play wtv-files (win7 recordings)?

Post by powerkutte »

hi there,

XBMC(4xbox) does not like WTV files, does not even list them or only partial.
Is there a reason? can wtv. be implented? i dont want to convert all my recordings (quite some series) to watch them :-)

"Video is encoded using the MPEG-2 standard and audio using MPEG-1 Layer II or Dolby Digital AC-3" No problem for XBMC4XBOX to decode any of those streams.

I note that mainstream XBMC also has problems...

Problem may be the container format:"WTV does not use ASF as the underlying container format."
