Universe+PlayOn on PC

Its might ask to remove the Haali splitter which it doesn't like, so you probably will end up with the Gabest splitter.

Here's my graph

Martin,

I just followed instructions, it took out many of my decoders including Haali, ffdshow and others... I installed the full version, didn't change my NPVR settings... and...

everything seems to work (amazingly enough)

I tried... .m4v (Apple tv format), .mpg, .avi. mkv (HD and not) and all is good. Universe works, TV works.

Thanks !

Good news and I can understand the surprise. The whole issue surrounding codec packs raises so many debates and I don't recommend any I just know what works for me.

got this working once I figured out the name of the .ax file for MPC - Mpeg Splitter (Gabest) - it's "MpegSplitter.ax"

Just getting back to this.
And after upgrading to 2.2.6, then upgrading PlayOn had the same as previous (hang on buffering) no go on the PC

From this thread I tried thew K-Lite Basic (latest release) and now the Universe/PlayOn/Hulu content works on the PC (WIn7)!!!

But... Universe/PlayOn/Hulu NOT working on NMT clients (sorry, hadn't tested if it was working before K-Lite was upgraded )
...meaning that when a show/item is selected from the Hulu memu there's a slight (2/4 secs) delay then what looks like a screen refesh - then the list of shows is back.

Any ideas on where to start??

I can't get Hulu here but Netflix.ca is partially working (something seems off at the server) abd I just tried with Vevo and they areb working on the NMT. You only sent the NPVR log though, could you zip the contents of the whole folder and I will see if I see anything.

You do have to remember to allow PlayOn through your firewall and also you would need to be using a version of mvpmcx2 that supported http streaming

Martin thanks for the reply,

I just double checked that PlayOn was allowed through the firewall - looks okay.

? might there also be a user/permissions issue ?

Universe/PlayOn was previously working just fine on my NMT's (thanks to you).

If you think it's worth it, I'll reinstall mvpmcx2 ???

All logs attached

Thanks again,

I think sub needs to look at this. It looks like NPVR is trying to read the dummy file as a mpeg file. I don't get that in my logs.

Martin

[TomH]

Martin,
Should I be posting this somewhere for Sub to find? Where would be best for that?

As a matter to better my understanding... what would be different for nPVR in trying to do this on the NMT versus on the PC (where it is working okay) ?

Thanks for your efforts,
TomH

I actually don't know what it takes to get sub's attention in the sub forums. I am most worried that NPVR thinks it is is end of stream

Because it still might be mvpmcx2 related, you should make sure you are running the current version.
