I have exactly the same black box problem, I checked flv extension and flvplayer is enabled... you're not alone, but unfortunately I have no solution...
Try unistalling flash and re-installing it by going to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash using Internet Explorer.
What version of Windows and Internet explorer are you using?

Is there an alternative download-link?
The one on the first page doesn't seem to work.![]()

Can you try to play an apple trailer again and paste the MP log in pastebin ?any special tricks to get apple trailers working??
i installed mplayer plugin and went in and ticked use external play for .mov
I have quicktime alternative installed and then i tried uninstalling that and installing quicktime itself so i have the codecs
but when i select a video to play it looks like its about to go to another screen and then it just comes back to the same screen again..
i heard about uninstalling and reinstalling flash player.. how do you do that as it came preloaded with MP?
thanks
running 0.2.2.0 with SVN from 28th Apr

... done! but no change :-(. i use win xp sp2 with all patches, IE6
i've done a debug-logging in mp, output is the same than in my previous post, no error messages.
i've also tried to disable the ffdshow flv-codec but also no solution.
any suggestions?

I put this in pastebin but how do you get it into reply post?
Anyways I had a look through the logs and everything seems ok except this second last line - error directory is invalid.
Is this something to do with where media portal is installed as its in the proper location /program files/team mediaportal/mediaportal etc
I read earlier posts about people changing this and having probs. The only thing is I put mine on D drive not C drive could that be the issue?
Also I know this is in earlier posts but I still cant get mine working when I click search it just goes to an empty folder screen instead of showing the keyboard and I have a recent SVN installed from 28 apr
Also anyway to have youtube videos not play full screen as because of the low quality they are all pixelated. I thought I saw earlier posts where it plays in its window is this how its supposed to look? If so how do I get it to run in this window instead of full screen
if i press the back button it shows the video playing in bottom left hand corner the same as when live tv is playing but unlike live tv i cant select this small preview window to open the video up in a bigger screen again.. with normal tv i can select this preview and reactivate full screen tv again.
thanks
