I noticed that video players were STILL not working right, and that was when I finally realized what the real problem was... Closed out of PrecisionX and every video player works flawlessly. It doesn't just affect MPC either, EVERY video player, even PowerDVD and Totalmedia Theater is affected. Also affected is embedded video on sites like Youtube, Netflix and HBO GO, unless you disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player and Sliverlight. It also causes EA Origin's in-game overlay to not work.
 
Best to just uninstall PrecisionX and roll back to an older version of it (AFAIK this overlay glitch affects 5.3.7 and 5.3.6), or use MSI Afterburner until EVGA fixes this. I can't trust software with a feature that causes problems with other software, even when it's disabled.
