hello everyone, sorry if this has been asked about already, but i could not find any info in my searches.
is xmbc able to playback files recorded on a windows media center computer. i attempted this earlier and made xbmc browse the directory that the windows media center (mce) files were in, unfortuantly from the "file" menu in xmbc it did not play these files. i cant access the mce box right now but i think the file extensions were .dvr- or something like that.
i checked to see if these files can be played somewhere else, and they played back just fine on a desktop with wm9 installed.
if anyone can give me some information about the capabilities regarding this file format/extension i would be grateful.
many thanks
jay

i am really suprised that dvr-ms support has not been included yet either by the xbmc devs or the mplayer team...
microsoft are about to release their xbox extenders for mce but it would be nice to see xbmc add support and beat ms at their own game.................anyone got any info about the possibilities of this being considered??

b) creates a .conf file... (if you have a sample.dvr-ms creates sample.dvr-ms.conf in same dir) and add demuxer=35 inside...
hi, this is great stuff, but can someone clarify this bit please??

greet guys,
i've been following this thread a bit, and i have the video playing on the xb, however no audio. video stream seems to play fine (sometimes a bit blocky, but decent)
could i be missing a codec to play the audio? if so, how to fix?
thanks alot!

ok, image quality is fine, but i have no sound on any dvr-ms files, everything now plays without having to have the config file though...
this is coming on really well so much respect to you for doing this...
issues...
1: no sound
2:cant fast forward or rewind faster than 4x or it crashes
3:everytime i stop playback everything sticks and i have to restart my box
