DXVA + subtitle support for MP1.1.0(RC)? (1 Viewer)

[Spragleknas]

All I'm saying is that DXVA + subs works with MediaPortal w/o use of any other codec/software etc.

Regarding choosing/installing "the right" codecs: You'll never get an unanimous answer regarding what codec you should install Some people don't want to use "codec packs", others prefer 'em. If you are to use a codec pack, SAF would definitely be my recommendation.

I've installed a Win7, latest display drivers and MP-RC2 (+Moving Pictures, My TVSeries and StreamedMP).
When I try to watch a mkv movie, I just get an error:
Unable to play filename.mkv
video codec: AVC
audio codec: AC-3

So I guess I should install SAF 5?

Yes... Everything depends on codec and hardware. So if your hardware is capable to hardware accelerate it then you should install appropiate codecs. SAF just makes life a bit easier - codec wise
