[QUOTE="compufunk, post: 634786, member: 288741"] When you browse with using the file mode menu, you'll only see files that the DM500 can play, I'm afraid your out of luck because Divx, AVI, WMV....... are not files a DM500 can natively play. It will only play MPEG2 files..... .MPG, .MPEG, .TS You cant just install libraries/codecs because the processor would not be up to decoding non MPEG2 formated files. The MPEG2 files are decoded by a chip which is hard wired for decoding that standard. If you really want to play your divx, etc files via the dreambox. Look into the VLCF plugin. Using a combination of VLCF on the dreambox and VLC on a computer, you can stream these videos to the dreambox in a format it understands. To be honest this can be iffy. Sometimes the stream keeps crashing and its not exactly easy to get back to where you left off, if you can be bothered. I've taken to converting files before watching. That way you get uninterupted viewing. [/QUOTE]
