The VideoLAN Forums

Hello all,
i have some problems with playing .MKV files.
I posted this subject on another forum yet they were unable to help me there. heres the topic:

http://forum.inmatrix.com/index.php?showtopic=5487

did anyone experience this problem before?
i kinda tried everything,

the files i try to play are clean, not corrupted and yet VLC is able to play .MKV samples but i recommend reading the topic above.

All the torrents I can find for these 30 eps are in AVI and all of them hover about 4.4 gig.

Ah! finally found it. I will look.

VLC is not a Direct Show player, it uses its own libraries to decode media files and Windows codecs will not effect it.

Considering both WMP and VLC are having problems with this (assuming that the windows codecs are installed) suggests problems with the files.

Are you experiencing problems with other files or formats?

nope the rest work's fine...
i ran a program called matroskadiag. dunno if it'll help, here it is:

VLC is not a Direct Show player. I'm still running the down load but haven't had the time to run it consistently from my last post and at this time it is only 16% complete.

Here's a clean mkv you can test with to see for sure if it's just the media file you're trying to play or there is something wrong with your install of VLC itself.

Video Clip

well it worked with VLC but it din't with other players like zoomplayer yet all codecs are installed

::edit::
does VLC store a error report or something like that?

Messages.

VLC doesn't say anything. it just doesn't play the file.

What episodes are you having issues with?

viewtopic.php?t=29856

you have allot in common!

Plays fine with VLC.Choppy with CoreAVC.

CoreAVC??? The files I'm looking at are DivX files. This was the only 6. some gig torrent on the network and meets the description of the original post. I don't know what your looking at???

Sorry,DJ.
I should have quoted more specifically...I was talking about the Hypnotize20LP.mkv test file

this guy's problem is totally diffrent, when he tries to play his files, then it freezes. mine simply doesn't do anything. it just stay's idle.
when i try to open one of the files i see it tries to open the file but then it simply dissapears and it stays idle >.<

The VLC reproduced without problems archives MKV
But I suddenly Stop reproduce single the archives of a series that I Dowloading.

Before I can see them, but Yesterday I Can´t see the videos
in addition all other archives MKV I can see them without problems.

The only ones that not open are those that belong to that series
Why could see them and now suddenly already nor opens them?



P.S. Sorry for my Bad Ingles;P

Try deleting VLC's preferences folder or use the reset feature.

Thanks.

Please tell me, how can make The reset feature?

And Where is the VLC's preferences folder?
