MKV file issues as well

[raven219]

Like many other users I am experincing issues with MKV files. The file below plays with no sound and when I hit stop, "Could not play" flashes up and stops the unit from playing anything.

I have subtitles turned off and I have tried the remux guide to no avail. Any advice please?

I have the same with all matroska/MKV files?
Worked fine on my old C200, but it's not working on my new C300 :-(

I just updated to the newest firmware, and now it's working again :-)

Well I fixed it. Load files to NAS and use a WDTV Live. Works first time.

Seriously, I have the A100 since it has been released. This is now rendering it useless. If it wasn't for its other features, this would be the death knell.

A100 is a lot older then the WDTV Live so no surprise it won't do the same...
