Try here

Media Control Plugin for Media Center - One great thing with Media Center is the all-in-one concept : you have all your pictures, music, videos and TV shows accessible from one remote control. Media Center customization is rather limited. For example, it was not possible to do a fast forward for "non-microsoft" encoded videos. And what about MKV or AVI videos which have multiple audio and subtitle streams? How do you switch between them? What about external subtitle files? This is only a few of the things that this plugin allows. Of course all these features are accessible using the remote control too! FFDshow is pre-configured in current releases to use this plugin but you will need to change the subtitle renderer on the Config TAB of the Settings Application to use ffdshow also.
The above Plugin is recommended by Shark007

The problem is your choice of codecpack. Try the Win7codecs, current version is 1.1.8

Once installed, open the Settings Application, go to the Config TAB,
you'll see an option to turn off Subtitles

 

[foreversilent004]

ok, alternative?

 

[Lebon14]

Alternative? The KMPlayer. No need of codecs and you can disable subtitles with a right click on the video.

Btw, VLC sux.

i kind of want to use MMP though.............

Look in the 2nd post, the media control plugin allows you switch them off.

 

[Shark007]

The Media Control Plugin will have no affect on Windows Media Player.

The answer is in the 3rd post down but foreversilent004 failed to see it because I editted the post and added the correct information AFTER he asked for an alternative.

alternative also, could be MPC + CCCP

Thats pretty much what I use for everything. I dont even know why I have WMP I guess to play some wmv files on certain website.

 

[foreversilent004]

ugh, now only one of my mkv files has no audio! and i played the entire movie just minutes before!

so i removed all my codecs to try other ones, but WMP and MCE still play them, even with no codecs installed

i was trying to get subtitles to work, since i was watching kill bill, but now it doesnt even have an audio track, weird!

 

[foreversilent004]

ok, installed the win7codecs, and all is right... kill bill now has audio and subtitles.. in WMP

no audio in windows media center, no subtitles... for only some mkv's

also, how can i make the subtitles only display when a language other than english isnt being spoken?

 

[digitalrurouni]

All your requirements will be satisfied with CCCP. I am sure other people can get other things to work right but seriously who cares...in software there is always a right tool for the right job and looking at all your suffering looks like you are just one download away from getting everything sorted out. Ditch WMP...seriously.

 

[foreversilent004]

i dont care if wmp works really, i want media center to work though, its too slick to give up

I don't understand why so many people hate VLC. I've been using it for years and have never ran into any problems or videos it couldn't play. And I download videos/anime all the time.

That said, Win7codecs that Shark007 had mentioned looks very appealing. It installs (and even removes older codecs) a ton of codecs that work flawlessly in WMP? I must give this a try. If it works as well as it claims, I will totally ditch VLC for this.

vlc? mkvs? any movies at all? codecs? problems? not me. i installed an ac3 filter, but thats about it. everything else has just 'worked'.

You installed Ac3filter only on the fresh windows installation and you can playback mkv? :sarc:

'vlc?' was in the form of me questioning why people would have issues with it. guess i didn't make that clear enough, my bad =P
