I have the same problem as reported originally by "grubi":
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...update-t31388.html?t=31388&highlight=powerdvd

If I select
- Video codec: CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD7)
- H.264 codec: CyberLink H.264/AVC Decoder (PDVD7.x)
- Audio codec: CyberLink Audio Decoder
then TV works as expected with TsReader.

However, if I select
- Video codec: CyberLink Video/SP BD-HD Decoder (PDVD7.x)
- H.264 codec: CyberLink H.264/AVC Decoder (PDVD7.x)
- Audio codec: CyberLink Audio Decode (PDVD7.x)
then after starting LiveTV, there is no audio and no video, just a black screen.
Also, there is an TsReader exception in the logs.

Could that be investigated? I really would like to use the new PowerDVD 7.3 Build 3516 codecs.
Also, if I use the same codecs in the DVD section, then it works! So it clearly seems to be a TsReader issue.

Logs attached.

Is anybody looking into this or is it just not on the roadmap to support the latest PowerDVD codecs with TV Server and TsReader?

...there are far bigger issues with TsWriter and TsReader currently that we could start to look into issues that are specific to some codec versions. After those are solved then I'm sure that someone will have a look on the smaller issues.
