MKV is a container, just like AVI - it tells us nothing about the audio/video streams contained therein. If a specific file won't play, turn on debug logging, attempt to play the file, then turn off debug logging, and post the log (using pastebinit) - there's plenty of instructions on the site on how to do so. So far, I've yet to run across anything the Chromebox flat out "won't play" so my guess is that the file is encoded in a non-standard way or somehow damaged, and for whatever reason Windows is able to handle that a bit more gracefully.

I had to test a little bit more, so I moved all the non working files to another folder. Then I used the file manager inside XBMC to try them.
And, there they work as a charm. So I cleaned the library, then copied back to the movie folder, and re scanned that folder.
Now it seems to work, hope it keeps that way.

Edit: It looks like it can`t add all the movies, even if there is local information. It cant find them with the scraper nether, strange as they have not changed the name on any folder since it worked.

Thanks again. Always fast answers! :-)

1. this has nothing to do with this thread as far as I can see. (ie it is not a chromebox issue.)

2. At least give us the name of a film that does not scrape. Do you really think we want ot read every line of your log?
