I have a video playlist (.m3u) created by MediaPortal (option 7 - add to playlist, and then save playlist).
When I click on the playlist to play it, MediaPortal only plays the first two entries in the playlist and then returns to the video screen.
I have two different playlists and the same behaviour occurs with both playlists.
I downloaded and installed MediaPortal two days ago. This problem did not appear on the Mantis system.

Further testing reveals this: a video playlist with just .mpg files plays all the files in the playlist. My video playlist contains just .ts files. In this case, only the first two files in the playlist play.
If I change the extension to .mpg, the playlist works -- all the files play. However, it takes quite a few seconds (unacceptable delay) for a .ts (transport stream -- 720p) to start playing when it has a .mpg extension. This is NOT unique to MediaPortal. WMP plays .ts files quickly, just like MediaPortal. WMP also plays the files when the extension is changed to .mpg, but there is a significant delay (approx. 7 to 10 seconds) before the video begins playing.
