Play media files from usb stick ?

[packmanuk]

I'm trying to get an avi file to play on the dm800hd from a usb drive.

I don't think I have a media player installed and I get a message about gstreamer not installed.

Where do I get this plugin and what else do I need to do to get it working ?

it can't play avi files from the usb or hdd
you have to stream them from your pc using vlc on your pc and the vlc plugin on your dm

it can play these formats directly from usb or internal hdd

mpeg 1 + 2
vob
Mp4
MKV

My DM800se clone arrived yesterday and I can confirm it plays avi files via usb or harddrive. It's the ultimate machine.
