Topic: Problem playing MKV files in MPC-BE

I am using MPC-BE v1.4.2.4752 (x86) + LAV + madVR

When I play any MKV video, I cannot use the seekbar, the moment I move it to any other portion of the movie, the player just shows me a black screen

I then tried opening it in Windows Media Player and it plays and seeks just fine.

what could be the issue?

It's not onl that 1 video, but any MKV file I try playing

Did you clean your sуstem from third party codec packs and install latest LAV Filters?

Re: Problem playing MKV files in MPC-BE

yes bro, freshly formatted system nothing installed but the latest LAV, madVR, ffdshow, and avisynth

in the codecs, I have set LAV/Cuda in the external filters + LAV Audio + LAV Splitter + ffdshaw raw video filter

Nothing strange in your Filters list.
Did you try MPC-HC 1.7.3 from SVP full package? Is there seek problems and black screen too?

  • Thanks: 21

Re: Problem playing MKV files in MPC-BE

MAG79
yes bro, I tried both, and both on a clean install of Windows 7 Pro

I just noticed this doesn't happen with all MKV files ,just some of them

but then, why can WMP play them and seek fine and MPC-HC/MPC-BE can't

maybe you can login to my teamviewer tomorrow to have a look, i will PM you

thanks a lot

Re: Problem playing MKV files in MPC-BE

Now I know why my problem happend on both MPC-BE and MPC-HC

I just tried disabling LAV Splitter, same result

tried changing the DirectShow Video to Default from what I had it before (madVR), same result

tried disabling LAV Video decoder, same result, then I finally found out the problem. When I set LAV to CUDA, the seek doesn't work in MKV files, if I set it to DXVA it works. I am using the latest version LAV Filters v0.61.2

Why isn't CUDA working for seeking only on MKV files?

Thank you for details.

It is question time LAV author.
