Hi,

 

Can someone help me to setup lav for MKV playback in WMC/emby, currenty I've installed the latest LAV codecs for x86/64 but playing the .mkv movie does nothing but change to playing mode but stuck at zero.

 

(previously used sharks codecs for mkv but want a minimum install this time)

 

I found the setup suggestion page on here that has the following link, but get page cannot be displayed and looks like thehtpc.net is down for me?

 

link...

That link seems offline again.

 

I remember seeing a wiki page or something on this forum about the perfect, minimal codec setup for Emby for WMC.

 

I'd like to use the LAV one but I guess the HTPC guy never got the page back online.

 

Anyone know where we can get this info from now?

Yeah I use that currently but the setup is too flaky to get just right and wanted a much simpler setup.

I thought the LAV solution was cleaner and more efficient.

 

Maybe just use the FFDShow solution then.

I'm pretty sure my configuration of LAV consisted of:

 

- install LAV

 

Worked for me, think I just installed and rebooted, works a treat without installing bloated codec packs.

Yeah that's what I used in the end.

 

Just the issue with having to deselect ac3 to get proper 5.1 sound in the config and it's all good.

 

So glad I don't have the codec pack headache to do!
