    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 :)

    There is something odd about our network 10 TV channels.

    Many many years ago, I opened a bug report after I got that same message but I never got a reply. The reason was I had unchecked the Windows Media Player item in Windows 10 Control Panel > Program and Features > Turn Windows features on or off as I didn't need it, without thinking that it was needed by MediaPortal.

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    When I rebooted this morning, the same problem came back. But I did find my error, it turned out I had accidently clicked on "Filtering: On startup filter by: Unwatched Movies" in "Moving Pictures Configuration". Don't know how I did that. (n)

    Looks like there's some kind of error regarding translations that I can't pinpoint about Subcentral. You'll find it in the log file I attached to my previous message. I don't understand it because I use MP in english, I search for subtitles in english and not in my native language, so I can't figure out what's translation got to do...
