    Subject says it all.
    I have many files in this format, foobar plays them nicely, but I would like to use MediPortal as it is connected to an amplifier.
    Thanks

    Perhaps you're confusing *.wv and *.iso.wv.
    Even though, the audio is in the same WavPack format, the structures of the files are different.
    There is no problem to play *.wv files. However, as *.iso.wv is essentially a container, it has to be treated differently. You have to mount it as an *.iso image or open it as an archive and then you'll find there several files, like audio, images and some more.

    So, maybe use virtual drive, and set *.iso.wv as extension, but you must know if the software used to mount is compatible.

    Thanks, azzuro.
    I tried that. Unfortunately, the *.iso.wv extension is not the best, because only last dot is considered to be an extension separator. The bottom line is that MP threats all files with *.wv extension as audio files and it doesn't try to mount *.iso.wv as an image, even though I added this extension to the list of mountable files in MP.
    I tested vcd - manually it mounts *.iso.wv without problems (after renaming), but I can't force MP to recognize *.iso.wv as a mountable image.
    Any ideas? Like priorities for extensions?

    Please note that that I don't want to rename these files, as they are being shared.

    Do you have a sample to test ?
    No, I don't have any samples.
    The smallest file I found is about 60MB. I'm not sure if it would be any of help and I don't think I can upload it here.

    Sorry about that. Though, it still could be the shortest way...:(

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters.

    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. I kept the "Media...

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    Yes, I saw that. Was beyond my understanding, however. Didn't see how to set that up. I'm a relative neophyte, who's done hardly any command-line coding. To be more specific: I don't see, under either "Grabbing Listings" or in the "First use example," where it is designated just where on one's C drive the tv.xml file is...
