Re: Windows 7 Media Center and .mkv files
[quote=”captain_video”]
Is there a way to get mkv files to play back on a media extender? I’ve got a lot of shows in mkv format but it seems to be hit or miss getting them to play with both audio and video on an extender, if at all. I’ve had no problems getting them to play in Media Center on the main PC. I’ve got the Shark007 codec pack installed with Gabest’s media splitter as opposed to Haali per the recommended setup at the AVS Forums.
The latest version of DivX Plus will supposedly allow mkv files to play on an extender but so far it doesn’t seem to be doing much for me. Could there be a conflict between the Gabest splitter and DivX that’s preventing DivX Plus from working? I’m not sure if I should be changing the settings in the Shark007 setup utility.

The confilct that you mention could very well be what’s happening. When I installed the RC of 7 I installed several different programs and it totally screwed my system up. That’s why I chose to install only DivX this time around.
