    Hello!
    Can you look in your LAV Video config and confirm that wmv3 and wmv12 are ticked in Tab Formats. Also try to play around with the setting "Use Microsoft WMV9 DMO decoder for WMV3 and VC-1" (tick or untick)
    See:
    =LAV_Video_Configuration_-_Formats_0.54.1.PNG


    Do you have any other codec packs installed?
    Thanks!

    Hi,

    Ive tried all combintations I could think of within the LAV settings that you showed me, but still same error.

    I used to have Haali media splitter and FFDShow, but they were uninstalled months ago

    all of them by the looks of it, I have tested playing them in vlc and they work on that machine.

    Just not in mediaportal

    you are right.. I spotted why it's not working. For what ever reason, the 3x recently added / watched for TV series, etc was killing it.. I've removed it for now and it's started working again. I'll have to dig a little deeper as to why it's happened all of a sudden.

    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...

    Sorry, I didn't get email notifications on these latest replies. I just came here to report I solved the problem after adjusting power settings for "Intel Graphics". I set it to Maximum Performance. I tried many other things so it could be a combination of them, but this was the last thing I did and I haven't had the problem return...
