[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 927745, member: 82144"] Hello MP will do that until you deal with these settings: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/15_Customization/00_Configuration/9_Codecs_and_Renderer/1_TV_Codecs[/url] You're at a bit of a disadvantage to start with since you're running XP. In other words, you may not have too many options for those settings. W7 has pretty good codecs from MS that come as standard so it often works straight out of the box. The easy fix? Use the MediaPortal extension installer (shortcut on your desktop or in the Team MediaPortal folder in your start menu) to install the latest version of the LAV codecs. They're very highly regarded around these parts. Once you've installed that extension, fire up MP configuration and set all the codec settings shown in the link above as well as the other tabs (there are separate tabs for video, TV and DVD codecs) to "LAV Audio..." or "LAV Video...". No, it isn't really sufficient. You would have to check the "merit" rating on each codec installed in the system, then manually bump the merit up for the ones you want to use and down for the ones that you don't. Knowing what to do to fix this takes experience. I would recommend avoiding it and focussing on the MP side of things. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if you find that installing the LAV codecs causes preview to start working automatically. :) It isn't so much compatibility with MP as compatibility with the content that you want to use MP to view. So compatibility with the local ATSC or cable provider video/audio, or with your collection of recordings etc. etc. etc. mm [/QUOTE]
