[QUOTE="Rlewton85, post: 846935, member: 118605"] Great News!!! SAF V6 seems to have solved my issues (Thanks to Hoborg for all the great work!!!). It now lets me select and playback my mkv files using PDVD12 codecs for video and ffdshow/LAV for audio. Everything seems to be playing back fine now with suround sound that I have passing through the 6-channel input of my reciever (really just using it as an amp at this point). So thanks for all the help/advice. I have a few more issues as I strive to get the coveted WAF. She is pretty impressed with the MovingPictures plugin for movies, the MyEmulators plug for our games, the visual menu presentation of the streamedMP skin, and likes being able to use the remote to control the who system. However she really like Itunes and grew up with Tivo so I have a couple more issues to resolve before I can fully get full acceptance. Here they are, (This may not be the place to post this so if you can point me to were it should be I would be greatful): [LIST=1] [*]The first one I have posted elsewhere in the forums, when I switch between analog channels the station tunes for about a second, then a blue screen blips and returns to the channel and plays back fine. I have and onboard HD4290 graphics card, and hauppauge wintv-hvr-2250 tv tuner. I was hoping new codec settings would help with this but it didn't seem to so far. I don't know if this information will help but I tested for this "blue blip" using WMC7 and XBMC TVserver pluggin, and the WMC7 does it occasionally, and XBMC didn't seem to do it at all but took a very long time to tune the channels.
