I recently installed WMCE 2005 to find out that mkv and ogm are not supported video types. Does anyone know how to make media center recognize them? I found this script on the web that supposebly adds support for mkv and ogm but it did not.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.ogm]
"PerceivedType"="video"
"Content Type"="video/x-ogm"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMultimediaWMPlayerExtensions.ogm]
"Runtime"=dword:00000007
"Permissions"=dword:0000000f
"UserApprovedOwning"="yes"

Hi. Thank you for your response.

I have the codecs required to play the file. I can play it with windows media player 10 without a problem. I meant playing it with the media center interface. The one that has my video, my pictures, my tv, my music and so on.

It seems like the media center interface recognizes AVI and wmv but when pointing to the folder which has the mkv i get "No Videos Found".

sorry i thought you meant in media player etc, media center is just gay basically, for some reason it just wont play certain files whether you get the codecs or not. it also doesnt even let you browse half your folders through media center. if you ask me i dont think the media center extension has ever been properly completed.

ill let you know if i come across anything that makes other extensions work as ill be looking myself

Thank you for all your help. Yes, itseems like MCE needs better development.

Anyway, I looked into that registry file from the post before. For some reason it's not adding all the strings. I did them manually and I got the files to work.

Thank you anyway.

This is an old thread I know but the reason the registry file didn't work is there are no backslashes in the registry paths. For MCE to let you see/browse MKV & OGG files, the .reg file should look like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ogm]
"PerceivedType"="video"
"Content Type"="video/x-ogm"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Multimedia\WMPlayer\Extensions\.ogm]
"Runtime"=dword:00000007
"Permissions"=dword:0000000f
"UserApprovedOwning"="yes"


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mkv]
"PerceivedType"="video"
"Content Type"="video/x-matroska"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Multimedia\WMPlayer\Extensions\.mkv]
"Runtime"=dword:00000007
"Permissions"=dword:0000000f
"UserApprovedOwning"="yes"
