Unfortunately I can not get ffshow to work for h.264 files/live TV !
The filter loads and the graph is builded fine but no outout is rendered and then after about a few secnds MP crashes.
h.264 playback works great in MediaPlayer and Visat Media Center but in MP it just doesn't start rendering.
Normal MPEG2 live TV and .ts files are fine.
EDIT: meanwhile I figured out that the problem seems to be that the MP TsReader sends the h.264 video as MPEG2 to the ffdshow filter. When moving the mouse pointer over the FFv tray icon I can see that it says "Input: libavcodec h264" when playing with MediaPlayer but "Input: MPG2 (libavcodec mpeg2video) when using MediaPortal
I am using build 18463
Any idea ??

Thanks for your comment!
You are running Vista , it must be, I have tested your findings, and can only reproduce them on Vista OS..
with XP it works perfectly.. (like it should)..
So I guess I let myself on thin ice now with my (optional) codec install on vista..
My guide is not intended to bring out new problems
..
I am removing the codec install from the instruction , untill i am sure it works perfectly (like the same install does on XP ).. Otherwise I could be discussing this codec stuff endlessly
