And believe it or not I've read the WIKI several times...but I'm not a coder and I really sort of hate codecs, they've always been a PITA with Windows...t
Also from that WIKI this:
was the reason for my Q about where? since Wiki's tend to become dated quickly with an app like this one....I'd read that and also a few posts here that clearly state that some files (and I recall this one) can be in the userdata directory.
Sorry for my frustration, I am grateful for the work and advise of this wiser than myself
-- on to your out on a limb I don't "think" it's a codec conflict as this whole OS was just installed within the past few weeks and I didn't think I installed any codecs intentionally (save defauts) and now Haali.
Lol - hope yournot insinuating that I'm a coder/codec expert, because if you knew me nothing could be further from the truth - everything I have learned about this project has been through user trial and error.
I stand by my previous assertion that the question posed is answered in the wiki, though I admit (and I'm sure both Tiben/Seb will agree) that it needs tidying up. Essentially there is a core location which is c:\program files\xbmc and below this the various folder sets that make up the programme. The User data location is for personalisation files and configurations which will override the file information in the core location, therefore if you haven't made any changes or placed anything in the user data folder, then you don't nee to concern yourself with it.
Down to business, So what essentially have you attempted since I last decided not to help you?, or are we still at the same point - it just doesn't work, I need help
When you reply, could you provide details of your dsfilterconfig file, Do not copy drectly to here, but to pastebin or some other site. What build are you currenty running? From the snapshot - end of bug file you previously provided I noticed that ffdshow seems to be the default playback method - if so I would have to assume that it is an older build, as the newer ones comes with mpcvideodec as default setting.
On this basis, have you set-up ffdshow to playback the files, either in standard or dxva mode.
EDIT - Having considered your options it might be easier to start afresh on this issue - try downloading the most recent build - make no changes to the config file and see whether you get playback - as I said this build uses mpcvideodec as default and requires no other setting up (unlike ffdshow) and
should play nice right out the box.
