I have been using media center for quite some time, but with win MC not supporting ac3 I have been running into trouble playing many movies. Looking for a solution lead me back to good old xbmc.
Music plays, weather works, pictures pic, but videos only play audio, even the ac3! (yay!) But no video plays just a black screen, (OSD comes up, I can pause/FF, etc) so it seems solving my problem created a new one. Any help would be much appreciated.
(Don't laugh it works!)
Hardware:
Dell optiplex gx-240
P4 @ 1.50Ghz
Ram:768MB
Win xp pro sp3 fully updated (would be Linux but damn vid card!)
ATI x700 256MB DDR2 AGP x8
XBMC 10

Win MC ran flawlessly with machine being on for days on end, watching movie after movie, just it will not play ac3.
