hello everyone.
new to all this so any advice would be great. has anyone got a raspberry pi running raspbmc to play videos from mezzmo . have tried various profiles , folders and film titles show up but dont play .thanks:)

Hi,
it looks like the raspberry pi does not support MPEG2 video but will play MP4 files, you can try using the 'Amazon Kindle Fire' device profile as this uses MP4 and does not support MPEG2.

Thank you Peter. Will try that tonight. I will also purchase MPEG2 license and let you know results.

Set transcode profile to Kindle Fire but still no video. I am just about to order MPEG2 license. Will keep you posted.

If still no success, then send us a set of logs and we may see the problem. Turn on logging (see http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread.php/419-FAQ-How-to-turn-on-diagnostic-logging) and restart your Mezzmo server. Connect to Mezzmo server using your Raspberry and try playing some files. When they fail to play, stop your Mezzmo server and exit Mezzmo. Zip up all the logs and send them to us at support [at] conceiva [dot] com.

Added MPEG2 & VC-1 support and still didnt work. Set transcoder to PS3, no go. In desperation reinstalled Raspbmc and addede a nightly build, not the pvr one, and now it works. Yippee. Thanks for the help.
