[QUOTE="synthdood, post: 234499, member: 47606"] You are using ffdshow for subtitles (this requires to have ffdshow in postprocessing). I think the problem is that with CoreAVC vobsub doesn't seem to work. I have the same problem. What I have done as a workaround is to switch on subtitles in mediaportal configuration (this forces vobsub) and combine it with an autoloading preset in ffdshow that loads when playing a mkv file. For now this seems to work. With most regular xvid files vobsub kicks in and with x264 mkv files vobsub does nothing, but ffdshow kicks in. I would prefer it though if VobSub would work in combination with CoreAVC, because in the current cnofiguration it is just a matter of time until I run into a mkv file that contains something else than x264 and then vobsub and ffdshow will both be putting out subtitles... that is gonna look bad. The issue can probably be fixed (changing merits?) but unfortunately the codec world is a mystery to me. I have dived into graphedit a few times, but the number of codecs to choose from is overwhelming and whenever I try to connect a few blocks I get errors or graphedit just plainly quits on me, I really have now idea what I am doing so I kinda gave up. [rant on] I do wonder why it is so difficult to get codecs sorted in mediaportal when mediaplayer, mediaplayer classic, vlc, g-spot and graphedit usually have no trouble figuring out a working combination of codecs all by themselves... I always thought you could let the system sort it out for you, but aparently mediaportal is trying to overrule a thing or two and ends up with a graph that either has picture with no sound or picture with no subs or sound and no picture or.... etc, etc, etc.. When finally, after days of experimenting, installing, uninstalling and configuring codecs you manage to play all possible file types, along comes an update of mp or a new format and you can start from scratch again. You fix a problem with one format/codec and a problem pops up in another. Never mind. This is the price we have to pay fro a highly configurable system. It can be a pain but I still love MP to bits!
