I've done some further testing. I've added the following video filetypes to the playlist and they play perfectly on the external monitors:
.wmv (Windows Media Video)
.mp4 (iPod Video)
.3gp (mpeg-4)
.mpe (mpeg-2)
The filenames show up on the playlist screen, just like a singer's song request, when the files come up in rotation they play perfectly and upon completion return to the singers playlist screen. The behavior is no different from a regular karaoke track. The audience sees the videos on the external monitors just as they would the lyrics of a song. Excellent.
In other words, I don't have a problem with the feature itself, the monitors, graphics card, etc. The only problem is with avi files. I've evaluated known good files (directly captured by DV device, created by Windows Movie Maker, type-1 files, type-2 files, etc.) All of these files play using any media player I've tried... except for Hoster.
Could someone who uses this feature see if they too have a problem with avi files? It would be useful to know if this anomaly is unique to my setup or universal. Thanks.
