I discovered MPC-HC last night in an effort to solve some of my hi-def mkv playback problems, and Im very impressed....
However I do have one major problem with it in MP 1.0.2. I f I set MP to use an external player (MPC-HC) I can use it to start playing an MKV file from within MP fine, but the moment I try to use ANY other remote button such as ff, rew, or even pause or stop, the player crashes and I have to ctrl+alt+del to kill the app and get back to MP. I then see a window complaining that it cant play the file because of the h.263 and AC3 codecs? I know this is a red herring as if I dont touch the remote after starting to play the file, it will play through to the end with no problems, then the player will shut itself down and Im back in MP.
It is purely using the remote that crashed the app
is there some extra settings that I need to configure for this - has anyone else had similar isuses - searching for mpc-hc+remote didn't bring up anything...
It's a standard Microsoft Media centre remote
I have a usb connected IR receiver that came with the remote...
Im using inbuilt MP support, all I have done is ticked the MCE remote option in MP config
I was unsure about posting log files as MP is OK and isn't crashing, it was the MPC-HC app that was crashing when using the remote??? If I revert back to internal player, all is fine
I will post log files whern I get in from work and can get 5 mins on the TV
Thx
