[QUOTE="FiftyFour##, post: 1193480, member: 159493"] Hi Lehmden, I followed your suggestion of copying one of my MP4 video files to "Lennie". It wouldn't play for me. This test ruled out my network causing the problem. This test also narrowed my problem to playing MP4 files as your post confirmed that TV recordings use a .ts format. I decided to install an MP2 Client only on another laptop ("Dellie") and attached it to the MP2 Server on "Home". I was able to play TV, TV Recordings, Photos, Music and VIDEOS. Success. I compared the MPEG4 settings on "Dellie" with "Lennie". I found there were 4 codecs for MPEG4 (LAV, MainConcept x 2, Microsoft) on "Lennie", while there were only 2 codecs for MPEG4 (LAV and Microsoft) on 'Dellie". Both devices were using the LAV Video Decoder as the codec for MPEG4. My best guess is that the MainConcept codecs are causing some sort of conflict with the LAV codec on Lennie. I tried using the other 3 codecs instead of the LAV codec in MP2, but they didn't work for me. So, I'm left in a catch 22 situation with "Lennie". If I remove my apps, then I will probably get MP2 Client working, and if I don't remove my apps, MP2 will remain broken for playing MPEG4 files. I've decided I won't remove by apps. Hopefully, some day the LAV codec will be able to live in harmony with the MainConcept codecs just like the LAV codec will work with the Microsoft Codec. Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
