MKVs just stop playing
Theres a few shows I always seem to have issues with playing thru my A300. Breaking Bad is the biggie, I start playing and then a few seconds into playback it just quits and returns to menu. This happens thru YAMJ or thru the filebrowser.

Has also happened with Boardwalk Empire too.

Only ever seems to be MKV files, here is latest mediainfo for one Breaking Bad episode that quits at 10 seconds, then again at 30 seconds if I skip the 10 sec mark.

RE: MKVs just stop playing
what group did this episode come from? It's possible it's bad commercial slices and lately a lot of episodes have become nuked for problems in the file itself and re-released. Some groups are known for releasing episodes that don't play well on any embedded player. I've even seen a nuked episodes, followed by a proper that got nuked and then a repack. if your using a tool like sick, it will not get the final working version of the episode in this situation.

RE: MKVs just stop playing
Group is Evolve. Thing is I deleted the file, unrared a second time (same file) transferred and it played fine.

Same thing has happened with this weeks episode, so am trying to transfer again.

I dont get it.

EDIT: Did the same thing, only at a totally different place.
