Hi,

I've found that when you go to MP : MyVideos then the list will also include files that are still being created (for example if an external recording application is still writing to that file) - which is good :).

However : if you try to play that, strange things happen: it will open video but stop at the first frame. If you press pauze 2 times, then it will actually start to play, but there is no sound.
If you press +15s or -15s the playback will abort alltogether.

Completed .TS and .MPEG files do play fine in the video player.

Interestingly enough : programs that are (still) recording with TVE3 can be played with MyVideos. (meaning: from within MyVideos I browse to the folder where TVE3 is writing the .TS file of the current recording and I tell it to play this "video file") ... I would have expected this to have the same problem; apparently that is not the case. :confused:

MyVideos and MyTV are set to the same codecs BTW.

Also : I can play these (externally) recording files that fail in MyVideos with VLC media player.

Any idea why MP can't do this, or how I could fix this ?

Thx,
Johan.
