Thanks for the quick reply.
I was using a nightly build 20110827-702ed8c-master
It seems to be the same problem for all my .wtv files which is weird. the files play fine in windows media center and player but I guess that is using a microsoft codec. Do you know any other programs I can test it in that use ffmpeg to check if it is xbmc or not?
Thanks
Simon

There could be a problem in the way xbmc uses ffmpeg. I rule this out because wtv files play perfectly here on Linux.
It could be that xbmc-for-windows does uses the WTV support built into Microsoft Windows directshow. Do your files play back correctly Windows Media Centre? If they do then you can rule out this hypothesis. [edit: disregard, your xmbc.log indicates that its using ffmpeg]
The symptoms you describe (lack of seeking, playback stopping after ~15 minutes) existed in ffmpeg between Dec 2010 and April 2011. Its more likely that you have an older version of the ffmpeg libraries installed and that they are being used by xbmc. Lots of applications bundle the ffmpeg dlls and dump them into \windows\system32. Search your system for *avformat*.dll, and uninstall/update the offending software. _OR_ try testing your wtv files on another computer.
[edit: look for the LoadDLL lines in your xbmc.log, they will tell you where *avformat*dll is being loaded from]

Good spot!
I tried copying them over but looks like xbmc looks for the specific version it was compiled with as I could not get it to work by replacing the dlls.
Has this problem been reported/fixed in the xbmc git?
Thanks for the help!
