Windows firewall is turned off. More hassle than worth. I can check the hosts file tomorrow. I'll set up a port sniffer on outgoing connections. Is there a certain port it uses?
I've attached snips if this helps. The hosts file is empty and MS firewall turned off. I found a stray Cyberlink service that would fail immeditately after starting. I removed it thinking V22 needed to install it (PDVD12 did). It was not reinstalled during a fresh install of V22.

It did attempt to make connections to several remote hosts. But, it also attempted to connect to a service running locally which failed (timed out).

I did get one error during install with the MS Edge logo. I'm sorry but I don't have Edge installed. It's a bit like contracting syphillis. It sounds like a good idea at the time but later on bites you where it hurts the most.

When launching PDVD22 it successfully connects to two remote hosts, 35.167.232.77 and 75.52.84.210. Once a mode (PC or TV) is chosen it establishies a successful connection to 35.83.160.96.

It then attempts to connect to a local service on 127.0.0.1 (localhost). This is where it hangs and ultimately barfs.

I've tried to ping these remote hosts but I suspect ICMP is turned off as all requests time out.
I have my router's firewal configured to allow outgoing connection on all but a few ports, none of which are used by PDVD. It is however configured to refuse incoming connection on ports I have not specified. There should be no reason for a remote host to establish an incoming connection with any system on my network unless I have specifically allowed it.
Tell me what I should be looking for and I will get it done. I'd like to resolve this issue. Since I bought PDVD12 I have not used much else (well, VLC, MPC HC, MPC BE and ZoomPlayer). If we can figure this out I will likely upgrade, but, it has to work with my test Blu Rays first. One defaults to the audio commentary (useless) and the other fails AACS which I can't update in V12.
I've been in IT in some capacity or another since the implementation of CP/M so I'm not your average consumer. Tell me what I should look into and I will make it happen. I don't like losing and I'm not one to give up.
