I this a known bug? When will it being solved, so that we can watch HDTV H264 channels?
I can record BBC HD stream using TV server 3 no problems. I can switch to the channel using the client and set it to record etc. but I get no picture when playing within mediaportal. I have coreavc installed and can play back the recordings from outside of mediaportal just fine using media player classic etc.
what svn are u using?

I've installed Haali Media Splitter and CoreAVC, recording HDTV programs in TS format and H264 with TVserver3 works. Playing them outside MediaPortal using Windows Media Player works OK. Playing them with MediaPortal and the preview option in setuptv from tvserver3 works NOT (sound but no video).
Is there any solution to this problem yet?
Would be nice to watch my HDTV channels.
EDIT: using SVN 14010 (both tvserver and MediaPortal)

It seems we're all facing the same problem.
The TSPlayer (StreamBufferPlayer) of MediaPortal has a decent problem with HDTV. At least with the European version which is using Mpeg4 H264. The Problem seems to be, that the TSPlayer does not take care of other MediaSplitters as the Microsoft Mpg2 Splitter. The "normal" Videoplayer of MediaPortal seems to be a little bit more flexible.
You can test this be renaming the extension of your recorded H264 ts file to something else (i.e. avi or mpg) and try to replay it with MediaPortal (via MyVideo). In my case the Haali Media Splitter is used and the file rendered via CoreAVC. Has soon as I rename it back to ts the replay get stuck (and no Haali Tray icon becomes visible).
Directly watching HDTV using CoreAVC seems to be impossible.
The funny thing is using PowerDVD (the Deluxe version with included H264 codec) MediaPortal seems to be able to playback ts files directly, but unfortunately the CPU usage is so much higher compared to CoreAVC and the picture doesn't look as good as well... so that's no real alternative.
Does anyone have a solution getting CoreAVC working with the TVPlugIn directly?
If not, maybe we should move the thread over to feature requests. There are more and more HDTV content out there and we have no decent solution to watch it right now.

hello lkuech,
frodo seems to be aware of the problem (e.g. https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/no_h_264_channels_mytv-t19209.html ) I do really hope he's working on it

Weird trick... it also works for me when I rename the TS to something else.
But then on some of those files now, the ffdshow filter is set incorrectly, and it flips the image upside down (The flip video checkbox is checked in settings / output).
Like I said in another post, I really wish MP would just rely on directshow priorities for decoding. Or it should provide ways to understand (and act upon) the way filters are used.
