[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 703923, member: 82144"] Guys, Looking back over this thread I realised that I was meant to be working on allowing you to try the Microsoft codec. I apologise for the delay in my response - it completely slipped my mind. :ooops::sorry: I've done some quick research and I *think* it should be possible to try Microsoft's codec without any code change from me. All you need to do is try the following: 1. Close MediaPortal if it is running. 2. Take a backup of the MediaPortal.xml file in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal 3. Open MediaPortal.xml in a text editor (notepad, wordpad, notepad++ etc.). 4. Search for "[B]<section name="mytv">[/B]". 5. Scroll down [B]within that section[/B] until you find the setting for the AAC codec, "[B]<entry name="aacaudiocodec">*******</entry>[/B]". In my case ******* is "MONOGRAM AAC Decoder"; for you it will be the AAC codec that you chose in the TV codec section in MediaPortal configuration (probably "DivX AAC Decoder" ;)). 6. Replace the ******* with "[B]Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder[/B]" (without the quotation marks). 7. Save and close. To test whether the Microsoft codec works, try to view a DVB-T2 channel in MediaPortal. Note that the setting will be lost if you go back into the TV codec section in MediaPortal configuration. If TV works then ideally you should also verify that the Microsoft codec is actually being used by connecting to MediaPortal's graph during TV "playback" using GraphStudio or similar (since you're all using W7 you'll have to have the extra DLL as detailed [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/newcomers-forum-240/my-own-frequently-asked-questions-faq-53790/#post502062"]here[/URL], but don't use the version linked there - apparently it was only for Vista and doesn't work with W7). Good luck :D [/QUOTE]
