Have you installed LAV Filters for your video playback? If not, please do so and report back with an updated log.txt file if still an issue or let us know that the issue is resolved.

Does the video play normally outside of GameEx?

**cnells2000** · August 21, 2020

yes sir all movies play just fine some are mp4 some are mkv. they used to play/fast fwd/rewind just fine. as well as all the other 800 attract game videos as well for the screensaver. its just in the front end. its been doing this for months now and i really love the screensaver/music feature. i started to just go on a codec binge and download every codec known to man. but i dont know......

If you have multiple codecs installed that could be your problem. Less is more. Can you try uninstalling all but the LAV filters?

i just installed k-lite codec pack and advanced shark codecs pack. that got the videos to play when i select them. i still have lav filters installed.

this is whats happening along with the log once more. these videos below are when i select and play them versus when i let the screensaver play.

Overnight I had time to try gameex out a little more. I found that the attract mode works in gameex lite and gameex (simple mode). this was fantastic that i had it working again but my music no longer plays randomly and the multimedia section where i keep my movies and tv shows is completely missing. the only thing i use gameex for is the attract video/music feature. i have no emulators installed or anything on the frontend.

Here i have the videos and the logs and the gameex ini. Please help me fix this. i love this feature.
