[QUOTE="GuiltyNL, post: 966712, member: 136461"] Last days I was struggling to get my videos, TV-Series and Movies working. Every time I tried to play a file, Mediaportal told me that he wasn't able to play it. I received a notification like this: [IMG]http://clip2net.com/clip/m39635/1304137041-clip-27kb.jpg[/IMG] In the logs I couldn't find anyting. It was telling me that it was an unknown format (from MKV to MP4 etc.). I was working with LAV and I was checking the extensions in LAV and in the MediaPortal Configurator. All seems to be fine. I tried to change the codecs back to the default Microsoft decoder, but without any luck. In my configuration I started to review everything step by step and it appeared to be a simple checked feature: [IMG]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/@api/deki/files/982/=video-player.png[/IMG] I checked the 'Use external player' box, but I hadn't specified the path / filename of the external player. The logs nor Mediaportal weren't telling me that the external player couldn't be found. So I just didn't realize it was so simple. I unchecked the box and voila, all was working. I'm posting this because other user could experience the same problem. And maybe my post is the solution. ;) [/QUOTE]
