HELP! needed with installation + config codec! (1 Viewer)

[ejtje]

Hello all,

Last week I have installed MP (v1.0.2.) on a clean XP PRO SP3 installation.
This is what did while installing the system:
- Installed XP PRO SP3
- Updated drivers (motherboard, videocard)
- Installed MP
- Installed ffdshow-tryout codecs (following the mediaportal codec guide v.2.pdf)(from Goose) (http://users.vic.chariot.net.au/~mitreski/mediaportal codec guide v.2.pdf)
- Configured MP (video drivers, video location, language and country

I stated MP to give it a try. But when i stated a movie(avi FORMAT) MP give the message: MP can't play movie en gives an video and audio format. (I have tryed more movie, and local and remote located movies)

So I tried the following :
- Reinstalled the codecs (Following manual Goose), configured codecs --> No result.
- Uninstalled MP, installed codecs (following manual Goose), configured codecs (ffdshow tryout) & installed MP --> No results
- Uninstalled ffdshow codec, installed K-lite codec pack --> No result.
- Unistalled k-lite codes pack, uninstalled MP, installed AC3 filter, Media splitter, FFDshow, MPC-HC filter & MP (Media Portal alternatief voor Windows Media Center (Deel 2) - Client Software Algemeen - GoT) (Dutch text) --> No result

Can someone support me? The movie part of MP is the most important part for me, and I'm al ready a week trying to get a avi to play.

Maybe I could try the following:
- Instal XP PRO SP3 (fresh copy) (no old codecs installations making problems )
- Updated drives
- Instal codecs
- Try avi in Windows Media player --> IF ok THEN next step.
- Installing and configuring MP

It did not jet try this because it will take more time, and a doubt that it will work. Could someone give me some advice?

1) update DirectX
2) reinstall SAF and this time do not install DirectVobSub

BTW - i am not sure if your RADEON 9200 have enought power for MP.

Stil no luck

Hello,

I have made a compleet reinstallation. But MP will still NOT play avi files and windows media player does play this files.

I have done:
Install: Windows XP SP3
Update: Windows XP SP3
Update: Windows media player to version 11
Installed .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Instal DirectX 9.0 latest version
Installed BDA/DVB hotfix
installed videocard driver
installed SAF
Installed MP
Configured MP

Maybe I did something wrong, but I looks like MP doen't uses the SAF codecs. How can you tell MP which codec MP must use?

See the attachments for the installation log of the SAF codec pack.

Has every one so much problems installing MP? And why doesn't have MP al the codecs needed preinstalled?


Greetings E

 

[hoborg]

You must install SAF as last one.

...and your DirectX is outdated acording to SAF log

 

[ejtje]

I have rinstallated MP en SAF en updated de Directx, can youm please look at the SAF logs?

tnx a lot

Greetings E

PS: I can play avi files with the media player classic, when I enable it als external media playing in media portal. Only this looks not so good...

Yeh,looks like RADEON 9200 is the problem. Since PM 1.1, this card is too week to be used in MP, i do not known why
