Here are the specs of the AVI's it can't play, just comes up with a "Can't Play Video" message on a lot of AVIs. Latest firmware using Zidoo's media player. Plays fine in latest ZBMC 17.1 though.

Maybe I'm wrong, but seems that is the already known (unsolvable) issue of lack of license to decode DivX encoded video (don't know if by chipset maker of device maker). You can try to change on a copy of one of this files "FourCC" bits to "make" it a XVID video, and try to play it. I did it on a bunch of old DiVX encoded videos and now all are played fine. But is not guaranteed, is a try and error procedure, and "your mileage will vary"
