Not Supported File Format Error Streaming MPG to Samsung TV

Post by maximus350zx » Tue Jun 07, 2011 1:41 am

I have a computer running Windows Home Server and I have about 700 movies in MPG format on it which stream to my Samsung TV perfectly. For some reason I have one movie that appears on the TV but when I click on it to play it I get the "Not Supported File Format Error" Whats odd about this is that I can stream the movie to a DLINK DMA 2100 Windows media extender and if I click on the movie in the Twonky Server Manager Web interface, it plays fine on my PC.

I have rebuild my database and my next step is to re-rip the movie but any advice would be appreciated

It sounds to me like that file might have some corruption. This is quite common. Some devices deal with this better than others. I've used software to fix corrupted audio files before, but I don't know if such a thing exists for video files.
