[QUOTE="2.0, post: 839117, member: 118263"] SOLVED! :D I was able to find out what was wrong and fix it. The problem lies in how Windows is set up to handle video streams. The Microsoft DTV-DVD Decoders are set up as the primary filters for incoming video/audio streams (regardless of what codecs are set up in MP Configuration). It then is supposed to pass the stream over to the appropriate codecs. However, in some cases it does not handle the stream properly and does not let the appropriate codec take over. The result is the Microsoft DTV-DVD decoder outputting a black screen. This is a known problem in Windows, and I read about it here: [url=http://alax.info/blog/1283]Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder at High Resolutions | Fooling Around[/url] Yes, Microsoft strikes again. I found the solution here: [url]http://www.hack7mc.com/2009/04/disable-and-replace-ms-dtvdvd-decoder.html[/url] Basically the solution is to disable the Microsoft DTV-DVD decoders and then hack the registry to change the preferred decoders to whatever else you are using. In my case I use the LAV decoders, which seem to work great for everything. The CLSid for the LAV decoders are: Audio: {E8E73B6B-4CB3-44A4-BE99-4F7BCB96E491} Video: {EE30215D-164F-4A92-A4EB-9D4C13390F9F} And now my MP can play internet videos through the LAV codecs, without the Microsoft DTV-DVD decoders getting in the way.
