[QUOTE="dir, post: 405568, member: 24485"] I have the same problem. Everything played fine in MP 1.0.0, but now with 1.0.1 certain movies don't play. I've used GSPOT to identify that the ones that don't play are MPEG-4/AVC. The symptoms are a blank screen but with sound. Fast-forwarding brings up the progress bar but no actual fastforward occurs. I can play the files fine within Zoom Player. I use ffdshow and keep everything to defaults, i.e. I did a clean install of Vista then installed Zoom Player and allowed it to download and install ffdshow and the other things it installs. I do not use codec packs which includes the all-in-one that's been generated by MediaPortal users (nor will I so it's not a solution for me). Update: It's only MPEG-4 (AVC1) files that can't be played within MP 1.0.1. They play fine in Zoom Player, which invokes ffdshow and the Haali splitter. They can't be played within WMP 11 but I haven't used WMP for years so who cares... I thought MediaPortal used ffdshow to play videos, therefore it should be able to play them.... Strange - has something changed in MP where it no longer uses things like ffdshow? That's a pretty major change if so; I would have thought there'd be a big warning to anyone thinking about upgrading if that's the case since it's a huge change to how MP handles videos. I'm sure it's something a lot more simple. Will keep digging. [/QUOTE]
