Codecs, External Players (9 Viewers)

Post problems with Codecs or External Players here!
Live TV is a special case, because the data is arriving in real time. By all means try using MPAR for live TV - I'm just warning you that it may cause problems like audio stuttering and dropouts if you are unlucky (it's system dependant).

I migrated from Windows Media Center four months ago, and installed MediaPortal 1.9.0 pre. As far as I remember, the default configuration supports the playback of DVR-MS files, without having to make any changes. WTV files are supported too. Certainly I have no problems replaying the DVR-MS files in my recordings library. I note...

PCM is decoded/decompressed 'raw' digitised audio, so it's actually the best quality format (along with lossless compressed formats like FLAC). (PCM = Pulse Code Modulation, the technical name for the standard method of digitising audio).

First you put an m3u (playlist) file containing the stream URLs in the TV Server IPTV tuning parameters folder (c:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\TuningParameters\dvbip). m3u files can be opened in any text editor, so you can open one of the existing files to see the format etc. Once you have the m3u file with the...

Did some testing again and frankly speaking, I hardly hear any difference between DSD vs PCM. Must have been the receiver's listening modes interfering back then. Or smoked too much. I shouldn't be able to hear it at 42, but DSD seems slightly more crisp/dynamic but that's it. I hooked up a pair of JMlab speakers for this purpose, in...

Hi All, I've tried to do a search to see if I can find an answer on why I have this little issue when it comes to audio in some files. The trouble is the audio is encoded as 2 channel stereo AC3. It's sent to my home amp as AC3 via SPDIF as it thinks it's dolby digital. Alas, when it gets there nothing can be heard. If I change...

Hi guys Thanks for this thread. I've now managed to "correct" my AV audio delay problem as well using the slider. Is there anyway of having the selection permanently held in the database, so I find the position and it gets saved for next time I play the movie. That would be a great feature Cheers

Well, didn't get any responses but eventually I figured out that my problem was the same as the one in this post https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/no-sound-for-most-files.125442/ Used the same solution and everything is all good with sound now.

Right, the 750 is the USB card. I thought it supported FM radio when I got it some time ago, but the website do not say anything about FM radio. I trusted this over the last few days - but it seems I shouldn't have. I was able to dig out the manual - the manual for the device itself confirms the 750 USB supports FM radio, while the...

I believe you, and in any event, Thanks. Is it possible that whoever wrote the SD plugin, knowing what you said above about TV server supporting 3 of each type, mapped SPDIF#3 in the dropdown box to SPDIF#2 on the Colossus? When I went back an tried again, both #2 and #3 worked when I set them on a channel. Anyway, thanks again...

When I play a 3D mkv using the over-under format in my downstairs MediaPortal PC. When the video plays, you can see a vertical line down the middle, due to the video being split up slightly. In other words, if you turn off the 3D you will see the video gets split into 4 corners. It's only a few pixels displaced up and down. This...
