| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix | |---------|--------------|-----| | No video / black screen | Incompatible video codec | Install VLC or K‑Lite codec pack; or use MPV which has built‑in codecs. | | Audio only plays in stereo | Player not routing to 5.1 output | Verify OS audio configuration (see §6b) and select the 5.1 track in the player. | | Audio is out of sync | Incorrect demuxing or corrupted file | Try Tools → Track Synchronization → Audio delay. If that fails, re‑download the file. | | Subtitles appear out of time | Subtitle file timestamp mismatch | Use Subtitle delay in VLC, or edit the .srt timestamps with a text editor. | | Playback stutters | Insufficient hardware (CPU/GPU) or high bitrate | Lower video quality (use a 480p version) or enable hardware acceleration: VLC → Preferences → Input / Codecs → Hardware‑accelerated decoding = Automatic. | | “Unsupported codec” error (non‑VLC player) | Missing codec pack | Install K‑Lite or switch to VLC/MPV. |

For a living‑room setup (TV, remote control), you may want Kodi or Plex. Both can scan your library and present nice thumbnails.

If you choose a player that relies on external codecs (e.g., Windows Media Player), install a codec pack:
