That may be part of the answer. WMC is not using the LAV CODEC. WMC is probably using a different CODEC for the AC3 in the MP TS than it is for the WMC files. Whatever AC3 CODEC WMC is using does have trouble controlling audio volume over HDMI. I have not tried controlling the volume out an analogue connector. Thanks.

AW: Annoying CI OSD asking continuously for Rights Check my try before you posted your modification was to: - catch the ci menu object - fill the ci dialog / notify dialog - set ci menu object = null - do modal. this way I need only the single variable without list. the thing I missed was the Reset() part.

My solution was to get a new TV Tuner (In my case, it was the OTA tuner for Xbox One). I chose that as I still currently have DirecTV on my main TV, but eventually I do plan on canceling it. When I do, I'll move the tuner to the Xbox, but in the meantime I have the new tuner card working great with MP2. I'll reply over there as well.
