Title: Playing DIVX via media server
Post by: alexgit on August 28, 2006, 11:37:29 pm

Hi,
Whenever I try to stream divx file via media server, may MC displays black screen saying "Opening" and then ... nothing.
It plays ok MPEG1 files, mp3 - no problem.
So I am confused on what could be an issue. Actually I have had it for a while (like since MC10) but since I rarely play streaming videos
I never got to posting it.

Any suggestions?

Thx
Alex

I believe MC cannot currently stream video files (with the exception of MPEG1). When it's saying "Opening..." it's actually downloading the file locally. It will eventually play.
