Solo2 Playback support (xvid, divx, avi, mkv, mpv avc, dts etc....)

Hi I recently found out about vu+ and have been reading into all the different receivers.

I am thinking about buying a solo2 and a readynas nv+ v2 to stream my videos to the receiver.

I have read that the first generation (duo and ultimo) have problems playing certain files like divx, xvid and dts passthrough.

I was wondering whether the new solo2 supports all of these formats.

The main files i would like to play are avi (xvid) and mkv and mp4 (avc).

Most of these use either ac3, mp3, dts or aac for the sound.

I am thinking that the solo2 will be the same as the older boxes for hardware decoders but also thought that maybe it would be able to support codecs now with the faster processor.

If anyone can confirm any of this for me I would be very grateful

Thanks
