Ok, so:
Media Player Classic in the current CCCP Codec pack plays my mkv's brilliantly with picture without subtitles
BS Player in it's own pack + codecs plays my mkv's brilliantly without picture with subtitles.
BS Player then notes that I'm missing the Haali Media Splitter and FFD Show, even after it downloaded them for me.
Both players + codecs are tried out WITHOUT the other being installed (to avoid them interfering with eachother) and I'm on a clean 7 install.
I don´t understand why BS Player won´t work. It baffles me.
MPC is easy, FFD Show doesn´t work.
Anyone else found a way to watch mkv Anime?
EDIT: Got it running.
In Media Player Classic, goto: View -> Options -> Playback and check the "Auto load subtitles" box.
If this doesn't work:
1. View | Options
2. Go to
External Filters 3. Hit
Add Filter... 4. Choose
DirectVobSub (auto-loading version) 5. Where it says Prefer/Block/Set merit:, select
Prefer
