Summary
Ubuntu Media Center should provide a huge codec support in order to be able to play most of the existing media formats.
Implementation
Ubuntu Feisty will come with a package called ubuntu-restricted-extras which installs main non-free codecs (multiverse repository). This package should be included by default in Ubuntu Media Center.
