has anyone figured out how to stream 720p .mkv files to the tab? i've tried vlc stream and convert but that doesn't work. i've tried tversity and that doesn't work either. when i stream with vlc s&c, i just get a blank screen with no video but i get audio. with tversity, it doesn't even work at all. gives me an error saying video is not supported.

I have some success with Rock Video Player, and cifs supported kernel. I can map a drive, and browse files on my Windows 7 Machine, and pretty much play pretty much everything except large iso files or mpeg or vob files with the size of 4.0G size.

rock video player can play videos over lan? how are you browsing a mapped drive, with es file explorer? you're using clemsyn's kernel? which one are you using: clempatch10.9.3CIFFsvegan.zip or clempatchvegan10.9.8.zip? i don't really know the difference between those two. i'm on vegan b5.1 right now.

@rob, i am also using vegan 5.1, can you explain how you are able to play the mkv files, and also is those mkv files are main profile, is there any high profile you are able to play.
