[QUOTE="dars55, post: 425394, member: 49368"] I have been having this problem since coming to MediaPortal after I decided to finally dump Snapstream Beyond Media and it's DVD Library plug-in (after something like 5 years with Snapstream). I arrived at MediaPortal at release 1.0.1 and from the beginning I could not play any files using the internal player, receiving the error message that is described in this post. This was very disappointing - I hadn't tried an install of MediaPortal in quite a while and I was very impressed with it's forward development and community involvement. But, it wouldn't play a single file of the same files that Beyond Media played. I had all codecs needed to play all of the file types I ever came across and Beyond Media used to play them all. After trying the 'use external player' option in MP and getting that to work fine, I still wanted to know why I could play a file in the external player and then return to MP only to have to OK out of the message box saying that the file could not be played.
