AVI's not showing in MA, but can hear vids playing
« on: September 27, 2010, 07:38:01 am »
Hi all,

I have the latest version of MA. Whenever I hover over a game, the screenshot shows up just fine, then disappears when the movie should be playing, to just a blank grey screen, but I can hear the sound of the video...Any idea of what I might be doing wrong or missing?? All my vids are AVI and obviously match as I can hear sound :dunno :dunno

Yes, simply install the XVID download from MaximusArcade site... this should fix the missing video issue.  I had the same problem... All good now!

Not even... just grab this codec pack which is known to work perfectly with MA:

If you have made a skin, make sure that the video element is in front and not being blocked by another graphic.
