I know i've discussed this before, and i hate to beat a dead horse but its driving me insane as to why its specifically not working for me. everything else is fine, library configured, etc. when i play the video, i just get a blank black screen with any and all videos i've tried. sound on some videos works fine (specifically divx), but most with ac3 or dd audio just have a loud hissing noise and no sound either in addition to no video. i've tried 1080p mkv content, 720p mkv, normal 700mb divx's, xvid, etc. none of them work.
the thing is that these work flawlessly using mplayer, i have ffmped, coreavc for mkv's, haali media splitter. im running these on bootcamped mini c2d 2.0, 950gma vid card with 1 meg ram. even though these files work fine outside xbmc, id expect if soemhow xbmc feels my comp is underpowered id get stuttering playback, not just a black screen. i just recently did a clean install of xp specifically to see if something i had previosuly installed was having an issue with xbmc but no luck. i currently have ffmpeg coreavc and haali installed. can anybody suggest anything? im using the latest t3ch build, and the latest xbmc for win. no outside the ordinary software otherwise as i only use this as an htpc.
