Hi there! I have bought some time ago the smp n100 media player. I just got the chance to test it now and I may say I am verry disappointed about the device. I have searched before and I was glad to see it can play mkvs encoded at most L4.1. This is the output for one mkv encoded L4.1 I tested and got the silly message "File corupt or unsupported".

Can somebody explain what encoding this box really supports? I am on the point of buying a Sony TV for easier sync with the smp, but if this encoding is an issue, I will surely reconsider, even about the MP. Very disappointed so far!
