There is a new section in the Wiki named [[Problems_and_Solutions | <span style="color:SteelBlue">'''Problems and Solutions'''</span>]] to hopefully improve the chance you finding a solution to problems you might encounter. As a consequence some content of the [[Tips_and_Tweaks | <span style="color:SteelBlue">'''Tips and Tweaks'''</span>]] section has moved over to this new section. Also both sections have been alphabetized, we hope this helps and improves the readability of the content.

Although a SetTopBox (STB) isn't a media player most media files can be played, like MKV, AVI, MP3, etc. These files can be played using Gstreamer. Gstreamer isn't something you have to select, the only thing you have to do is go to the file you want to be played and press '''OK''' or use the '''Play'''' button on your remote control and the file will start playing. To access your media files use the remote control, as most remote controls have a button like '''PVR, Playlist, Recording list, Media''' or something that points to playing recorded files. These names are chosen, as it is a STB (SetTopBOX) and thus meant to play recordings and not all kind of media files. If you want to read more about [[GStreamer | <span style="color:SteelBlue">'''Gstreamer'''</span>]] follow the link.
