[QUOTE="jet70, post: 477032, member: 89373"] I tried the uploaded dll and I got a windows error when trying to play a media file which caused Mediaportal to 'bomb out'. I have been testing with my various avi/xvid files and whilst some seem to work, others are out of synch. I am using whatever xvid codec is included in SAF. I have noticed that for those that are out of sych, if you press escape so that the video minimizes into the floating preview window, it resynchs itself. When you then click the preview window to maximize the video again, it remains in synch. I can't see any real difference between these files and the ones that work OK! The syching issue is also corrected by ffdwing by 15 secs, but this is not a consistent fix as far as I can tell. I am hoping this might give you some clues as to what might be causing the syching issue. I have a few avi's which report their fps in mediainfo and yet in mediaportal, with the refresh popup enabled, the fps is reported as blank and hence plays back out of sych because it has not changed the refresh rate. There are only a few avis that have this problem, but they play OK in an external player. The one thing I have noticed is that often a file can appear to be 'out of sych' if the file is simply being played back at the incorrect fps, so possibly this whole issue might be down to Mediaportal changing the refresh rate but not always correctly to what it is suggesting - just a thought?
