I have VLC as my standard media player, however when I try to open up a mkv file on my network (a remote hdd connected to the router) I get a error saying that I can't open the file.
When I try to open the file through VLC itself it shows no errors and plays the file correctly
I hope some1 can help me out on this 1 since I've been looking for the answer for quite a while now
Regards,
Rutger

Welcome to the XBMC forums.
Which XBMC version are you using? Which PVR backend? Are you using VLC as an external player for XBMC? Which operating system?

Thnx for the reply artrafael,
Sorry for the lack of info in my original post but I really had no idea what info to give in advance.
I'm running XBMC11, I'm not using a PVR. I am using VLC(2.0.5) as a external player
My current OS is windows 7 home premium 64bit.
Once again thanks and looking forward to your reply.

I'm looking through my log files at the moment but I'm not really sure what I should be looking for, should I paste a link to my log here or is there a more confidential way of doing so?

You need to enable debug logging in XBMC so more diagnostic information is captured in the log.

This may be a dumb question (and maybe I'm missing something), but if you have XBMC installed, why are you also running VLC? XBMC runs everything VLC can.

It's just personal preference, I don't like the xbmc player at all.
