When I run TvServer config, I cannot preview a channel. I only hear the sound of that channel. How is that possible? I cannot change the codecs in the TvServer config that are being used, or can I?

Doesn't anybody have a clue about how to solve this? Because this way I cannot (re)tune my channels...

AW: Preview windows show no video in TvServer config

This has often to do with installed SAF. I have the same problem, deinstalled SAF and the preview worked. Installed SAF again, and preview does not work
So this can also be due to wrong codecs or wrong merits of codecs.

That's too bad. Because otherwise SAF works correctly. But I think something is wrong with TvService then, because SAF works correctly in Mediaportal. Only problem is the preview. Maybe this is a bug?

That must have indeed something todo with the merits because the preview in SetupTv just inserts TsReader in the graph and then lets DirectShow complete the graph with whatever filter DS thinks might be usefull.
This is where the problems occure.

MP explicitely inserts the configured filters into the graph where as SetupTv completely relies on DirectShow.

Didn't know that. So the merits of SAF are not correct? How can I check what's going wrong? Maybe with Graphstudio?
