Hi all,
Here's my problem. After reinstalling my htpc, I installed Media Portal 0.2.2. Installation went fine but I am unable to play any video (.avi, .mkv). I also installed the latest satsuki decoder pack.
The wierdest thing is I can play any file I want with Windows Media Player 11.
I found several entries in the error log saying "[ERROR] [MPMain]: PlaylistPlayer: *** unable to play - file path - skipping track!".
Am I missing something ?
Thx in advance for your help.

David.

but no video playback under MP

Had a problem with FFDShow TRYOUT, where upon installing if you did not untick the "limit which programs can use FFDShow" I had no playback within MP.

If this does not help, postback with more details.

i just removed ffdshow and reinstalled it.
I could not see the option you were talking about.

I'm running vista by the way. with the newest MP

any other suggestions?

[Paranoid Delusion]

Are we talking about the same ffdshow, the current updated one is "ffdshow tryout" and yes i am using Vista Ultimate.

So during install it should give you some options to configure, if it does not, try rebooting and then reinstall after deleting the c\programs\ffdshow folder.

[the-dude]

FFDSHOW rev. 1320 (20070625) is what I'm talking about, it gives me a list of options of what codecs to enable or not.

is it after this screen or before? or should it be in this screen?

could be i overlooked it ..... but that rarely happens. ahummm

[the-dude]

maybe you can just give me the correct version that works on vista.

Or a link to the correct file ....


well thank in advance

I can't play high definition movies since reinstalling XP.

Try uninstalling all codecs then download one from Microsoft. I got a "unofficial" version of NVIDIA PureVideo and its fantastic, pure 5.1 sound, high quality playback. but the standard version is like £50.

Have you also got the latest graphics drivers for your card? i doubt that'll be the cause but its worth a try. If not reinstall windows, don't do a destructive restore, reinstall windows over the top in case its corrupted system files.

Good luck
