Just to learn more about MediaPortal working with different codecs, I uninstalled SAF 6 (it's so easy to reinstall it) and installed the LAVF package mpei instead. Now, all playback issues I had before (DVD menu is black screen until arrow key is pressed, OnlineVideos crash when playing 720p material, playback of some xvid files) are all gone.
I think that instead of just blaming playback issues on MediaPortal (just because stuff plays back in perfectly in GraphStudio), maybe some time could be spent on making SAF 100% compatible with MediaPortal (like LAVF seems to be)? All issues seem to be because of FFDShow forcing itself to be used instead of LAVF even though I've set MediaPortal not to use it.
Thanks
