I have some .avi files (of unknown origin / codec) that MC16 (set to RO Standard) won't play reporting "The media types of the selected files are not supported for playback (<none>)".
These files play just fine in Windows media player.
They also play back just fine on my office PC (\\Funkyboss) in Media Center set to RO Standard as well.
So I've done something to bork out this one particular install on this PC (it's known as \\HTPC) but for the life of me can't imagine what it was.
So I guess I'm just looking to be pointed in the right direction or some advice on which button to push next
Here's what MC says about the system:
