Update you XBMC.conf and set StreamExtension (or whatever it's called) = avi

Thanks for quick reply I am new to ums, Do you mind giving me the steps how to do it thanks again

Look into the renders dir (found in your UMS install dir)

Find the file called XBMC.conf

Look for "StreamExtensions=..." and add avi to that list (,avi to end would do the trick)
and then save close restart UMS

Great thank you very much that did the trick, I had to put avi first in the list for some reason when it was last it did not work, it is now working perfect thanks
