MKV in Media Center

[handscombmp]

I seem to be struggling to get mkv files to play in vista media center.
I installed MatroskaSplitter and they play in media player but when i go to play them in media center it just comes up saying it can't play them.

I'm using mediabrowser and all the album artwork shows up so vmc knows that they're there. I thought with windows direct (i think) that if they play in one they play in the other.

VMC doesn't play .mkv files natively. I use ffdshow and matroska splitter - thats all you need!

You'll also need to do the following registry entry. Paste it into notepad, save it and then change the file extension to .reg then double click

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

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