Set up the Playback Plug-Ins

Media Center supports playback of many of the popular media file types through input plug-ins included in the default installation. If you want to play other kinds of files supported by Media Center, you can download additional input plug-ins, as you need them (see Plug-in Manager) for more information on installing plug-ins and our Plug-Ins Website for a list of supported formats).

Media Center supports additional formats, including RealNetworks® RealPlayer® and QuickTime for playback. For the greatest range of media file support, make sure you have these players installed.
