    I have the WDTV Box (WDAVP00BE) and I have installed the latest custom firmware. When I play certain MKV files the box thinks they are music and then will not let me play any files (black screen when I select a video) until I re-format the harddrive and re-load it with new files. These all play fine on my v2 box. Any ideas?

    Thank you but it did not work. The videos still just give a black screen on my 1st gen but play perfect on my 2nd gen. Gonna RMA the box.

    you're going to RMA a product that hasn't been made or sold for over 3 years? good luck, please let us know how you make out.
    I was able to RMA a 2 year old live last summer so ya never know.

    Can you run MediaInfo on the video and paste a copy of the text format report here?
