Media Player Classic skips songs on Tokyo Mew Mew

(1/3) > >>

IrkSplee:
OK, this question's a bit ridiculous, since I know opening/closing songs really don't mean much in the grand scheme of an anime, but darn it I like my minute and a half of cutesy pop before and after each magical girl show... *ahem* Anyway. When I started watching Tokyo Mew Mew, I was using Zoom Player - when I'd play it in Zoom Player, it would play the intro narration, then the opening song, then the episode, then the closing song, then the next episode preview. All normal, all makes sense. But I only got two episodes in before I finally got irritated with certain aspects of Zoom Player, and since the only reason I was even using Zoom was because it worked better with an anime I've since finished, deleted, and decided to never download that type again, I just uninstalled it and went back to MPC, which I like much better for the most part. However, it's acting a little weird with this Tokyo Mew Mew torrent -

If I watch episodes from this torrent in MPC, it jumps right into the episode without playing the opening narration or theme, then at the end of the episode, it skips right to the preview without playing the closing song. I'll admit that opening/closing songs can be one of my favorite parts of an anime, so this is actually really annoying. I'd rather not play Musical Media Players again - I like MPC, I'm sticking with it, I'm done downloading five different players just to get every single video I have to work absolutely perfectly - so if MPC really can't work with these files, then whatever, I suppose I'll live. But is there any way to fix it? I didn't see anything relevant looking in the settings, I don't like touching settings when I don't know what they do, and I can't even figure out why it would be doing this in the first place. I see the opening narrations and songs as their own separate files in there, so I figure that has something to do with it.

As a side note, I also opened the videos in Windows Media Player, just to see what would happen - it plays the whole video as it should, but it doesn't display the subs, and you know what, WMP sucks anyway. But the idea of it being better at something than MPC is a little worrying.

I'll give computer specs if necessary, though I suspect this is an issue with the player, not the laptop.

Al_Sleeper:
Do you have Haali installed in your system? It is necessary for proper ordered chapters support.

IrkSplee:
I do have Haali, and did before I posted this (not that I knew it was relevant at the time, but I did have it). Thanks for the term "ordered chapters", though - I did try answering my question through Google before coming here, but I didn't even know what on Earth to search for! After I had that as a base, I looked it up, somewhere suggested CCCP over K-Lite (I had K-Lite), I swapped over to CCCP, all's good now. That was beautifully simple. Thank you!

Krudda:
Though I prefer CCCP personally, there was no need to do that, all you had to do was download "haali" - which IIRC is included in K-Lite anyway, and tell MPC-HC to not use the internal matroska filter, but instead, Haali.
You do this via the options menu (open MPC-HC), file or no file, and press "O". You seem to be somewhat knowledgeable in this aspect, so I don't think I need to worry about explaining the process.

Simple in practise, yet I still haven't solved my issues with OC, so I suppose I probably should shut up before I make a bad suggestion and then proceed to be yelled at.

IrkSplee:
I did have Haali, but the only instruction I could find on Haali was to turn on "try to open linked files". That was already on before I went into the settings and it didn't change a thing. Other than that, I couldn't find anything about messing with settings in MPC, just three posts about "download CCCP if you haven't already". So I gave into that, and here we are. I haven't noticed any differences between CCCP or K-Lite yet, possibly because I watch almost nothing newer than 2005 and therefore don't need much beef from my player or codecs, so whatever. It works, I'm happy, I'll just not download anymore Blu-Ray/super duper hi-def videos after that last mess (higher than DVD quality has never done much for me anyway), problems are solved, now back to my cheesy shoujo goodness.

I think I did find what you're talking about, though, Krudda - options, output, check off Haali Renderer (it was at EVR Custom Pres. when I looked just now)? - so I'll leave it as it is now because it's working fine, but if something else goofs up, I'll keep that in mind.
