    Playback of avi files

    The media player on BH image wont play avi files, but it plays back mkv's no problem. Any way to fix this?

    Use VLC that will play anything

    THE TRUTH
    The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

    Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
    The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

        It has to be connected mate, you run vlc on your computer and vlc plug in on the box. The 800 can't play avi from the hard drive in the box. I think the 800se can but earlier 800s can only play avi by streaming to the box.

          Strange that it can play the more complicated MKV files! Thanks

            You can also just convert avi to mpeg4 and upload it to your HD and it will play them.

            As BD said VLC will do the job either way and he is right when he says the DM800SE plays avi without VLC or conversion
