Hello!

I have set up a htpc for my father who wants to play .mov files (m-jpeg encoded) which he recorded with his panasonic digital camera.

I installed newest Quicktime Alternative and Medialooks DirectShow Filter.

Everything works fine but when i want to play large mov-files (about 8 gig) inside MediaPortal / MyVideos there is a big delay (about 30-60 sec) until the movie starts playing. When I directly load it into WMP it starts playback at once without delay. Smaller videos (until 1 gig) start at once in MediaPortal too.

Has anyone an idea what might cause the playback delay in Media Portal?.

    I don't know if it will help, but if this is MP 1.0.2 you could try updating the mediainfo.dll to a later version (MP uses this to get info on the file before playing it) - get it from MediaInfo - Download
