[QUOTE="RetroZA, post: 548325, member: 78414"] I'm trying to use an external player with MediaPortal, but it doesn't save the settings. I check the option for the external player and then browse to the file for the player and select the exe. I then click OK. When I go into MediaPortal then, it still uses the internal player. If I check the settings, the external player option isn't selected anymore. It's the same for the "use 5.1 sound" option on the same settings screen as well. I've triend selecting Windows Media Player and VLC and it does the same for both. Any ideas? I'm on 1.1.0.0 with the latest SVN.
