Certain movies I'll hit play and even though I can hear it playing, I can't see the video, it doesn't go blank or anything, it just stays on the movie library as if I haven't pressed play. It's running though as I can hear it.
Anyone else came across this?
Thanks

Raspberry pi? If so you need the codecs.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that. It's a windows 7 machine. I'm fairly certain it's not a codec issue as 99% of my movies work, all the same format.

I've seen something similar on my Intel 'buntu box when the graphics driver goes for a vacation ... bug in the open source driver, I think, and I can't use the official one since Intel have decided that LTS means nothing to them. However, when it bites me, it's for all files and not just some.
I'd dig into the files with mediainfo and try to find what's different/similar about the offending ones. If it's always the same ones, then it's clearly an argument between format and player - you're then into re-wrapping, re-encoding, trying with/out hardware acceleration, checking interlacing or not, and so on.

I had a feeling, we don't very often have working audio but no video
