WMP and MPC stopped to show .mkv files that contain H.264 video Empty WMP and MPC stopped to show .mkv files that contain H.264 video

Hi,

Few weeks ago I replaced my old K-lite codec (from year 2014) with new KLCP v 14.5.5 standard because the old one did not play .mkv files with H.265 video.
Now both WMP and MPC do play .mkv with HEVC H.265, but they stopped play .mkv with H.264
WMP shows green screen without picture, but plays sound.
MPC shows just black screen and does not play at all.
My old K-lite played .mkv with H.264 without problems.

I also have AVS video converter, which uses own codec and it still opens .mkv with H.264.
If I convert .mkv with H.264 into .mkv with MPEG4(DivX/Xvid), both WMP and MPC play video without problems.

I looked in the FAQ of your forum but found there only description of the problem with playing .avi with H.264.

I tried Codec Tweak Tool -> Fixes
- Detect and remove broken VFW/ACM
- Detect and remove broken DirectShow
- Re-register DirectShow
- Re-register DirectShow from KLCP
This did not solve the problem.

Could you pls. help ?
Thank you very much in advance!

Disable hardware acceleration in the settings of LAV Video decoder.

A newer AMD driver may fix it, but I don't know if a newer one is available for your laptop.

Codec Tweak Tool - Configuration - Directshow Filters - LAV Video decoder
Hardware Acceleration - Harware Decoder to use = DXVA2(copy-back) -> None

The problem has been solved, Thank you !
Unfortunately I could not find newer AMD driver Sad
