Hi,
I have the latest vesion 2.2.0 running on an Acer Aspire 5672WLMi

The problem I have is that when I try to playback any of my Xvids they simply do not work. Media Portal just acts as if nothing has happened.

I can play these movies using VLC, Media Player etc without issue

Is there something ovious I am missing?

Thanks

Dom

    You need correct codecs to play them. VLC uses own codecs.

    DL Xvid codec and all should be fine.

    I belive FFDShow is recomended by many. I use K-lite codec pack - but saying that here is like swearing in the church :D (even do a lot of ppl use these without any trouble)

    Hi,

    Thanks for that.

    I assumed that as I had VLC, Media Player etc installed the codecs could be made use of.

    I installed the K-Lite Full pack and all is as itshould be :)

    Thanks again
