Re: Kinoma media player

OK, last night I copied three episodes of the Sopranos & the first two episodes of Sons of Anarchy to my storage card. I had saved them to my laptop hard drive with "BeyondTV"

I have watched all of them previously on the phone & they worked perfectly playing with Windows Media Player. After I was done copying, I started Kinoma & had it do its scan which took a LOT longer as it stayed for what seemed like an AWFUL LONG TIME on the video directory.

I then exited (or tried to anyway, how the hell do you totally exit Kinoma???) As I was trying to figure out how to shut down Kinoma, the system froze up (that's the very first time it's done that since I rebuilt the system) & required a soft reboot.

After the system was running again, I started Kinoma & went to the movie directory. In there correctly cataloged where all the videos. I clicked on the first one & got an error (it said "unsupported video codec). WTF, these videos play just fine in WMP (I tried again just to make sure). Not one of them will play in Kinoma even though Kinoma INSISTS on being the default media player.

If I go to WMP & click open any of these videos from within WMP they play just fine....................

While I am posting here, yes I am upset that I have to sit & wait for a new "incremental scan" every single time. When I click on an app, I want it to open as quickly & cleanly as possible. Having to wait for that annoying scan every time will make me think twice before opening it at all........
