ts files not playing on MP2 (2 Viewers)

[Greenhorn7]

Good morning, I am using MP2 since several years on a Win10 machine and now switched to a new PC with Win11. After installation, I realized that video files with ts extension will not play. I believe this is a codec issue (I have selected the LAV codec). Interestingly, the ts files will play with the VLC player which is also installed, so it seems to be related to the internal MP2 player.
I would be thankful for any comments, hints etc.

Hello,
please check here first how to raise problem reports.

• Which version of MP2 are you using?
• What exactly are you doing? Did you record with MP2 and want to play those files? Did you try to import external ts files?
• ...
• Please attach log files in debug mode after reproducing the problem

I am using MP 2.4.1
I have recorded a TV show and then tried to play it within MP2. This did not work (just a black screen). However, when opening the ts file with VLC media player or WMP, this works perfectly fine. So the recorded file is working.
As hardware I am using a Minis Forum TH80 PC with win11 Pro installed on it.
I would be thankful for any comments.

In the logs I can unfortunately not see, that you tried to play a recording. Could you try to reproduce the problem once and then upload the log files?
I see lot of unrelated errors in connection to e.g. AppLauncher. It seems sothing is outdated.

I'd generally recommend following:

• Uninstall MP2 completely
• Remove any left-overs in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MP2-Client"
• Reinstall MP2

All settings will be kept. You could use the pre-version of your new installer. Content is based on MP2.4.1 with a few fixes

I have this afternoon set the PC to its virgin settings and completely installed
LAV codecs
WM media player
MP2
Issue is still as described, ts files not running.

Here are the new log files

Now I see your attempts to play recordings. Strangely the failed playback does not even create an error., so I think it's related to LAV.
1) Can you try following things: Remove once the "Recording share", restart the server, the recording share will be automatically readded.
2) Reinstall LAV manually
3) Go to Settings / Players / Codecs and make sure everything is set to LAV

Many thanks for your fast feedback. What exactly you mean by removing the recording share? Sorry, in case this is a stupid question.

Go to settings / media sources / media sources configuration / remove media sources and select the entry containing "recording"

have followed your advice, unfortunately no change. I have attached another log file where I first tried to play a ts file from my local recording share (not working) and then played a wtv file from my external mediaserver. The latter one works, so the problem is only related to the ts file. Also, when trying to play a ts file from the external mediaserver, it will not play.
Further ideas?

one more thing regarding LAV. I did not change any settings after installation, I hope this is correct. Otherwise, please let me know in case I should change settings.
