H265 Playback - Works in WMP 64bit but not WMC7?

Having the issue as stated in the title. H265 encoded video works fine in Windows Media Player 64-bit but does not play within WMC.

I'm using Shark007's latest codec packs, which assigns H265 playback to the LAV codecs. Everything else works great so not sure what is happening here.

My best suggestion at this time is to press [Reset All] in the 64bit App and then select the [x] SUGGESTED settings checkbox.
Test WMC playback with no other changes.
Retain your sanity, use Shark007 Codecs

...and that worked perfectly.

Thanks for making these things idiot proof! (or almost idiot-proof, in my case)
