[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1197731, member: 82144"] That's exactly the situation that I tried to explain when I said "Note that..."! ;) [B]LAV codecs are only defaults for MP Configuration, not for MP itself. [/B]In this particular aspect MP and MP Config are different and independent. MP does not have default codec settings. Again and in other words: [LIST] [*]Initially the settings were completely unset. This means that when you were using MP, any random codecs could have be tried/used. Possible results when settings are unset include no audio, no video, stuttering, freezes (as appears to have been the case for you)... or if really lucky, okay playback. It all depends on which codecs are installed. [*]When you viewed the section in MP Config as instructed, LAV options would appear to be selected because those are the defaults[B] for MP Config[/B]. [*]The settings are saved after you view the section in MP Config. [*]Only now will MP be guaranteed to use the selected codecs. [/LIST] I can't emphasize strongly enough: this is not a good thing. A standard MP recommendation is that people configure codec settings immediately after install and before trying to play anything. Failure to do so leads to all sorts of problems eventually (if not immediately). Personally I would never use the word "minor" in relation to codecs. Codecs are crucial. Please don't make the mistake of underestimating how important those settings are. I'd interpret this to mean that configuring the codec settings solved the problem. I'm 99% sure it'll work, but yes please do let us know if it doesn't. Regards, mm [/QUOTE]
