no joy with a fix for this issue yet?

Let me try to wrap it up.

1) avc and vc1 are different.
2) vc1 is not supported on all boxes.
3) the codec in question is not vc1, so statement 2 doesn't apply.

Considering the same mp4 files that played last week & don't play now, point 3 seems correct.

You could help us if you could upload the file somewhere and share the link, using pm if the file is copyrighted. That way we can test.


Did a search for mp4 samples to save me uploading / you downloading a large file.
http://www.tools4movies.com/dvd_catalyst_profile_samples/The%20Amazing%20Spiderman%20bionic%20hq2.mp4


This one is the exact same, just sits on a black screen, so far all the mp4's I've tested are the exact same.

What is exactly in the media file? Container and codecs? E.g. using mediainfo?



Here is one that did play on Monday morning but hasn't played on any builds since.
