    Can anyone tell me why this video suddenly does not (media not supported) work on my Playbook? It worked just fine and many more like it with 2.0 and earlier. Thanks!

    May sound odd...but have you tried deleting the file and then simply just putting it back? Happened to me before. All I did was copy the files off, delete them on device and then put them back. Worked fine after that.. a PITA but, worked.

    I have the same problem suddenly on both my PB and my wife's. Never had an issue before. Quite annoying.

    Just normal VLC files. Suddenly they are "not supported" after working fine for a year?

    I tried that.....also tried adding videos via DM with the same result.

    Its gotta be something related to the resolution or bitrate because I tried playing videos I had converted for my BB Phone and they seem to work fine.

    Looks like the latest PB OS update fixed my video issues.
