    Hi.
    Try to disable WMV completely in LAVF Settings. Splitter, Video and Audio Part. WMV is a native Windows format that plays best if you leave the system as it is...
    BTW Testing such files in VLC did not make much sense as VLC did not use Windows DS system to playback video files...Better to use Windows media Player or GraphStudio or something like that. VLC is good for seeing if the file is playable at all, but everything else you can not test with VLC...

    I'm getting exactly the same error on wmv files since i installed 1.3b. Tried fiddling with the LAV settings suggested but nothing helps. I can play the same files without problems with WMP and i'm pretty sure 1.2.3 worked fine too.

    Can anyone help out?

    I had similar problem playing WMV under 1.3, don't think it happened with 1.2.3 - I think it was unticking Source Splitter Selection in Video Codecs that fixed it for me, may be worth a try.

    Excellent, thank you! I don't know what the setting does but it fixed wmv's and everything else still plays fine :)

    I compliment you on the thoroughness of your investigations. (y) Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas what the problem might be. :( Perhaps someone else will post with some suggestions. :unsure: -- from CyberSimian in the UK

    So, you're power cycling the TV, but not putting the PC to sleep ? In General => Startup/Resume settings, try checking "Ignore Windows resolution/size changes" In Codecs and Render, try selecting the specific audio device rather than "Default DirectSound device" Just ideas, no guarantee this will do anything. If this doesn't work, I...

    There seems to be an ongoing problem that some users have when trying to install MP 1.36. I regret that I do not know the cause of this problem, and so cannot suggest a solution. However, I can suggest a workaround that (hopefully) will work for you. The workaround is to: Completely uninstall MP, MySQL, and MariaDB. Perform a...

    Thank you for pointing out that my analysis may be less than accurate. :eek: :p Although the change to TV channel 71 may not also have been applied to the independent radio channels (different MUXes), the logs that I prepared for one of the development team does show a difference between channel 704 ("BBC Radio 4") and channel 731...
