Hi,
Have you installed all the requirements?

I'm not really an expert in that area of MP2, but to me it looks like a codec problem. What codecs do you have installed on your system? Any codec-packs? Which codecs are selected in MP2 settings?

Actually... A complete set of logs will help a lot...
Also include the install log..

While you are at it... Are there any errors listed in the Windows System or Application Event logs related to MP2?
p.s. Please post them here.....

This is exactly the same issue as here: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/playback-of-a-movie-mp2-crashes-to-desktop.127957/

In summary, it's a combination of DotNetStreamSource with "wrong" directshow filters. We debugged this quite much, but the exceptions seem to happen only in combination with installed filters. A clean installation helped to solve it, but I know this is not a solution in most cases

I think it has something to do with movies that contain subtitles, i can play movies without subtitles ok.

Yes, this is probably the cause. We came to same conclusion in other thread. But unfortunately we could not find out, if there is a filter wrong or if there is an incompatibility with DotNetStreamSource.

I have never used subtitles in MP2. How do I go about turning them on for testing?
Also, is this DotNetSrteamSource an external source of code within MP2 and is it configurable?

In the last weekly build, are subtitles available
