You should be able to download it again without paying.
Market has a very common bug, when it seems it asks you to pay again, but It will cancel such order at the same moment and will not charge.

Yep, it's me! :)
Could you, please, download http://www.mucommander.com/ file manager (Mac/Linux/Windows) and say whether its NFS module works with your server. :-)

Brand new user of GTVBox here and I've got a video that just won't play and wondering if someone could help me determine what's wrong with the encoding.

Hm. The container and video codec look good. But you will not be able to get sound of it as DTS is not supported by Sony TV. Try using Plex in HLS-enabled (transcoding) mode.

Thanks for the quick reply...I'll see if I can find another source. My Plex host server is ancient and struggles with transcoding (it's on my short list of items to upgrade lol).

Windows v0.8.5 worked with Ubuntu 10.04 NFS server but incorrectly shows file sizes > 2 Gb. Windows Nightly build correctly shows file sizes > 2 Gb but does not copy files. All versions incorrectly shows Russian file names (Ubuntu uses UTF-8).

I did some more testing of this and discovered that anything with DTS will not play at all (even without sound). I remuxed it, converting the DTS to AC3 and they play fine.

Just thought someone might want to know...

That's interesting. I have a Revue and it plays MKV files with DTS sound. They are just silent.
I wonder if it a Sony TV issue.
