Mine crashed as soon as it starts scanning the media. It does play okay if I double a file for example.
In my case, I was upgrading from Powerdvd 13. What was odd that there seemed to be no clean way to deinstall powerdvd 13 after powerdvd 14 was installed. I ran the clcleaner thing for powerdvd 13. Maybe that did something bad to 14. By the way, from what I can the clcleaner did not do a good job. I had startup programs, services and all sorts of right click explorer context menu items "play with cyberlink 13" left around. I manually cleaned all that out.
I just did a uninstall / install of powerdvd ultra 14 again. Now at least it is actually reading all of the files in My Music, etc... Took a real time to build database as my ITunes collection is large. Ultimately, it works fine. Music plays okay, videos okay, Blu-Ray played okay. I have not tried to use DLNA. I probably won't bother as I have Media Center. I did have a crash when playing through Media Center plugin. I'll have to try that again but it's no big deal to me.
Seems to me that the upgrade process needs to be improved for upgrades. I really would like a way to cleanly remove the previous version. Also, I would love to know how to get rid of some remnants of powerdvd 12. I think that was pre-installed with a media suite 11.
Again, the upgrade process really is not simple. But hopefully it will run.
