I may give that a try.ĭo you know if that December update includes support for DTS wav playback? If so, I’m anxiously anticipating it, because I’ll be able to playback everything in my catalog at that point. You spoke about Divx tech preview earlier. The trick for me is always getting dxva working and it seems very few codecs actually support it. I think it involved disabling ffdshow as I read somwehere that it has no dxva support (?) I definitely need to make use of my GPU (Radeon 4670) because my CPU is not quite up to the task. I managed to get my mkv files to play smoothly in MC, although I can’t remember exactly what I did. So I hope this helped in some way, Let me know what hapens with your subtitle setup, especially if it doesn’t work, or ig you have any other questions. One final thing though, is that subtitles don’t work on the Xbox 360, which is really sad for me cause I have a ton of anime…lol. These websites have A TON of information a codecs to help get your Media Center where you want it. Another thing to do it check out hack7mc or thegreenbutton. So if you have video with surround sound capabilities, you’ll loose it.
One thing though, I don’t reccomend turning your MKV’s into MP4 because from what I know, MP4 doesn’t support anything more than stereo audio. To be honest I’m still testing out a lot of things, and learning how the Media Foundation pipeline actually works, so as find new things I’ll be posting it up here. Basically, if it like the codec it will display it beautifully in perfect resolution, if it doesn’t like it, it will display it but it will have pixelation. In my initial tests, it seems that the Xbox picks and chooses what resolutions it’s going to display the video at. Your Xbox will be able to handle it just fine, where the proble may lie is going to be in the computer. So try unistalling the Divx, then go through and mess with the subtitle options and see if you can get it to work. Sadly, right now the Divx tech preview isn’t supporting subtitles. Because of that, you subtitles won’t work.
If you have the Divx Tech preview installed and Shark007 installed, Divx is going to take priority. I read them all the time but am getting the feeling that it is impossible to get subtitles working in wmc7 with dxva?Īlright, so first lets talk about the Subtitles problem. This is the first time I have ever posted anything to a forum or blog so be gentle.
Also most my mkv’s are 720p 4.1 and just started to make 1080p 4.1 thanx to wmc7 and DXVA this is working, but do you think the 360 can handle the 1080p? Also I have installed the divx tech preview thing to for mkv if that helps. I have even thought about changing all mkv to mp4 but not sure if that will help. I would be willing to do just about anything to get them to work. srt files they were named and located directly and nothing. I watched video pushing pausing and mimicking your movements with shark007 but vobsub didn’t work for me. I’ve got MKV to work in WMC7 but can’t get subtitles to work. I’m a long time XBMC guy just recently switched to MB with WMC7 圆4 and am going to add a 360 extender. I loved your videos and explanations thanks for the help.
If you want to learn more about Media Center MKV support, either drop me a lineĪt my blog or check out the friendly people at See you next time! Which isn’t a bad thing because once they do, I guarantee that their plug-in will be the best on out there.
They offer 32 and 64 bit support, the only downside is that the projects is still in beta and subtitles are not supported. If you are interested in it, head on over to. One thing that I didn’t mention in the video is that Divx-labs is working on an MKV plug-in as well. Just as a note, there is a beta of the 64-bit version of Haali’s media splitter and I’ll put a link to it in my blog at. Remember MKV is just a container, you still need other codecs to get the audio, video, and subtitles to function properly.
You can get the 32-bit download by going to If you use this method though, this just installs the splitter, you will still need to install any other codecs you might need to play audio or other video formats. You can find this a Another method of getting MKV support is by installing Haali’s Media Splitter. One of the most simple ones to use, that also includes 64-bit support is shark 007’s Windows 7 codec pack. If you’re relatively new to installing codecs you might want to consider installing a codec pack. In the Last video I talked about setting up Media Browser, but this time I wanted The second video in my “Customizing Media Center” is up and going….so lets talk about it.
