I was sick of messing with codecs. I found a great article here: <a href="http://www.mediasmartserver.net/2010/01/29/guide-using-mpc-hc-as-your-video-player-in-wmc-media-browser/" rel="nofollow"> It walks through a way to replace the default media player with MPC-HC. No more codec issues :-)</a> I struggled with this too… I was sick of messing with codecs. I found a great article here: It walks through a way to replace the default media player with MPC-HC.

I have tried both the Shark007 and the Minimalist method, but still have the same issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:I can play MKV within MC7, the audio is working my Onkyo SR606 receiver to Dobly Digital and the video works when I have Media Center in a windowed mode. As son as I make it go full screen the video disappears, but the audio remains. If I pause the video the picture returns, but when I play it goes back to black.It has proved to be very frustrating to figure out.Any ideas? I am having an issue getting MKV to play in Media Center.
