    Was it ever working? You may have to get codec's are unknowingly unstalled codecs through another program.

    Also depends on what kind of avi it is.

    I had to get a codec to allow WMP to play M-JPEG AVI files.

    It was working before.

    WMP & VLC have no problem playing these files. But then the Media Centre, just goes straight to finished, then displays a message, "unable to play the file".

    Its a strange scenario but just must be a simple problem.

    IN similar threads I see that re-installing the codec pack solves problems, gonna give that a whirl and hopefully that its problem solved after that

    The re-installation sorted the problem, thanks for the help mate
