LAV Filters 
LAV Filters is a multi-format media splitter/decoder that uses libavformat to play all sorts of media files. MKV/WebM, AVI, MP4/MOV, MPEG-TS, FLV, OGG are tested and will be registered for.
Other formats can be tested using GraphStudio. H264/AVC, H265/HEVC, VC-1, MPEG4-ASP (Divx/Xvid), VP8, VP9 have been tested and are working well. DTS, AC3, TrueHD, MP3, Vorbis have been tested. Subtitle Support. Stream Switching.
This extension installs the LAV Filter package, which contains a splitter, audio and video decoder for the most common formats that are used around the web.
Note for TV Users: The TsReader of MP 1.2.3 has problems in combination with the latest LAV version. Use an updated version:

No, we are testing new LAV Filter releases a few days and if no problems found create the extension package. Simply due to limited time it was forgotton.
when the aspect ratio of the input source changes (example: tv series 4:3 -> commercial break 16:9) the video halts -> only sound will go on.
you can handle the problem by turning off the "aspect ratio detection" in the settings, but afterwards you will have to select the correct aspect ratio manually for each tv channel or accept wrong aspect ratios with strange results.
