I have been trying to figure out how to get bsplayer to play some 720p and 1080p .wmv files I have using the HW decoder. It will only play them using the SW decoder which of course is extremely slow due to the resolution. Is there a way to get HW decoded .wmv files to play?

Tablet: Pantech Element
CPU: ARMv7 Neon

Details of one of the .wmv files that won't use HW decoding.

I know the tablet can support HW decoding of .wmv files as I have used other players and they do HW decoding of the .wmv files. Problem is I need to use the very handy LAN feature as my files are on a network share. Also it plays all of my MKV and MP4 files without issue using HW decoding.
