Hmm I'm having issues with playback of some avi files, all the other formats seem to be fine - and other avi's work well too, just a handful of avi's within certain folders.
Anyone having that kinda issue? As far as i know they're encoded the same way as the other files in the folders so there should be nothing different between working/non working.
I get an error to check the log files for failed playback - anyone know where those logs are stored?
Ok after a day of defragging and chkdsking I figured out that the only affected files are ones that I copied onto the drive from a USB stick while it was connected to my WDTV. That is, using the WDTV in-built file management tool with a USB stick connected to one port, and the USB drive connected to the other.
Found that I couldn't access these files over the network when shared from an XP box: neither from my Mac or from the aTV2. So....going through the motions of coping those files off the drive and back onto the drive. This seems to resolve the issue.
