I am trying to set up MC19 so that I can direct it to play video files from my library on my Xbox One.
This works fine for most video file types-- except WMV files which refuse to play. This problem also occurs when trying to render such files on an Xbox 360, with Windows 8's built-in Media Player, other Windows 8 media players and other Android media players.
This leads me to believe the issue is with MC19's DLNA server (or my setup of same).
In the simplest case, I select the Xbox One from the Playing Now list, right click the WMV file within MC and select Play. The file does not play-- after saying "Waiting" at the tope of the screen for circa 10 seconds.
The DLNA server log shows two "Gets" one for a numbered .ts file of which 0 bytes are served and the other for a .jpg file of which 3.4K is served.
The settings of the Video portion of the MC DLNA server are:
Mode: specified output format
Format: H264-TS high bandwidth stream
I note that this setup works fine for other types of files, e.g. DVR-MS files and .MPG files. I am also able to play the WMV files directly from other windows PCs over my network without issue and locally using the same MC19 installation that is acting as the DLNA server. Similarly, I am able to use Windows 8's Play To functionality to play the WMV files to the Xbox One.
Suggestions?
