What file formats are affected?
Do WMV files work? Do AVI files work? Do MPEG files work?

Hi zachd,
The mp3, m4a, aap and 3gp files do work
But, the .mov and .torrent files don't.
Cheers

How are you attempting to play those files that don't work?

..torrent is not a media file type. It's just a method for obtaining some
random file.
..mov is to be played back by the QuickTime Player only, really.

That makes sense: if it doesn't work in QuickTime Player, it's not likely to
work elsewhere. You would want to look into QuickTime support for problems
with .mov files. =\
