New install troubles. (1 Viewer)

Well, I think the App installer has some way to go yet!

I set up a brand new install of XP Pro, installed all the latest M$ stuff, and made sure all the requirements were met. Installation was a breeze - everything works - except the TV section. I have a Leadtek DTV1000 T DVB-T card installed, and the bundled PVR App works fine. I can get live TV from the configuration App's Channel Preview. But can I get MP to show TV? Can I heck as like!!!
Everything I try results in the same error: "Unable to play live1-0.ts.tsbuffer/Audio codec:"
Being somewhat used to PCs (Network Manager with 15 yrs experience) I have tried most things that come to mind. Mind you, using the term 'codec' at one point and then interchanging it with 'decoder' at another doesn't help. I'm fairly sure they are the same thing...

Tried doing a search of the Forums. One significant result - in German, which I don't speak... Web translation didn't help much, I suspect a number of vernacular terms were being used!

I don't expect things to work 'out of the box' (been around far too long for that!), but I would have expected MP to at least got off the ground...

I also have tons of pre-recorded TV show (courtesy of WebScheduler - great App) which won't play - MP complains about both video and audio codecs! They all play just fine in M$ MP11.

Don't know where to go from here, unless someone has some suggestions...

Cheers, 7&Y

Uh-oh, talking to myself!

Fixed this. I changed the recording and timeshift file locations to c:\timeshift.

Everything work just fine now...

Mind boggling as to why this should fix it.

    Did you install using admin account or run as admin, the auto creation of the relevant recording\timeshifting folder not appearing did relate to a earlier release of MP on some setups, this was easily solved by using the TVServer config\recording folder, then hit the browse button for both recording and timeshifting folders and then it should have worked (they were not auto created as they should of been on installation).

    Can you let us know if you are using MP1.0.2, because this problem should not exist now.

    Installed using 1.0.1
    I'm going to do a completely fresh install in a few days time (messed up something else on the PC...)
    I've downloaded 1.0.2, so I'll be using that.
    Let you know if anything goes wrong...
