MKV - Audio but no video

Hey all,

I looked and can’t find anyone with a similar problem:

I’ve got the WD Live player, trying to watch MKV files, but no video.   AVI files work perfectly, but MKV files play the sound perfectly but just a black screen for video.

Anyone help?

Post the text output of MediaInfo for such a file.

Also what firmware is on your WDTV.
