I usually use the AVI format to rip my movies but on the advice of a friend, I've ripped some of my movies in MP4 format and put them on my local HD and XBMC V9.11 (on that machine) can read and play them with no problem along with the AVI files in that movie folder.
I have another PC, also with the same version of XBMC in another room, connected by a wireless network to the first PC but those MP4 files are not visible on this PC through the network. All the other avi movies are can be seen and played perfectly.
If I copy the MP4 files to USB drive and attach them to the 2nd PC, XBMC will find them and play them!
Is this normal or should I just stick with AVI?
