[QUOTE="ianc, post: 548387, member: 63303"] Okay - by messing around with codecs via graphstudio.exe ( I think disabling the Avermedia H.264 codec was the fix) I've managed to get the channels displaying on the TVServer PC albeit a bit jumpy. They still wont work on the other MP boxes and I'm guessing it's a directX graph problem. However I've been stumped in my diagnosis because I can't get graphstudio (GS) to connect to a remote graph. Some scenarios: 1) TVServer with preview window working - I can see a remote graph listed in GS but doesn't connect 2) Same for MediaPortal 3) Terratec Home Cinema - No remote graph listed in GS. (interested because this is giving a smooth render of the channels) Questions 1) Should GS be able to connect and display graphs like it does when it's rendering files? (what am I doing wrong) 2) Should this H.264 Standard Defn stream require real cpu/gpu horsepower to render? I've attached two "TS" files (Max Steel was produced by TVServer and Super Garden by Terratec Home Cinema). I've played around with these files results are: 1) They are both playable on my TVServer machine in GS - no surprise 2) Neither are playable on client MP machine when running XP even though the Cyberlink H.264 codec is installed. Interestingly they both play on the "client MP machine" when its rebooted onto a completely vanilla Windows 7 installation (in Windows media player). W7 reports that the files are MGEG2!!!. [/QUOTE]
