MC will play some flv files but, not all of them. The ones that do not play in MC play fine in VLC PLayer. These are videos downloaded from Youtube. MC will throw up a dialog box saying:
MC encountered errors while trying to play the last several files. Please make sure that path in your media library points to the right location.
Error details:
DirectShow: Failed to play flv video. Please EXIT Media Center and restart it, then try playing the video again.
Also, afterwards, Windows throws up the dialog stating that something might not have installed correctly and do I want to reinstall. I have tried starting MC with admin privileges but that didn't make a difference.
