[QUOTE="niblick, post: 100165, member: 27862"] I think we've both been conned by the same guy posting half baked theories on another forum - I was convinced until recently that the MS demuxer couldn't handle h264 either. If I think about it for more than half a second though it doesn't make sense - the demuxer only really needs to know how to pull packets with the right PID from the input stream and shove them out of the correct output. The actual contents of the packets shouldn't really make a difference to it. I can now get live BBC HD to play on MP (with the TV server backend) using the MS demuxer, so it definately works with h264. I've done some digging on msdn since and found some documentation which states that the MS demuxer handles both program and transport streams in push mode but only program streams in pull mode. I'm guessing then that our problem with playing ts files is that the default DS file source filter provides a pull mode interface to the demuxer. The TSfilesource filter that you have the link to there looks like a push mode filter so it should work but I haven't had much luck yet getting MP to use specific DS filters other than the ones you can select in the config program.
