Support for WTV files? Microsoft Windows Media Center recording format

where do we stand with this effort? Can we now play WTV files? I have not had any luck with this.

Exact same issue - I'm searching to see if there is anything "new" on this topic - but stumbled on this thread first. I am able to play back the first 25 minutes or so and then XBMC dumps me back out to the prior menu. I did have some issues (choppy/dropped frames) with the interlacing but resolved those...but my wife wasn't overly thrilled when XBMC stopped playing her first recorded soap this evening ;-)

Had to go back and watch in WMC...

Is there any update or other info available on how to resolve this?

thanks

i ditched MCE and steered clear of .wtv and switched to NPVR - no regrets! Within hours managed to learn/create batch file to convert .ts file to other formats so that was great

I admit I have not tried NPVR but I have not seen any par that works as well, set and forget, and is also wife/kid friendly.

Does NPVR integrate into xbmc seamlessly where everything can be controlled from xbmc?

Not that i know of but using 2 separate stuff for livetv/pvr and media files/addons does not bother me if it's all good The best part is i am using a Hauppauge remote and learnt how to assign the blue button (usually idle/not used at all) to launch NPVR

ffmpeg was bumped so .wtv should work fine now. You need to build xbmc from source as the nightlies did not resume.
