I just switched to a Mac and starting to figure out how to play DVR-MS files recorded off Vista Media Center. The problem is that some file plays, some files do not. I can't figure out any reason why some of them don't play at all. It doesn't seem to be related to file size (some 8gb files play fine some don't) or file name. For example, 1 HD (OTA) recording of America Got Talent works, but another recording from the same channel does not work.
I have SMB sharing of the Recorded TV folder on the media center machine. On my Mac, I connected to the share just fine, I can access all the dvr-ms files. I'm running OSX 10.5.7 on the current generation (2009) Mac Mini, and XBMC 9.04.1 (SVN-20677M).
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: removed references to SMB in title, as that has been ruled out.
Here are some debug logs relating to the failed playing: http://pastebin.com/m2d8b8c5f
This is a log of a playable dvr-ms file: http://pastebin.com/m7b4ef44f
