Video - no picture, only sound [Solved]
maxxsid:
Hello,
Recently upgraded to MC17 and now I have problems with video playback.
Most of the video files do play but don't show any picture, just sound.
Strange thing is that some files do play just fine.
I was not able to figure out the pattern. My files are mostly avi - some divx, some xvid. I found one divx and one xvid which do work - the other don't (out of about 20 I checked).
I use RC standard.
If I switch to RC HQ it fixes the issue but I get really bad stuttering (the movie looks like a slideshow).
Another strange thing is that MC16 uses same set of filters (with RC standard) and plays everything well.
Any idea anyone?
Thanks!

Add the "Compression" col to std view and it will display for video if it is AVC1, MEPG-2, etc etc and you may notice a pattern of which ones play and while ones don't.

Compression field is empty for most of my files... at least it is empty for all files which I tried to play.
**... It happens every year after I install a new version of MC. Video playback breaks, multichannel audio (wav, ac3) breaks. I then spend a few months fixing it and then a new version comes out...
I had high hopes for Red October but it doesn't work for me. Zoom Player which I use as a test player works no matter what...
Exactly the same happened to me when I went from MC15 to MC16. Unfortunately, I don't remember how I fixed it. It always involves some black magic with a lot of semi-random clicking, cursing and cccp-like packages install/uninstall.
And this is for my HTPC system which I use to actually watch movies (with spdif optical out).
My desktop plays all video files OK.
(both systems are XP SP3)

What happens if you select one of the files where the compression is blank and you do a update library from tags? Does it then populate and play OK?
