Hi ive got the gen 1 WD HD Media Player. I have tried loads of 1080p mkv files from H264 to mkv e.t.c.
This is the most recent file i have tried that i have brought up in mediainfo, could someone spot why this wont play on the media player. The codec is supported, the audio is supported. Im loosing the will to live with this box unforunately so far WD media players are a load of rubbish. People say that it will play prity much any file yet when i come to do so 1 out of 17! mkv files from differant sourses dont play get the horrible message of file format not supported chck the manual. So checked and it is exactely what is supposed to be supported.

Or from this point out what i need to look for and what needs converting. I used the software provided with the player for converting but due to my older laptop it would take a week just to convert 1!
Thanks
