Need help on software decoder (1 Viewer)

[torstenk]

Hi all

I am building a HTPC. I want to use mediaportal. I have a computer where it should all be streamed from. I have ripped alot of my dvds to x264 (mkv) and i have backupped alot of my blu-rays to the same computer. This saves me all the problems with dics that brakes etc.

But heres the problem.

I cant find a program that can play my mkv and my blu-rays. The only program to decode High def sound is powerdvd. And powerdvd sucks at playing mkv.

So is there a plugin or something that i can use so that i in mediaportal can play mkv, and dont have to change alot when i want to play my blurays with hi def audio?

All I have installed:

Ac3 Filter (passthrough dts/ac3);
CoreAVC Pro (h.264 decoder);
MatroskaSplitter (handles mkv's);
VSFilter (sub's in mkv's);

I then use PDVD8 to decode MPEG2 & FFDSHOW to do everything else.
