mp68terr Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Any error message? Likely a missing video codec. What about giving a try to a portable standalone player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it still doesn't answer your question, post your thread on K-Lite's dedicated forum instead (register on that forum first before posting). Be sure to put all complete details you have. http://codecs.forumotion.net/ And with regards to your reply and my original question, you didn't specify whether your video drivers are updated or not and also the details of the video file itself you didn't elaborate (file format, codec, etc.). The more you elaborate, the better the clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No codec pack here (do a search for "DO NOT INSTALL CODEC PACKS!"), only using LAVFilters (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=156191 is one of the links). Did not use it for years, but there was a tool called gspot to define the required codecs to play a media file (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/).

sky19 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Did you install mpc-hc along with k-lite codec pack? Try watching a video with it. Last unofficial mpc-hc with newer LAV filters: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=175209 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rach Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 black screen with audio usually means an issue with hardware accelerated decoding. Try update graphics driver to latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, your audio driver is a question mark here, whether you have updated it or not. And I don't see you post the same question at K-Lite's forum, which I was telling you to do so. They can able to pinpoint the problem on your video file and/or software, as long as you can give all details to them. Also, please elaborate details on the video that you played, use MediaInfo for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rach Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Okay then make sure WMP uses LAV Filters https://www.codecguide.com/faq_wmp.htm Quote Q: Why are LAV Filters and ffdshow not getting used by WMP and Media Center on Windows 7/8/10? A: Windows comes bundled with decoders for several video formats, including H.264 and Xvid. These decoders from Microsoft are used by default by most DirectShow applications, including Windows Media Player and Media Center. If you prefer using LAV Video decoder, ffdshow, or some other third party decoder, then you can use Codec Tweak Tool to adjust the preferred decoder settings in Windows 7/8/10. This tool is included with the K-Lite Codec Pack and is also available as a standalone application. The K-Lite Codec Pack already automatically adjusts the preferred codecs settings for the most common video formats. It uses specials settings to make Windows select the decoder based on the filter merit. This is similar to how things work on older Windows versions. However, the preferred decoder settings only have effect when WMP uses DirectShow for playback. In many cases it actually uses a different type of codec from Microsoft, namely Media Foundation. It does that for example for AVI, MP4, M4V, MOV, M2TS, and WMV files. On Windows 10 also for MKV files. There are several ways to make WMP use DirectShow instead of Media Foundation: Rename your file. Give it a file extension for which Media Foundation isn't used. For example .video instead of .mkv Or .mpv4 instead of .mp4 Disable Media Foundation with the Codec Tweak Tool. This is not recommended, because some application and games require Media Foundation for video playback. Unlike WMP, those are not capable of falling back to using DirectShow. Disable decoders from Microsoft with the Codec Tweak Tool. Also not recommended. Try changing hardware decoder to use on LAV Video setting. If DXVA2 Native doesn't work than try DXVA2 Copy-back.
