Hi guys,

After a long while, I updated my HTPC's AMD/ATI drivers.
And I noticed that TV stopped working after that.
I checked TV-Server configuration and noticed that the software encoder that comes by installing "AMD Media Codec Pack" no longer shows as installed (which is set to top 1 encoder) under General --> Software Encoders.
"AMD Media Codec Pack", I installed is 12.1.
When I try to reinstall 11.7, it shows that a newer version is installed (which is true).
Could it be that AMD changed some naming standard of the encoder so that TV-Server can't identify it but AMD's installer does???

For reference these are the files I've installed for updating my drivers and software encoder:

12-1_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc.exe   <-- Graphics card drivers
12-1_vista_win7_32-64_xcode.exe <-- Software encoder
12-1_vista_win7_32-64_sb.exe    <-- Mainboard related drivers

From 12.1 amd didn't supply direcshow codec, but switched to media foundation
11.12 drivers are still directshow.

Thank you sdf. I didn't know that.
I guess I'll have to uninstall 12.1 and install 11.12 then...

Edit: This did the trick for me.

You can also extract avivo.msi from 11.12 xcode and install only directshow filters with 12.1 drivers
