No, the problem seems more like it just doesn't apply the new aspect ratio; even though if you use the right-click context menu, it appears to be applied. After changing the ratio then changing it back, it works as it should. The videos play fine, otherwise.

No one has any thoughts on this issue? Is it just a bug in the software?

Even as a network share, it still has to access the physical drive to get the data. I'm curious to know if the same would hold true, if the network shared OS wasn't an MS one (e.g. Linux or MacOS).

Actually, I did just consider one other possibility. WMP may be tracking the file based on it's physical location on the HDD, not on the name/directory structure. Even if you delete it, the file is still there until it's overwritten by other data. And if you rename it, the file is still in the same ...

Well, if you delete it and it still plays, then the only possibility is my first suggestion, that it loads the entire file into memory. I can't speak to your hypothetical, just using logical reasoning and deduction. It has to get the data from somewhere. Sorry that I don't have a definitive answer, ...

Perhaps it loads it in segments, sort of a buffering function.

While I don't know what the answer is for certain, my educated guess would be that WMP probably loads the file into memory, then leaves the original file alone afterwards. That's the only way I can see that this would be possible.

Have you checked the OSD (on screen display) settings? I don't use the streaming function myself, but I'd start there.

I'm not sure this is a Windows specific issue, but as I've only tested it in Windows, this seems the best place to post my problem. Our store has a demo computer setup to run videos automatically at launch. We have it already configured to run full screen, with looping all videos from a specific dir...

This isn't a problem, more of a general question. However, since I didn't see a general discussion section for the forum, I'll have to post it here. I watch a lot of older TV shows that were recorded in 4:3 aspect ratio on my widescreen LCD. I like to force them to 16:10 ratio (my monitor is 16:9, b...

Are you sure the tsMuxer is correct?

I don't know, I've only started playing with the program. What do you mean? I'd be glad to investigate further.

I've recently begun ripping some of my Blu-Ray discs to my HDD as m2ts files, using a combination of AnyDVD HD and tsMuxer. I've left the video intact, but converted the audio from DTS-HD to DTS (in case that's relevant). I can play the movies just fine, but the timer does not progress, and if I att...

I saw that option before, but assumed it was unrelated. That did the trick. Thanks for the help, solazy. Glad you weren't too "lazy" to help.

I don't see an option for preferred audio. The best I could do is force a specific language for the sub, but I couldn't seem to disable it. I checked the Wiki, and didn't find what I was looking for there, either.

I've got a few old TV episodes in .mkv format, and every time I launch them in VLC (1.0.5 and 1.1.1), it defaults to enabling subtitles. I have to manually disable subtitles for each video. Is there any way to force subtitles off by default? I've checked every advanced option I could find, and didn'...
