[QUOTE="FakeFrowns, post: 219423, member: 63509"] Well I also have powerDVD and all it's codecs installed. DVDs aren't working at all either, but i was mainly referring to saved Divx and Xvid files on my computer. The codecs are installed and working properly because i can play the same media files through WMP. It's like MP just doesn't know how to access the proper codecs. The weird thing is i never had any of these problems with any of the older versions of MP. It seems to be related to something they changed in this latest build. Now the problem i'm having with the DVDs is i tell it to play the DVD (which plays fine in powerdvd) and it goes to a black screen. If i watch the light on the DVD drive it never blinks and the drive doesn't even spin up. Mediaportal doesn't even try to read the DVD. I have tried using the built in, included mpeg2 decoders that come with MP and those don't work, i've tried each of the decoders that powerdvd installs, all with the same result. Now i just tried to play some MP3s and M4as and it won't even play those. I have iTunes installed and it plays fine through that. There's just some serious issue going on. It won't open any media file at all, like it just can't read any of the codecs installed on the computer. MP just won't open anything. I tried that codec fixer thing and it didn't show that there were any problems with the codecs, and since everything plays fine in other programs i really don't think it's a problem with the codecs. It's definitely something wrong with MP. Any other suggestions? If there's any other info that would be helpful let me know. [/QUOTE]
