LeeBrennan Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I am running Screen Monkey via a touch screen, all in one desktop. I am able to run 'images / picture' and project them fine. But when I add video footage, the icon / thumbnail is there, but there is a error with the clip 'A clip failed to initialise while trying to play. This could indicate a fault with the media or the clip type'. I have tried converting the file to various formats inc. AVI / MPEG / MP4 / WMV, I have tried different codecs on AVI (DivX & Xvid) - all have the same issue? I can also play the files through K-Lite (mpc-hc64)Is there any advice?

J Pearce Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Right click on the clip and check the settings in the video options menu. Try changing them and see what happens.Right click on the grid and go in to settings. Check you are on the standard display renderer. While in settings check the log to see if you can get any clues as to what is up. If all else fails uninstall and reinstall screenmonkey - there is an option to reset the video codecs to default settings during the install, this has fixed things for me before.

Gerry Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I had a similar problem as I am a new user of Screnmonkey.Found out I needed to install the correct codecs. Got them from http://www.videohelp.com/software/K-Lite-Codec-Pack/old-versionsCan now play videos OK.CheersGerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBrennan Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks for the replies - no solution to either suggestion. Gerry - did you install the latest codecs, or older version? I have run the updated codec pack (full) Thanks, Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks for the replies - no solution to either suggestion. Gerry - did you install the latest codecs, or older version? I have run the updated codec pack (full) Thanks, LeeI found I needed to install the older 1110 pack. The latest full pack didn't work for me on my system, Windows 7. Also needed to uninstall the latest pack before installing the older version.CheersGerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Just done some more testing of Screen monkey.Installed it on my Windows 8.1 machine and found I needed the Codec Pack 11.1.0 for it to run videos.Also installed on my Windows 10 machine and it worked OK, but I already had an older version of the Codec pack installed.CheersGerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepytom Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 The latest version of KLight works but you have to select FFMpeg / FFDshow as the default decoder when you install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
