Jonas Thanks, I'm going to go with the thumnail route from now on. It almost seems like I have two separate issues, I think u just solved the choppy playback. The second part of my problem is the watchout logo popping up randomly. It has done this while I'm not even touching the computer. I have eliminated the switch, I have a new cat5 going directly between both units which I actually tested. It's extremely random. Again thanks everyone for your help I'm new to Watchout.

Hey thanks everyone, so I press the space bar and 90% of the time the timeline indicator didn't move, just nothing happens. The other 10 percent of the time the time line indicator moves for a second or two and it's just black then the indicator stops and this is sometimes followed by the display computer watchout logo popping up. I'm running the most current version of watchout available. The videos are all encoded in watchout approved codecs ect. The video does play a little choppy on the master/show machine occasionally. I can try the thumbnail route. One thing is this happens completely randomly and sometimes I do a complete show with no issues. Thanks everyone! !

I'm working on a show where when I press the space bar to roll a video cue it just doesn't play. Sometimes it takes multiple times pressing the space bar to play. I just bought another wired keyboard to eliminate that being a possibility. It will do this randomly in shows where nothing has changed. Sometimes everything works fine, sometimes it doesn't. I optimized the system per the tweak list. I'm playing HD files and the system drive and watchout media files are on seperate partitions but on the same drive. I'm cat5 directly to master cpu to the display cpu. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
