Again, watchdog really should not have any impact on the player functionalities.
The disconnected XMR however and related to it I’d imagine the NetMQ exception might.
You rename the watchdog The Windows Player automatically restarts itself / Windows Player Watchdog
so it does not start with the player,
you start the player and that’s what you see on the status?
Does it logs anything else?
Is there just one player instance running when you look in windows task manager?
Just to confirm and for me to try and recreate it, what CMS and player versions are you using please?
From memory, you had 1.8.2 docker installation, is that still correct or is it 1.8.3 now with the players in the same version?
Is the XMR correctly configured? with docker you should only need to provide public xmr address in CMS settings, from the looks of it players can’t reach it at all.
