    Hi,

    Is it possible to play videos in the pictures section in MP2. I know it is possible in MP1, but cannot seem to find it in MP2.

    I'm running the build from 16-01-2016.

    Hope someone can help.

    You can play videos in the "video" section. It's not possible in the "image" section.

    If you want to play videos from your digicam and/or smartphone that are stored between pictures you can (should) use the "Browse media" section. Here you can play all kinds of media, no matter if it is video, music or image... You even can ad different types to the same playlist here...

    Edit:
    To do so you need to add both, video and image to the media source when you create it. If you missed this during creation you later can modify the media source in settings too.

    As @ge2301 correctly sayed, image section is for images only. Same is for videos section. It is for videos only... But "browse media" is universal...

    Thank you very much. I will add the video to the media source and get it to work this way around.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? 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...

    Can anyone tell me the step-by-step procedure for bringing up a second channel in pip mode? I can only do it sometimes, after many tries, and it’s not clear what I am doing that makes it work on those occasions when it does. Cannot find guidance on the site. Thanks, N.

UPDATE Transferred both files to the destination folder, and labelled appropriately. This way...
