I tried to play 2 files yesterday that Mezzmo is recognizing as music and not mkv's.
If I try to play them on my TV through the DLNA, it plays them as music, no video.
For whatever reason, Mezzmo is picking them up as music, and I can't seem to force video on them. I right clicked on the files in question, and Mezzmo properties is showing them both as music files.

I tried:
VLC plays them as movies on my PC without any problems.
Same if I put the files on a USB key and plug that in my ST60 TV, it plays them as video with the media player without any problems.

These are the 2 files in question:

They certainly look like videos :) Try deleting them from your Mezzmo library (i.e. select them in Mezzmo and press the Del key) and then re-add them into your Mezzmo library using 'Add To Library' -> 'Add Files'. After they have been re-added, check the 'Recently Added' playlists to see if they are correctly identified as video files now.

Those 2 files are part of an active folder in my playlist. Add a file, mezzmo adds it to my library automatically.
Since I can't delete it, I moved it to another location on my hard drive that mezzmo doesn't read, ran a maintain library + remove media that was no longer connectable, purged it successfully.
I added the file individually as you suggested, it recognized it correctly as a video. huh?
So, I reversed course again to retest. Moved the file to another location, ran maintain library + remove media, purged the record.
Moved my file back to my active/playlist folder, same problem is back. mezzmo added it as a music file to my library.

Interesting. Turn on logging (see http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread.php/419-FAQ-How-to-turn-on-diagnostic-logging). Stop your Mezzmo server and exit Mezzmo application using File/Exit menu item. Run Mezzmo again. Repeat your steps again to get the file added as a video file and then the steps to get it added as a music file. Once done, exit Mezzmo application using File/Exit menu item.
