[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1278671, member: 141969"] Other users experience this. See for example [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/tv-server-preview-window-is-blank-sounds-works.140026']this thread[/URL]. I don't know anything about the internals of "TV Server" or "TV Server Config", but my understanding is that the "Preview" window in "TV Server Config" uses a simplified interface to the tuning and decoding parts of "TV Server", as a result of which it does not work for all TV datastreams. In contrast, the MP client uses the full-function interface that supports all of the variants in TV datastreams. If the "Preview" window previously worked OK, but has recently stopped working, I would suspect that your broadcaster has changed the datastream in such a way that it can no longer be handled by the simplified interface used for the "Preview" window. Sadly, the number of active developers for MP1 has been steadily decreasing over the years, and the current team has no one who knows anything about "TV Server". So I think that it is unlikely that any solution or workaround will become available for the "Preview" screen. Sorry if this is not the answer that you were hoping for. :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
