I am running version 2.3.15. I have MCEBuddy processing all of my .WTV files using the .WTV unprocessed profile to remove commercials using Comskip. I then watch the .WTV files on my Linksys DMA2100 Media Center Extender.
Most of the time, this works fine. However, occasionally, the video will not play back properly. It will freeze for 3 or 4 seconds, play for 3 or 4 seconds, freeze for 3 or 4 seconds, and so on. Sometimes, I get the "Network Issue" warning from Media Center. If I try to play the original .WTV file (untouched by MCEBuddy), it plays fine.
Also - there appears to be an issue with the skip ahead and skip back functionality - particularly as you approach the end of the show. It's as if the player is doing some sort of math against the original length of the program and not the shortened, commercials removed format.

Size is okay, your original may be in mpeg2 format so WTV unprocessed creates an mpeg2 format. WTV profile changes it to mpeg4 format which reduces tehs ize.
After updating to the latest build if you're still getting this format unsupported issue possibly your extender does not support mpeg4 in WTV. in that case open the profiles.conf, under the WTV profile change the codec from mpeg4 to mpeg2video and then try it.
