I renamed *.ts file to *.MP4/*.MKV - this will disable TsReader.ax and TS file are processed by Haali - it works OK.
TsReader.ax cannot play this *.ts file.

    If TsReader is disabled then no wonder its not working :). Currently .ts files require TsReader (no Haali support on MP side for .ts).

    TsReader is not disabled! (Just did fresh instal of MP + latest build).
    No luck to play this ts file: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9TIJ68KM
    I need to rename ts to MP4/MKV to disable "TsReader.ax" and make it work thrue Haali.

    Works here with TsReader without any issues. PDVD8 video codec + ffdshow audio codec. Please make sure that other .ts files are working correctly (that would rule out that the TsReader is not registerd or is from different SVN version than MP itself.)

    Its possible that MPC-HT h264 decoder is not connecting to the TsReader's video output pin.

    The MPC-HC standalone codec has never worked with the tsReader for H.264 video. Simply because this type of video gets a GUID of {8D2D71CB-243F-45E3-B2D8-5FD7967EC09B} which the codec doesn't accept as an input.

    I've asked Casimir (developer of MPC-HC) to add this GUID to the list so the file would be able to play. Today I tested a version of the coed which accepts this GUID. The file starts playing but at a very low framerate (in sw mode).
    When I activated DXVA the file starts skipping frames like crazy and ultimately stops.

    I hope that Casimir can find the problem and we can simply start using one codec (with HW accell) for all video files.
    But I think that some properties of the video file are not correct in tsReader as well. For instance, the aspect ratio is incorrectly detected, The video pin out gives me values of dwAspectRatioX 10, dwAspectRatioY 9, but the file is 1280x720 (correctly detected), 16:9 ratio !

    So, all in all I think the problem lies on both sides.

    To be continued...

    Would be cool if you could upload a sample video to check what tsreader detects or why it detects the wrong aspect ratio.

    Nevertheless all other h264 decoder filters work with TsReader afaik

    I'll try to upload a sample of the file I use for testing (need to cut it though since the file is more than 5 Gb :) tonight.

    The problem is purely between TsReader and the MPC-HC codec, and I still can't figure out why.
    When I create a graph using Haali as file splitter and MPC as codec the file plays fine.
    When I create a graph using TsReader and Cyberlink or Arcsoft as codec the file plays fine.
    Only when I create the graph using TsReader and MPC it doesn't work.

    Maybe the other codecs simply ignore the flags TsReader gives them (like the aspectratio etc) and check the file on their own, whereas the MPC codec relies on these flags ?
