i'm starting to have some issues with this version now too, I cant play any of these episodes, just get a black screen with 0 in all queues in MADVR control+J

All play fine in MPC BE using identical MADVR settings. A full fresh portable install also fails so its defo an issue with with DS, I havent tried any older version yet or dialling back the LAV / MADVR version to those available with this release.

incase anyone else has come accross black screens when playing some stuff, i think, i cant be sure though, ive got to the bottom of this. If I turn off  "show bluray titles and matroska editions..." they play. I noticed that when playing them in a much older version a dialog box would come up where a choice had to be made between matroska versions or something, I didnt take much notice of what it said but when I was going though the settings randomly turning stuff on and off to see what would break it this did the trick. No idea whats going on here but everything is working fine again now.
