i know this is a long shot, but can xbmc play dvr-ms files recorded on an actual windows media center?

if not, is there even a chance that this will be implemented? or is there copy protection against it.

i'll save you the embarrasment of being told to go and search the boards, as you *really* should have done, but i'll sum it up for you because i'm such a nice guy.

no, it does not currently play it.

it may in the future, because mplayer can play it.

it is not clear whether anyone is actively working towards it at this moment, but last i heard, if you grabbed the right files with the right settings it would play without audio.

another option someone mentioned was using videolan to transcode and broadcast to the xbmc but no-one stepped up and explained exactly how to make that happen with dvr-ms files.
