    These types of movie play fine in Media Player 10 but will not open in media portal. Anyone else have this problem and fixed it?

    I am using Haali media splitter and CoreAVC as the codec.

    Many thanks if you can help :?

    sorry if i'm being obtuse but do you mean you have the same problem or that you can play .mkv files using media portal?

    I'm using core avc and Haali media splitter and I can play .mkv without problem in Media Portal, so at least it's possible :)

    I did not try the Core AVC on my HTPC, but I know just installing Core AVC is not enough, you have to add the decoder in the Media Player Classic for example via the options menu.
    How can I solve this using Media Portal?

    I recently got a file .mkv and couldn't play it via MP, I installed "lazy mans mkv" and went add .mkv to mp's list but it was already there, haven't had any troubles with .mkv files

    dunno if it's k to link but here's the link to Lazy Man MKV
    http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Lazy_Man_MKV.htm

    apologies if I'm not supposed to link.
    hope it help.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1
