Stop the bickering please. FWIW I'm having the same issue with Panda Dome 22.03.05. As you say, the main service keeps stopping and then restarting. I have updated the Windows root certificates and cleared the Windows temp folder. The first instance of a crash was yesterday, 2nd July, at 1312 my time. There are other symptoms on my system, which may or may not be related. Windows Explorer is locking up quite often. It always recovers after being frozen, but it can take a couple of minutes. The taskbar is completely frozen during that time, although I can still open windows like My Computer. I have done a manual pattern update of Panda Dome, which did work. I haven't tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, as far as I'm concerned that would be the very last resort. I'd be very surprised if this were the start of any withdrawal of Windows XP support, in fact, Panda make a big thing of the fact that it is still compatible with XP! https://www.pandasecurity.com/en/mediacenter/best-antivirus-for-windows-xp/ Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a support forum for Panda Dome, only the usual chat options.

Please do, Mr. Iwearblackglassesinthemiddleofthenight. I don't see any other antivirus available for XP anymore, do you? Your analysis would also be needed to fix Avast and its belabouring of the Client Server Runtime Process (csrss) service. I find Avast better than any other really because of its 3 point protection. In the meanwhile I purged and re-instated all certificates, 2x uninstalled Panda with their uninstaller.exe and clean-installed 22.03.01 (22.03.05 is slow to start here too). So far so good.

Thanks but I am not interested in workarounds. Either the forum editor is able to process code syntax in the dedicated code block or it is simply unusuable and crap.

@jumper Try the regular DOS command start with paramrter min and "" and cmd with slash c followed by ffplay -autoexit -vf subtitles=filename=\'"Adele - Easy On Me (Live at the NRJ Awards 2021).mp4"\' "Adele - Easy On Me (Live at the NRJ Awards 2021).mp4". I have to write this way as otherwise I get a 403 forbidden.

Subject: Panda Dome I had a few brief issues with Panda Dome 22.03.05 today. The PSANHost.exe process crashed three times. A quick restart after clearing all temporary files, and everything is back to normal. The PSANHost.exe process, which is part of Panda Dome, is known for causing problems from time to time, but to use that as a reason to declare Panda Dome’s demise - as has been celebrated in another thread here - is completely unfounded and lacks any factual basis. Problems with this process often occur when updates are being downloaded in the background from the Panda server. And you don't have to reinstall Panda Dome right away. First, a thorough analysis is necessary. Anything else is just amateurish, unscientific chit-chat. Anyway! Panda Dome has been running completely normally again for hours.

Ok. Thanks! This one is working again. So it seems it really was a subtitle issue. I suppose that was due to your "scaling down to basic" since it didn't occur in version 8.1. Anyway! I'm looking forward to your next releases and perhaps one day a "scaling up to standard".

It's no longer even possible to enter simple, harmless DOS code in the forum editor. Not in the text area, not as a code block, and not as a quote. No longer a forum for coders who want to post their code, or must.

@autodidact When testing, please use this command: I think it is a problem showing the embedded subtitle in version 8.2 as the standard command without subtitle works: Maybe you can bring yourself to build your releases the way you always have in the past. BTW, the MSFN editor is such a piece of junk. To inject this code into my post, is an absolute nightmare. I had to simplify my command. MSFN seems to consider completely harmless DOS commands to be dangerous.

Unfortunately, the problem persists. I downloaded the video with same yt-dlp options once again. Same behaviour. Your ffplay.exe opens and immediately closes. Here is my suggestion. I'll send you a PM with a link to the video file, and you can test it in-depth on your system. Ok? If you need the yt-dlp log generated while downloading the video, do not hesitate to ask for it here.

Thanks for all your efforts! I'll test that when I'm back at my Windows XP computer.

That's why I thought you were using a static IP. But if you can get a new IP via power-cycling, then your IP is of course assigned dynamically, and, however, you are then also able to reconnect by different options, a reconnect tool, a self-created script or whatever. BTW, my reconnect batch file uses curl.exe, and my router can even be reconnected by an Android app. If you wonder why a reconnect is such important, the answer is easy. Once your current external IP is blacklisted by a website or service, you need to reconnect your router or establish a VPN connection and delete your cookies and cache logically first. This is, of course, age-old knowledge, and I’ve been doing it this way for decades. BTW, I never had any problems connecting to https://o.rthost.win.

You can try to change the user agent in your wget options. And just to be on the safe side, change your IP address. No problems here when downloading with New Moon, Serpent or Mypal 78 from o.rthost.win. Nihil in aeternum durat.
