    Hi
    A good start is do download ffdshow, which includes codecs for most formats, such as divx, xvid, mpeg-4, h.264 and more.
    If you need support for external subtitle files, try this one, Vobsub

    BTW, wrong forum for this. You should post this in "Forum - Get support - Codecs, External players" instead.

    Good luck.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ?

    I don't think so, because MP has no way of knowing at which timestamp the external player stopped playback. Best way to achieve this would be to use an auto-resume feature in your external player itself. (MPC-HC can do that, I don't know about VLC)

    OK....perhaps impatient of me I know, but went for a full reinstall....and now up and running once more. Have no idea what was at the root of this problem....still wondering if it may've been due to a Win11 update earlier this week?

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.
