[QUOTE="Major_Mess, post: 352202, member: 29654"] Thank you very, very much for the reply tourettes. :) Yes MP is international and therefore is bound to be more suited to certain tried and true regions. Re Quartz.dll. Yep I understood there would be other function updates in the later version. But is there actually any new function being called from the libraries that is not in the older versions. Reason being I have always had more success with out applying the various updates and fixes, including running XP SP2 instead of SP3. I really think I am going to have to look at compiling my own version without all of the file checks, as long as MP is not dependent on new functions in the updates. At least then I would have the options of testing different versions. I have never really looked into the developer threads for a list of actual info on the various updates(Searching has never turned up anything). Is there lists of dependencies somewhere, or is it a matter of going through the code and reverse engineering? That would be beyond me tho. A list of MP installed filters etc would also be very handy. MP uninstall seems to leave filters registered - I do not have the names on hand, but have them noted. Is there a full manual MP uninstall list somewhere that we can use to confirm full removal? A list of MP forced filters/graphs(MP original and third party) may also be handy for users. I use Zoomplayer with manual graphs for all testing and media playback on my desktops. Re TSFilleSource. On my desktop I had Bear's version installed, but when installing MP1 it ripped out all support for it from windows and therefore I could no longer play TS recordings thru Directshow apps. HDTVPump was the second best, and would only refuse to play one broadcasters HD channel, but now it to has issues with other channels. Re registering seemed to work, but once I was forced to update the quartz.dll at MP startup, it was again broken and will no longer work properly. Could MP actually be the reason for this and is there some sort of config to windows to stop the MP TSfilesource version from interfering with the new version? There seems to be all sorts of Directshow problems now and not only related TS. Uninstalling MP and what updates I can has not helped TSFilesource function correctly. This is a real pain as this machine has been stable for 7 years. I have setup TV server on one of my servers and needed a client(Main HTPC is standalone install and no way I was going to risk having a problem there and get murdered by my wife) so I bit the bullet and updated to SP3 and the various updates I was forced to make during the MP1 install. I am about to commence migrating to a fresh install on new hardware(wouldn't have contemplated the install otherwise), so it is not the end of the world, but having this PC broken is still a real pain. Anyway, to the current TV issue. Codec is AC3Filter. Under RC2 and RC4 I am pretty sure I ended up with the best result using Cyberlink for TV audio though. The HTPC machine basically only has MP and the Leadtek TV app Winfast which works perfectly.
