So I've searched and looked around the forums and tried everything, but I still can't get this to work.
I think this is the first time I've had an issue with MediaPortal. I have other .mkv files that play fine. I have Watchmen in mp4 format that is a x264 core and it runs just fine.
Here's what I have:
MediaPortal 1.0.2.0
Codecs Installed
Klite Mega Codec Pack
CCCP
I also did some updating trying to get this movie to work...
CoreAVC: 1.2.0.0
FFDShow Audio/Video: 1.0.7.3013
Installed VSfilter_20070918
Pulled this info from MediaInfo v.0.7.10
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (H.264, DTS Audio, w/Subs)
File Extension: .MKV
File Size: 6.55 GB
Video Codec ID: V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC
Audio Codec ID: A_DTS
Text Codec ID: S_TEXT/ASS
Based on another thread about getting H.264 .mkv files to work (https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-support-51/tutorial-playing-mkv-files-33662/) I've tried every combination of Video/Audio Settings in MP (CoreAVS, FFDShow, RealAudio, etc.) including turning FFDShow Post Processing On/Off and Autoload VSFilter On/Off in Haali for every combination. If I open the file outside of MP, it runs in MPC just fine (looks AWESOME!!). Originally when I would try to open the file in MP I got the error "Could not open File. Video: H.264 Audio: DTS", Updated CoreAVC, FFDShow, VSFilter and now when I try and open the file in MP, from the Video list it freezes (like it is trying to load: HDD light starts flashing, can't move up or down list, scrolling text stops) and then...nothing, I stay on the Video list. I regain control, scrolling text starts up again.
In short, I think I've tried everything short of wiping and reinstalling Codecs and MP. Here are my questions:
Is it the file size?
Anyone have any suggestions?
Something that worked for them?
Should I scrap MP and codecs and start anew?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!
