MP4 is supported out of the box by Windows 7 and above. See the sections below for how to get it.) (Some AVI files will require an additional codec such as FFDShow. Opus should be able to play MPEG & AVI (via the Movie plugin in viewer panes), MP3 & WAV (via the File -> File Commands -> Play Sounds built-in music player) out of the box.

Formats which should work "out of the box" (MPEG, MP4, MP3, AVI, WAV, WMA, WMV, MKV.) The ActiveX + Preview + Office + Web plugin acts as a bridge between Opus and other types of components which can display files. If you don't get the results you want after disabling the Movie plugin, configure the ActiveX + Preview + Office + Web plugin to tell it to use something else for the appropriate file extension, if other viewers are installed. (Note that this will also disable some of the metadata columns which the Movie plugin provides.) You have the option of not using the default Movie plugin which comes with Opus, and using one of the video players which comes with Windows (or one from a third party) in the viewer pane.įor something to work in the viewer pane (rather than as a separate application/window), it must provide a Preview Handler, an ActiveX control, or an Opus-specific plugin.ĭisabling the Movie plugin may be enough to get playback to happen via something else. If your issues are with video files, this is often the quickest and easiest way to get video playback working. I have a usb connected IR receiver that came with the remote.The information below should help you enable playback of various media formats in Opus, and could potentially fix issues with other Windows programs such as Windows Media Player. It's a standard Microsoft Media centre remote Is there some extra settings that I need to configure for this - has anyone else had similar isuses - searching for mpc-hc+remote didn't bring up anything. It is purely using the remote that crashed the app

I then see a window complaining that it cant play the file because of the h.263 and AC3 codecs? I know this is a red herring as if I dont touch the remote after starting to play the file, it will play through to the end with no problems, then the player will shut itself down and Im back in MP. I f I set MP to use an external player (MPC-HC) I can use it to start playing an MKV file from within MP fine, but the moment I try to use ANY other remote button such as ff, rew, or even pause or stop, the player crashes and I have to ctrl+alt+del to kill the app and get back to MP. However I do have one major problem with it in MP 1.0.2. I discovered MPC-HC last night in an effort to solve some of my hi-def mkv playback problems, and Im very impressed.
