My Videos & WMV

[ydekmekji]

I tried adding wmv to the my videos list of extensions, but for some reason it's not playing. I thought that GBPVR is supposed to play anything that windows media player can play, right?

How did you add it (ie did you simply put |wmv at the end of the accepted file extensions) what exactly does it do when you go to play the file, and are you trying to do this on the PC or the MVP?

wmv should play fine, they work fine on my htpc.

[ydekmekji]

Yup, I just put '|wmv' there. I'm trying to do it on a pc. when i click to play, it just returns me to the main menu but other videos (in .mpg format) play fine!

try it in the video library or another video plugin.

I tried it in a couple of other video plugins... still no luck. It sees the wmv files but can't play them.

you probably can not play them in windows media either?

Having Elecard software on your machine can cause problems with WMV playback. If this is the case for you, try running the Elecard Components Manager and disabling everything except the video decoder.

i don't have elecard software--i use hauggepauge stuff. Also, i can run it in windows media player!

If you download GraphEdit.exe (google for it), and select 'render media file' from the menu and select your WMV file, what happens? The should provide some valuable clues.
