 Replying to [comment:8 ramitbhalla]:
 > Yep you're correct sorry about that, it's only working on WMP thanks to
 the filters, MCE won't play with them

 That's because MC thinks it's a WTV file that is corrupted. The playback
 pipeline for TV is totally different than for other video.

 '''Way OT here but:''' Media Center uses WMP under the hood to play
 anything NOT TV. And if you are on 64bit windows it uses 64bit WMP while
 32bit WMP is the default player when access from the Windows desktop.

 So there are tons of permutations where a file can play in WMP but not in
 MC, in addition to this scenario where the WTV file is bogus and MC
 refuses to allow it to be played or even visible from the TV gallery.

 '''Back OT:''' it sure would be swell if this got fixed. One-stop trans-
 code to H.264 with preserved metadata would be super cool.
