Am currently unable to play any video from my computer through my WDTV Live plus. have attempted reseting machine with the button and the factory reset, then leaving it off for 10 + minutes. running vista 64bit. error message says “Unable to play selected file. Please see user manual for a list of supported file formats.” All AVI files that have been played before on system. one directory of files will actually play, all my other ones will not.
Thought it may have been the MKV issue, but as I haven’t attempted to play any MKV files over the player, don’t think that’s the problem. However, here’s the mediainfo dump for a file that will NOT play:
