Hi

I have same problem, with Haali media splitter pdvd8 ultra can only decode some mkv and not others.

My solution was to download MPCVideoDec.ax (MPC-HC standalone video filter), copy it to system32, click start->run type regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\mpcvideodec.ax

I find if one filter doesn't work the other takes over. You could try this simple fix, because it is very easy to remove the filter

To remove click start -> run -> type regsv32 /u c:\windows\system32\mpcvideodec.ax to undo changes if you don't want the codec anymore.

NOTE - you will not be able to open mkv directly with the cyberlink player software.

Nice and working solution,

cigolo

MP1 MP2 Resume for External Players DE

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)

I note that you are using MP2. The following applies to MP1, but I think that MP2 is identical in this situation. "TV Server Config" has a "TV Mapping" panel in the "TV Channels" section.
