Same problem here! It's very frustrating!

I have klite codec pack installed. I have tried to reinstall media portal, but no success either... I can't understande why some files with the exactly same codecs info by Gspot play fine and other don't!

Can anyone help please?

    is koepi's xvid installed, even in ffdshows video setting i have xvid set as the codec for the above formats.

    If you want system wide support, then uninstall any codecs and install the Vista codec pack (ignore name), you may have to change under avi setting to use gabest splitter, this either means you have corrupt files or your MS splitter is foobar.

    Finally the solution (at least for me):

    deinstall vobsub and at ffdshow vfw and video decoder turn on subtitles...

    I have recently installed MediaPortal 1.37 (x64) and MP-TVSeries v4.5.1.697 and unfortunately the TV episode runtime duration is missing in my Titan skin. This only applies to my .TS files, my .MKV files are OK. I believe the difference is likely to be because .MKV files embed the runtime in the file unlike .TS files. I have done...
