    media centre extenders?


    I'm looking for an MC extender which will play avi's, I was looking at thelinksys dma2200 but have since learnt it will not play avi's. Preferably I would like one with a dvd player built in, does any one have any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    DxxS.

    Hey man I came threw..

    Look at classes_root and for each video type the root of each node is empty. Something you've installed had taken out the Content Type and PerceivedType settings.

    So to fix use, and save the below as "fix_movie_associations.reg" and run it from the desktop. Now all the media should be playing in WMC and WMP

    Save the below into a *.reg file and run it.


    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.asf]
    "Content Type"="video/x-ms-asf"
    "PerceivedType"="video"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.avi]
    "Content Type"="video/avi"
    "PerceivedType"="video"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.divx]
    "Content Type"="video/mpeg"
    "PerceivedType"="video"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.flv]
    "PerceivedType"="video"
    "Content Type"="video/x-flv"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.m4v]
    "Content Type"="video/mp4"
    "PerceivedType"="video"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp4]
    "Content Type"="video/mp4"
    "PerceivedType"="video"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mpe]
    "Content Type"="video/mpeg"
    "PerceivedType"="video"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mpeg]
    "Content Type"="video/mpeg"
    "PerceivedType"="video"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mpg]
    "Content Type"="video/mpeg"
    "PerceivedType"="video"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov]
    "Content Type"="video/quicktime"
    "PerceivedType"="video"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.MPE]
    "Content Type"="video/mpeg"
    "PerceivedType"="video"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wmv]
    "Content Type"="video/x-ms-wmv"
    "PerceivedType"="video"

    Dxxs, it's not even necessary to use the registry editor; just copy/paste everything below into Notepad, save it as fix_movie_associations.reg , double-click the saved file and confirm.

    As for your media extended question, get an xbox360.

    With the mymovies add-on it's awesome!

    I will post a pic later tonight of my setup.

    Bump. I extend with an old 360 elite and it's great, mkv, avi pretty much everything I've tried to play has worked. I'm definitely looking at getting a new 360 slim for the lounge. Don't think there is anything better out there.
