    Changing the default player to Windows Media Player fixes this issue.

    In this case may I suggest changing the text recommending VLC over WMP?

    While a good suggestion, it’s not entirely that simple. It’s not entirely Playback Engine specific. In your case it’s better, in others it may be worse.

    For now, we provide the option for different scenarios, however do know that VLC does have advantages of supporting more video codecs out of the box.

    Gotcha.
    I consider this issue solved.
    Thanks for everything and keep up the good work.
    From a proud LaunchBox Premium user!
