[QUOTE="amilewski, post: 417547, member: 29177"] Had the same issue after installation of 1.0.1 with the difference that I was using internal video player - some videos played well some did not with a error message and codecs listed (while same files played right on WMP11). After some investigation I found some errors in logs about directx so I installed new distribution (march od 2009), errors went away from logs but problem remainded. Later I uninstalled ffdshow (this is the only codecs pack I use), installed new version from 6 of may 2009 (I use cslid compilation), reboot, upgrade MP to 1.0.2 and wow! problem has gone! I think (but am not sure in fact) reinstallation of ffdshow did the trick, when you are installing ffdshow there is an option "reset all ffdshow settings" or something like that and in my opinion this was the key. Before I resolved my problem I had read many forum treads about version 1.0.1 and I think this version is more restrictive some way about codecs processing/graph building (maybe some sofisticated function/options of codecs are involved) and restoring default settings for ffdshow solves the problem. The only way I know to reset ffdshow settings is to uninstall and install it again with "reset all ffdshow setings" option set. I share this info with hope it would be useful in resolving your problem. regs [/QUOTE]
