Series won't play without subtitles

Markam · 2008-05-25, 09:06

Hi there I have a problem. I have a couple of tv series without subtitle and for some reason MP won't play them. At first I didn't know why it didn't play the episodes. When I give an episode a sub (any sub) it will play. Very strange.
I have installed Klite codec "lots of stuff" on top of that the haali media splitter (otherwise the mkv's would not work) and on top of that XPcodec pack (I installed the last one before I found out it was a subtitle problem).
I know this isn't the best codec setup, but it works for me. With only ffdshow, directvobsub, ac3 and haali my htpc won't play anything.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this? Maybe it's just a setup thingy in the codecs but I have no idea.
