Hello I recently got a WD TV Live SMP I love the unit!
However I have came across a major PITA.
My South Park TV series and House MD on my Usb Hard Drive do not play any of the shows in the series.
For South Park I get the Thumbnail of the show. However No playtime and when I try to run one it just goes black and onto the next file over and over until end of series.
I Looked at formats and I Thought about Ripping them all from Blu-ray disc’s to try again. However I’d like to see what is the current problem with the series I got and why they will not play.
I’m assuming it’s a Codec issue however after looking at media info I don’t understand why it will not play.
They play fine both in VLC and WMP on windows.
Here is the mediainfo of South Park 1 edisode…

I just want to figure out how I can make this able to play or if I have to pull out all the disc’s and redo it.
Anyhelp would be great and will Reward a kudos star to whoever helps me figure this mess out…
I can post the House MD file also if needed.
Thank you again.
