Can xbian handle AVC1 codec for video?

I have a mkv file that simply does not play.

Is that a vc1 file, then check if your /boot/config.txt contains:

Code:

decode_WVC1=xxxxxx

instead of

Code:

decode_VC1=xxxxxx

A small bug in xbian-config

Thanks CurlyMo... that was it. fixed the config.txt file and the mkv file is playing flawlessly.
