Somehow, randomly, I grabbed an SVN build and installed the other day and things started working. This didn't make sense, because the build claimed to be one I'd already tried, and I didn't understand why it started working.
When I spotted Beta 1 last night, I thought "great, that should include the fix, I'll update". I uninstalled all the svn revisions, threw on a clean install of Beta 1...and it didn't work. The log file looked the same.
Determined to work it through, I tried various combinations of install (portable mode, versus roaming mode), running as administrator (windows 7) etc. Nothing worked.
As a last ditch effort, I updated my ATI drivers from 9.8 to the latest 9.11 release...AND IT WORKS! At this point iPlayer went down for maintenance, so I've not been able to run more than a couple of videos yet, but I managed two cbeebies bedtime stories (shortest thing I could think to play) without a hang.
My current suspicion is I inadvertently grabbed an SVN build I'd already tried, but the OpenGL build, as opposed to DirectX. I think that's why it briefly worked, and then didn't, and why updating the ATI drivers and using the latest beta worked.
I'll do some more testing later and report back if I have the problem again, but it looks promising.
