Does Media Center care how a hard drive is formatted?
macdonjh:
Fun fact: turns out the guy I was trying to help figured out he'd forgotten to format his brand new USB drive, so apparently, MC doesn't like Seagate's default formatting, whatever that may be.
When I first started using MC I formatted my USB drive using exFAT for use with a Mac Mini with the thought I could unplug the drive from my media server and plug it in to any other computer. Glad I did that, my current media server is a Windows computer. Though I also installed a NAS for our media files. I can't remember how those drives are formatted.

We're still having trouble, with movie files specifically. With his video files (almost all are .mkv files, ripped from DVD) he gets sound but no video. He says his audio files play as they should. Any ideas?
During set-up, when asked what file types/ associations he wanted he chose all of them. My thought was he didn't check the box for .mkv.
He then connected his USB drive where he stores his media files and <imported>.
The other question I asked was how he copied the movie files from my NAS to his USB drive. He used Windows (I don't know if he dragged and dropped or used ctrl-C/ctrl-V or what). I double checked; asking if he used the MC Move/Copy/Rename utility. He said he didn't.

Probably going to need info about the GPU the device playing back the videos has.

This is a really dumb suggestion but is it possible he isn't on a 'display' view and thus not seeing video?

I can get that and post it.
