Video Previews drops to desktop

[eXo]

Hey guys, I've had this problem in teh past where Gameex displays the consols mpegs just fine, and even shows the backgrounds for each emulator just fine. However, when i move over a game which has it's own preview it will not show both movies at the same time, and instead drops to the desktop.

On my other computer this was fixed by a suggestion from heakraze to install ffdshow.

To give some background on this one:

FFDshow had already been installed. When i started gameex on this computer movies would show, but typically the beggining was garbled and more importantly the picture was upside down..

I installed the newest divx codec to try and fix this. This now caused it to boot me to the desktop.

I reinstalled ffdshow. This didnt fix anything, and it still boots me to the desktop.

What confuses me is the fact that at one point it DID show the previes, but they were upside down.

Uninstall DivX, and ffdshow, then re-install the latest version from the daily build site. Try it again, then if it still plays up you may need to go into your ffdshow video decoder configuration (which is in the start menu after you install), and find out which codec is being used for divx. It should be set to libavcodec.
