[QUOTE="PastorVor, post: 219228, member: 50487"] I uninstalled K-lite with no effect. Doesn't really explain why a file will play in all other players, but not MediaPortal, though. Like I said, I tried each and every codec in the list. Several MPG codecs like the Nero one, the ATI one, Ligos, MPV... all of them and none work. These are not tricky MPG's... simple MPEG 1 files. Also, I followed the codec guide before I did the reinstall with no effect. (last week) UPDATE: Ok, now this is a weird one. While trying to troubleshoot this issue I discovered an interesting phenomenon. I had MP running on one screen and Graphedit on another. I was going to try to "connect to a running graph" to see what I could see. That doesn't work since MP never plays the file so there was nothing to connect to. Anyway, I loaded up one of my MPG's into Graphedit while MP was open, then I tried to play a file within MP and guess what??? It played. All the other MPG's played as well. To clarify, MP would play MPG's ONLY when Graphedit had an MPG open and showing it's graph. I tested it a couple of times and sure enough, it works. So, I did a test run with MP so I could generate a log file to look at. I loaded Graphedit, then started MP and played 3 MPG's (I think one of them played twice)... They were B.mpg, C.mpeg, D.mpeg ... They all played just fine. Then I closed Graphedit and played the same three files and none would play. I looked at the logs and compared where one file played, with where the same file didn't play. There were two things which stood out.

I have no idea what this is referring to and I do not know why they would play when Graphedit is open and running and will not when it is not... Any clues? [/QUOTE]
