What's the problem?
just configure the midi extensions as a valid musi extension in Configuration and you're able to play it.

hwahrmann:
I tried that already and I started the following thread because I was not able to play MIDI files in Media Portal:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-support-51/midi-mid-files-playback-60920/
I am getting the following error message on three different Windows XP computers:
Unable to play : test.mid
Audio codec: MIDI
Chris in the thread above suggested that MIDI format is not supported by MediaPortal. I am glad to hear from the Developer that it is supported.
So this is the problem. If MIDI is supported, could you help me to resolve it?

Well it is supported, but only on my side.
There is a plugin file for BASS needed, which is not part of the release.
i have it in my plugin directory, because i was testing the support of different file types a long time ago.
somehow i didn't commit it, so it is not part of the distribution.
i'll sort out a small problem that i found and make sure it'll get delivered with MP 1.1.0.

This would be just great, thank you very much!
Could you also check on .kar files which are in fact midi files with kakaoke text inside. I installed the "Karaoke for DirectX" filter from here: SourceForge.net: Karaoke for DirectX: Files. I can see the video, but there is no audio.
.kar files require same midi parser codec, I believe.
.kar files are also very popular due to their small size. I have a huge library and I hope to find a way to play them in MP.
The Karaoke for DirectX filter is an abandoned open source project, but the filter itself is amazing! It supports all major karaoke formats: .kar, .lrc and .cdg. The source code is there and I hope somebody could take it over and imbed into one of the future versions of MediaPortal.

PS: But maybe the MP2 team will be back tomorrow, and development and bug fixes will continue. Time will tell.

Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this.

I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ?
MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback.
If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo.
I have...

Hi.
I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database".
Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...
