Here it is a HD playlist with high quality 1080p videos.

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/play ... 0D1C31B747

Episodes 1/5, Part 1/3 through 5 make some trouble. But as I said before everything goes OK after manually deleting the IE cache directory.
1. I repeated the problem, test transcoding stopped for about 90 seconds
2. I deleted cache files.
3. Now I can not repeat the problem in various combinations.

You known of any sequence of actions which leads to the problem ?
I cannot recall any particular reasons.
Sometimes it just happens while TV’s trying to start playing the next item in the row. (I’ve set up my TV to play all items in the current folder). Other times I cause the problem by premature stopping the playback or trying to go forward or backward through the list. Sometimes it happens to items I’ve already played successfully.
I tried to debug the problem by setting breaking points through the transcoding profile and noticed that when everything goes alright encoder receives a pipe to the media resource. But when the problem occurs it receives an URL to handle.
I hope this may help you to go all down to where the problem stems from.
Regards!

Hello Eugene,
Any progress on the subject?
In addition to previous observations the problem always turns up when I start playing Youtube items and let the TV to automatically play all of them. After the last item the TV tries to open the first one and this time it fails. At this point I clear IE’s cache by manually deleting all VIDEOPLAYBACK* files through all subdirectories in “Temporary Internet files” folder. After that everything works fine again. I presume that when a device requests an already played item wininet.dll tries to use a cached copy which sometimes is only a left over particle from a previous download. The weird part of all is that the IE’s cache is disabled and still wininet.dll caches files.
Regards.
