works like a charm. Thanks a lot hoborg

EDit : not totally ; I think I lost my BRD subtitles

Edit 2 : finally, it's ok, I just have to uncheck autoload subtitles.

Hey everyone, I installed SAF 5 and it's been working fine. I ran across a mkv file I couldn't play, says no codec available. The video is AVC like others I have and the audio is DTS (MA). Is the DTS MA the problem? How do I fix it? Thanks!

Does the video play in Graphstudio?

Hoborg, I'm still having this issue. Any ideas? it's only some of the files that don't work, but I can't find anything different between them. Once fails one doesn't. I posted a sample, were you able to see it?

thanks!

Same issue here with 1080p MKV Files with AVC!

So I removed SAF 5 and went back to SAF 4 final and used MPC instead of FFDshow for video, now all mkv videos load fine in Media Portal without the "can't find codec" error. Graphstudio looks fine rendering the files before and after the change. I've narrowed it down to 3 files that start playing then the video freezes and audio keeps playing. I'm re-encoding those files with xvid4psp. thanks for listening!

This is too vague. What happens? Do you get any video, ie: the root menu, etc?

Hello All,

Newbie here – so please be gentle. My setup is
PC (with ATI HD AH3650 video card) >>HDMI>.Denon Amp>>HDMI>>Pioneer TV.
I have mediaportal v1.0.4.23491 and unlocked SAF V5 (saf500svn100408a.exe). After reading many threads my head is spinning and would appreciate some help.

I am trying to play a MKV file with AVC video (L4.1) and DTS 6 channel audio. Video playback seems to be ok – but for the audio I am really confused. During the install I choose enable passthrough (and have added “ffdshow audio decoder” to video post processing) – but then even in graphstudio there is no audio – if I choose not to enable passthough – then I get just PCM stereo.

Any help on how to get DTS to the AV receiver via HDMI please?
Also I have currently set all the decoders to “ffdshow video decoder" or the dxva variant as applicable – with the unlocked version – what should these settings for video and dvd be please? ( I don’t have a TV card yet).

Many thanks
