    Gigabeat S60, WMP, and Media Center TV Pack .wtv Files

    I recently installed the new TV Pack for Windows Media Center (previously codenamed Fiji). Media Center now records TV shows as .wtv files instead of the old .dvr-ms files. Now, Windows Media Player 11 does not show them in its Recorded TV section but instead in the Video section. I used to use the Sync Playlist "TV Shows Recorded in the Last Week," but it is now empty since WMP doesn't see the .wtv files as Recorded TV. Also, even if I try to manually create a playlist to sync the TV shows from the Video section, WMP fails to convert the files. I love some of the features of the new TV Pack, but I miss being able to sync my last weeks worth of TV to the Gigabeat. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks,
    Yogi

    It's new, developers need to update their software to work with the new WTV format. It will take time.
