Weird MKV behavior with 360 extender

I'm really confused by this. They play perfectly in media center itself (on PC) and they start to play perfectly on the extender (i.e. play for a few minutes), but then they simply stop and the screen goes black. it's not an issue with the file itself (it seems), as I can restart the playback (well, switch to a different file, then switch back) and skip forward to a little bit behind where it died on me and it will play for a few minutes without a problem, then black again.

thoughts? I'm sure I'm not the only one to have faced this. I installed the shark codec pack, if there's a better one, I'm all ears?

going to guess it was a hardware problem. took pc apart, reseated everything, no more problems.

<sigh>
