Codec issue playing back?

Post by haris7 »

Hey!

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask but I assume you guys would at least know.

I ripped a blu ray to my computer, it was successful. However, when playing it back on my computer directly from the file, I get no audio. Playing it through Plex or jellyfin works fine - so that leads me to believe I’m missing a codec or something on my computer to play it directly, but I’ve no idea how to find what codec it needs otherwise I’d grab it. Anyone able to point me in the correct direction?

Windows 11 for what it’s worth

I guess that you're using Windows Media Player to play the files and the audio you're not hearing is in DTS format.

In the How do I play MKV files? section of the MakeMKV FAQ folks are gently suggested to use a better player.
