MP crashes on WMV files (1 Viewer)

[collaborator]

Actually MP shows couple of frames of wmv and freezes. !!

How can I check whether ffdshows selected for wmv or not ?

Make sure FFDShow has not been selected for wmv filetypes, has been known to cause issues, check your codecs are fine with filemerit, check file association is with Windows media Player.

Cannot think of anything else, all i can say is wmv working here using today's svn, so it is local to your system.

Anyone using registry cleaner's, one word DON'T.

FFDShow video decoder config\ codecs, all the WMV settings should be disabled.

Ok just done a bit of a google on this and one of the things that comes up is dual screen outputs nvidia cards and windows drm kicking in.

Sound familiar to anyone, one of the recommendations is reinstall drivers or update.

I have XP so not a lot of DRM also I have an ATI card and when I open WMV files with WMP 11 everything works like it should. This is definitely a MP problem, I tried every codec (including cyberlink) and nothing works. Other files (AVI, MP4) work nicely...

I got mine to work. I had to do a reinstall. Compete reinstall. Now I still only get 2 channel DD, that sucks especially since Windows MP does full 5.1. Something in Media Portal is flipping it to 2 channel. It is working though. No more blank screens.
