Winamp crashes after playing .mkv

theillien · 21st January 2008, 14:17

In my last thread I asked how to switch audio tracks on multi-track files. I was helped with that then found that I didn't have *any* audio. I somehow got past that but I don't know what, if anything, I did to resolve it.

Now, I need help with Winamp crashing after watching an .mkv video. Each time a video ends, whether by manually stopping it or the end of the file being reached, Winamp crashes and has to be closed. I then have to restart it if I want to watch something else.

This comes after unistalling VLC and reinstalling CCCP.

Anyone else experience this? It happened to me before and then somehow went away (again, I don't know if I did something to fix it).

Can you provide a link to such type of file? I never saw this type, before, and, although I have VLC, I could try to right click|open with Winamp.

I don't think it is something that can be arbitrarily recreated just by playing a .mkv file. It has something to do with my installation. I'm going to reinstall both Winamp and CCCP and see how things go.
