"Unable to play: stream7" (1 Viewer)

[Tim Sherrill]

Installed MediaPortal 1.4 on HTPC (server & client). Installed MP 1.4 on another computer (client only). The configuration was working fine.

I added aMPdroid plugin. Installed HD HomeRun Dual and set up on server. All works fine on server.

On client, I can get EPG data (so DB is connecting) but I cannot watch live TV or recorded TV. Watching Live TV I get an error like in the subject "Unable to play: stream7" where whatever follows the : may be different (like a bunch of numbers).

Hope you can help!

Hello and welcome Tim

First, big thanks for going to the effort of filling in your system specs and posting logs - we really appreciate that!

Now, to [what I hope will be] the solution: you need to configure the TV codecs on the client.
According to your log files, your current TV codec configuration is:

<entry name="audiocodec">LAV Audio Decoder</entry>
<entry name="videocodec">Hauppauge WinTV MPEG2 Muxer</entry>
<entry name="h264videocodec">LAV Video Decoder</entry>
<entry name="audiorenderer">Default DirectSound Device</entry>
<entry name="aacaudiocodec">LAV Audio Decoder</entry>
<entry name="ddplusaudiocodec">LAV Audio Decoder</entry>

The issue is the video codec. Switch that to LAV and you should be away laughing.

...hmmm...
Checked MPEG-2 playback and Hauppauge WinTV was chosen (I used to have a Hauppauge card in this PC, but it has been removed). When I changed to LAV and restarted MP, playback works. It is slow to come on, but it started!

No need to process this further. Thanks for having a support forum and I hope the fix helps someone in the future![DOUBLEPOST=1373946552][/DOUBLEPOST]Thanks mm1352000! Our posts crossed in the ether and I really appreciate you looking into this!
