Can MP play DRM licensed AVI files? I purchased a few videos of the wimbleton games and I can play them in Media Player. I get errors in MP. Can version 2.0 play these files?

    I think you mean wmv files, as I have never heard of DRM'ed avi files before.

    Unfortunatly I think the answer is no, the only programs that can play drm'ed wmv files that I know are WMP itself and a special version of zoom player. I even think you would have to pay a license fee to microsoft if you wanted to support drm in your application.

    But I may be totally wrong here, if so I'm sure someone will step in to correct me.

    I don't think so, because MP has no way of knowing at which timestamp the external player stopped playback. Best way to achieve this would be to use an auto-resume feature in your external player itself. (MPC-HC can do that, I don't know about VLC)

MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    After many hours of troubleshooting I've given up and accepted that it's just "one of these things" when using madVR for watching live TV. I've now ticked the box to "Use EVR for LiveTV", with a default display refresh rate of 50Hz. In combination with tweaking some of the Nvidia 3D settings for the MP executable only, I now have a...

    I noticed there's an updated Visual C++ Runtime (14.50.35710), maybe try to reinstall the runtimes? That's what fixed the issue when I tried 1.38.1
