I am new with MCE windows 7. I always used MediaPortal. I installed the MediaBrowser and it looks really nice. Unfortunately it doesn't play my MKV files? I found this on google

http://www.hack7mc.com/2009/02/mkvs-...windows-7.html

Can someone explain to me how to change the registry and where I can find the correct file on my computer?

Also would like to know how to configure the codecs for the internal player? I am using FFDSHOW and AC3Filter but how does MCE know?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Steve

well according to the link you show all you should need to do is install the the two codices and then run the regkey they provided and MVK's should play. As I read it there should be no configuration to be done.

This is the one thing that I see that may help you. I dont use MVK's so I'm realy not to much help. sorry

Thanks for your reply.

How can I run the registry? If I open the file it will just open another tab?

Yes, but unfortunately MCE isn't starting anymore

System restore didn't help? Do u have any other tips? Or do I have to install again?

What I would do is remove all of your codecs and remove media browser
then go to program data/media browser/cache and delete everything inside then restart your PC then install Shark007.net - Windows 7 Codecs
and Media browser again then start MC

Shark says his codecs will play MVK's in windows 7

MediaBrowser problems?
