This thread seems to get more attention so I'll try posting here. The Xbox 360 hasn't been able to play MKVs since version 2.6.5. MP4 and AVI is usually no problem though. I've tried playing MKVs using the FFmpeg, MEncoder, and VLC engines, but the 360 always just says "Can't play this content ...

Has anyone managed to play MKVs on an Xbox 360 using UMS lately? The only files I seem to be able to play with any regularity are MP4s and AVIs. I've tried playing MKVs using the FFmpeg, MEncoder, and VLC engines, but the 360 always just says "Can't play this content because it may not be suppo...

Same problems on the new 3.1.0 version. Also I never did find a physical log file for VLC. Also with VLC, I have been having problems with VLC 2.1.0 so maybe it was their update that broke it? Try downgrading to an earlier version of VLC It was actually VLC 2.1.0 that I had installed originally when...

Where would I find the VLC log?

Bumping this because the problems persist in the latest 3.0.0 release except now the VLC engine will not play the files. Also UMS no longer detects 64-bit VLC installs when the 3.0.0 b1 version did. I had to install a 32-bit version to test with.

Here's a new debug log

Greetings all. I'm hoping someone can help me out. Problem is, on any version of UMS above 2.6.5, certain MKVs that I have refuse to play on the 360 with any of the rendering engines. They work perfectly fine on my PS3 however. I've tried all of the 3.0.0 alpha versions as well as the new b1 version...

I did a search here and on the ps3 media server forums but I couldn't find anything answering the question one way or another.

Basically I'd be interested to know of UMS or PMS is capable of handling playlists for videos. Preferably randomized playback if possible.

Any info is appreciated.

Nah it's not just you. I had the same problem last night. I had to download and reinstall build 71 for the 360.
