this is, simply put, the best codec pack available. I recommend installing over a fresh install of Windows XP SP2.

@greg:

auto load Vsfilter is on, which is why it does work in windows media player.
I also tried updating directx to the latest version as i read somewhere that could solve the problem (it didn't).

@ Milenko

You need to enable the option "Auto-load VSFilter" in Haali Media Splitter options.

Then Media Center should load the subtitles like the other players do.

Since I upgraded to version 4.10 I can not get linked subs to work in Mediacenter xp. They do work in windows mediaplayer.
embedded fonts (in an .mkv container) work in both players.
I tried installing older versions of vsfilter.dll but the problem remains. If I have a movie.mkv and a movie.srt in the same folder it will load in windows media player but not in windows media center. Vsfilter.dll just doesn't load.
It always used to work with klite 3.90 which I used until yesterday.
does anyone know a fix for this?

@Alex & Flamberg

The pack is not responsible for generating thumbnails. Windows Explorer does that using a shell extension.

You must have installed something else that broke thumbnail generation.

Try this to fix it:
Start > Run > regsvr32 shmedia.dll

I'm thinking of going to a different codec pack. Why did they ruin it?

This is a very good pack. I use it all the time. However, it has troube with the ehome of VISA recently. It seems to be caused by a update of VISA, but I am not sure about this. The problme is that the ehrecvr.exe servcie always consumes all of my memory about 99%. After my try to disable some codecs, the requested memory is smaller. That is pretty strange! The ac3filter also takes about (471-125)MBytes if it is enabled. Thanks to the GSpot tool; I find a way to not use the ac3filter. Currently, it still takes 125MBytes!

Just went from 3.7.0 to 4.0.0

Media Player Classic was NOT included, in spite of all the options for associating files.

Had to download it manually, and all seems fine though.
