Won't play recordings; won't play live TV

[peterh]

As previous thread.... the system has been working fine since start of year (V1.4.7). The problems have become apparent following a week away but don't know what has happened in that time. Trying to play .TS recordings just gives a black screen. Older .MPG files crash the program. The TS files play OK, though, in media player. If I try to watch live TV it plays several bursts of sound then crashes. To check the tuners I have tried Config - map channels but that crashes. The tuners will work, though in ProgDVB. I have tried a repair install which reported as successful, but still not working. It's running Windows 7 32 bit Professional. Foxconn MB with E5200 dual core processor. 2GB RAM. 3 TV cards....1 x Nova T PCI, 1 x Skystar2HD PCI and 1 x Asus ES2-750. Any ideas? Thanks

This is just a guess.
Could it be something like having "system default" set as one of the decoders or something has changed in the meantime ???

Thanks Martin,

I'd seen that mentioned in a couple of other threads so I did try selecting different decoders but it didn't seem to make a difference, but I'll try a bit more thoroughly

Success! Tried the Elecard decoder (which had installed with ProgDVB) and that restored the ability to play older MPG recordings. Downloaded Hoborg's Standalone Filters Codec pack and back in business. So, thanks again...and to Hoborg.
