I am working on a guide on how to get up and running from a freshly installed PC to get .MKV playback working from out of the box. Stay tuned for that.

As far as your files didn’t work, what format are your files in? Assuming .mkv’s? but what else? Video_TS dvd rips? .ISO? Would help immensely if we knew what your setup was in terms of content storage methods.

I personally don’t use media browser, I am old school and like the native DVD Library, and the My Movies plugin, I don’t like plugins that detract from what Media Center is at it’s core.

What are you looking for? Just media playback support such as getting proper .MKV playback? or are you looking for more than that?

 

[quote]It seems like many have different settings and opinions on how the Shark007 codecs should be configured.  If there is no guide, what about thoughts on getting a few of you experts to make one so newbies (such as myself) can adopt WMC much more?[/quote]

The problem with Codec Packs, is they are like religions, some folks you will find here will say NEVER NEVER use a codec pack, only install splitters and codecs you need for specific playback, but I for one have been using Sharks for a while, he really does stream line what he does, and makes it simple for newbs to use. I am working on a new guide to get Sharks up and running on a fresh clean installed system so again stay tuned for that.
