Hi guys, I’ve just bought a 2Tb elements player and am feeling underwhelmed by it. Didn’t research it well enough I guess. Have found the solution to the DTS sound problems on these boards but now I have a really annoying problem with some MKVs.
One in particular will play for approx 7 mins then the screen goes black, audio stops and the next film on the disc starts playing. Happens in the same spot everytime. If i skip past this spot using the search option or the FF button it carries on playing for a bit and the same thing happens. The file itself I don’t think is corrupt as it plays on my laptop fine but it also plays fine from an external HDD when connected to my samsung blue-ray surround kit.
Anyone encountered this sort of problem before or have a work around? The mediainfo for the file is:-
