Media Player Classic

[Jeremy]

I have DLL Authentication enabled in Sygate Personal Firewall Pro and MPC has reportedly attempted to send outgoing traffic 3 times during normal AVI playback in the last 36 hours.

Application has changed since the last time you opened it, process id: 1832

Filename: C:\Program Files\Media Player Classic\Media Player Classic.exe

The change was denied by user

---- Modules changed: 1 ----

C:\Program Files\Media Player Classic\Media Player Classic.exe

---- New modules: 0 ----

Severity = Major

Direction = Outgoing

Protocol = None

Remote Host = 0.0.0.0

Anything to be concerned about?

In the player go to View\Options\Tweaks

Check for the settings Send "Now Playing" ....

This is enabled by default and can be VERY embarrassing

depending on the title you're watching !

Such as pr0n?

I'm not into midgets, transvestites or watersports so I don't think it can be too bad, lol. For the record, I'm watching Star Trek TNG Seaon 4.

Both "Now Playing" options in tweaks are unchecked.

so that wasnt causing the Sygate warning .. thats all i can think of, sorry.

well the remote host is "0.0.0.0" so its not sending any traffic to the internet.

Makes me curious why Sygate would report anything at all, then...

Thanks, Dig. I should have known better.

My Media Player Classic is from the K-Lite codec pack, never had any problems with outgoing traffic...

its nothing major, but check

Player -> keys and uncheck the WinLIRC and uICE boxes (unless you have a controller that needs them)

and also check

Player -> Web Interface and look to see if you have the listen on port box checked or not.

hope this helps
