I can play any kind of video file on my hard drive but I sometimes get a strange bug when playing videos on the internet. I've been using the Online Videos plugin to play videos from the internet. Most videos will play fine but once in a while I try to play a video which will give me this bug: The sound plays but there is no picture. But here's where it gets strange: Any video I try to play after that, online or from my hard drive, even if I could play it well before, will give me the same bug. I have to exit and restart MP to fix the problem. I have identified a handful of these internet videos which cause the problem every time I try to play them, but here's where it gets even stranger: If I download those videos to my hard drive then they will play fine. I did some troubleshooting, checked my logs, etc. I think I found something of note: When I played one of the internet videos which gave me the bug, I pressed Shift+1 and read the information. It said that it's using the Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio and Video Decoders to play the file. These same decoders are also mentioned in the log files.

And this is where it gets even [I]stranger[/I]: I have MP Config set up to use the LAV codecs for absolutely everything. There is no reason MP should be using the Microsoft DTV-DVD decoders for anything at all. I reproduced the bug so that I could get the right logs, posted below. Here are the exact steps I took: - Started MP, went to OnlineVideos. - Played one of the videos which gives me the bug (Sound but no picture). During playback I pressed Shift+1 and took the screenshot. - Exited OnlineVideos and went to Videos. - Tried to play a video from my collection (Doom MP4.mp4) and still had no picture. - Exited MP. While "Doom MP4.mp4" was playing I pressed Shift+1 and it said the LAV codecs were in use, not the Microsoft DTV-DVD codecs. By the way, I can't get Watchdog to work so I can't gather logs that way.
