[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1028515, member: 82144"] Hello again :) This is a playback (codec) problem not a source (Colossus, connection) problem. That preview function uses the DirectShow "merit" (preference) system to select the video and audio decoders (codecs) to use to play the stream (as opposed to MediaPortal [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/MediaPortal_Configuration/9_Codecs_and_Renderer/1_TV_Codecs']where you can select the codecs explicitly[/URL]). In terms of function, it isn't really necessary to get preview working but if you do want to get is working you can either install Filmerit (or some similar tool) and bump up the merit of your preferred codecs... [url]http://paul.glagla.free.fr/filmerit_en.htm[/url] The other thing you can do which [B]may [/B]solve the problem more simply would be to simply install the LAV codecs. This can be done with the MP Extension Installer - shortcut on your desktop or in your start menu. mm [/QUOTE]
