I was wondering if anyone knows of a solution for this problem on xbmc.
When trying to play .mkv files, I found I can play the file once, but if I try to play another .mkv file (or the same file again), the audio plays but the screen is blank. On .mkv with subtitles, I found it interesting that the subtitles would appear, but not the video itself.
When I used Windows Media Center, it was a matter of configuring the .mkv codecs to get the subtitles to appear in the first place, but I notice that xbmc does not open the codec packs that I had used on WMC.
I suppose my question is where can I go to configure the .mkv codecs so that on consecutive playbacks I do not have to restart xbmc everytime I want to watch one.
I should note that I am currently using the latest nightly build as of 3:45 a.m. EST 8/29/2010. I'm sure it is something simple, yet I couldn't readily find what I was looking for in the wiki, only links to information that, yes indeed, xbmc is supposed to be able to play .mkv files.
