Certain AVI files fail to play

i have a few seasons of a show in my library in .avi, but they fail to play in channels. when i try to play them, they start to load then it just says transcoder finished. this is on the web player and appletv. they work in vlc/plex, and other .avi work in channels.

i saw some posts about missing metadata? i see a similar message in the transcoder logs.

You'll need to provide more details on these video files. Find the videos in your Channels DVR Server web admin and use the View Details option to get more info on them.

Paste them in here so we can get real details on their codecs.
