Video snaps not showing on windows seven RC

[papazark]

Hi

I recently installed the official Windows Seven RC and I'm running GameEx on it.

Everything is working well so far, except maybe video related stuff.

As for video, Windows seven is moving from DirectShow to Media Foundation, and supports several formats out of the box.

So, I didn't install any Codec Pack (so no FFDSHow) and I can watch the video snaps using WMP without installing anything.

But inside GameEx, the video snaps aren't showing (and video preview neither on the htpc side)

Does GameEx really requires ffdshow or some similar codec pack to display anyhting ?

Am I missing something ?

It just requires codecs like anything else, and uses directshow both for previews and the video player. I have not looked at windows 7 yet, but just a long shot, if its the 64-bit version it could be that you need 32 bit codecs.

that's strange, because I could watch the Snap videos using Zoomplayer, which is a directshow player, and it worked without installing anything.

(was using EVR for the renderer)

I just wanted to avoid installing codec packs

Ok, I re-did a fresh clean install of GameEx 10.7, and everything is displaying correctly now.

Sorry for the false alarm ...
