When i play some kind of video files (i don't know exactly wich types, but are some XVID encoded videos) it goes full screen and i can see it fine, but if i press X or stop, the screen goes black, i know that MP is still running because i can hear sound feedback when moving throgh the menus, but i can't see nothing. Same issue happens when launching games from My programs plugin (the game launch, i can play it, but when i closes the game, the screen is black and sometimes it shows corrupted graphics). I've tested it using exclusive DirectX mode and without using it... This only happens with latest SVNs. I have XVID codec installed, and this issue doesn't happen with other videos that i have (even if them are using the same encoding method). I hope that somebody can help with this issue...

Regards,

I seem to experiencing this for the first time now!
have 1 tft and 1 tv hooked up! Both are black!
When small window is active I can see the movie... fullscreen = black... but only with 1 movie!!!!

Media Player Classic plays movie ok!

In addition I found out that when I pause the movie and change the Pan&Scan settings and rotate until Im back @ normal settings it does work!! Very strange!
