Huh?

What UPnP player won't play an MPEG file?

My XBox 360, Myka, D-link DSM-520, Kodak Theater HD, PS3 and everything 
else I have tried, play them fine as UPnP exports.

Of course "mpg file" is indeterminate, there are program streams and 
transport streams, containing various codecs for both video and audio 
that can all technically be called "mpg files". Any DVD sourced material 
is also MPEG.

So the problem may lie with the particular "mpg files" you have tried to 
play. What files are you having problems with, and with what players?
