Nice!
Can it also play .mkv?

I haven't verified that yet! All divx in .avi that I've thrown at it so far have worked fine though!

.mkv works fine. I verified it yesterday.

Dear Alientourist,

Could you tell me where in IrRemote I can find the right settings for my TV? Ive got a LG 37LD420.. but I cannot find the model in IR Remote.

Thanks for your help!
