No Video on Playback (Just a black screen) - Ava_lon - 2010-02-01

Hi Guys!

I was trying to find an answer in the forum, but with my english vocabulary it isn't easy.
So I considered to open a new Thread.

Well, my problem.
I was using an older (0.79 or something) version of XBMC and the Aeon Theme.
Today I found the Transparency! Theme and because of some problems with Aeon I was loading the newest Version of XMBC (this one which is compatible wit Trans 2.11) and also the Transparency 2.11.
Its all working fine and looking much better... Tanks for that.
But my problem is... I can't watch videos.
Everytime I start a Movie like mpeg or avi or DVD (doesn't matter) I hear the sound, but see nothing.
I tried some changes in the configuration, but can't solve the problem.
If anyone has an idea, please help.

So long!

Hi!

Im sorry, will do so next time.
Tanks for moving. Hope somebody can help now.
Btw, a link to a post with equal content would be helpful, too.

Download and run the DirectX installer from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=04ac064b-00d1-474e-b7b1-442d8712d553

The XBMC setup sometimes doesn't install DirectX properly for reasons we can't figure out.
