No audio or video

I recorded 1203 HBOFHD from 9:42 - 9:43 made several attempts to playback from 9:44 - 9:46 p.m. CST. I'm giving times because I assume that the logs are time stamped.

Have you got a video decoder other than 'ATI MPEG Video Decoder' to try?

If that doesn't help, I might need you to supply a small sample recording, so I can try playing it here.

Video Renderer: EVR
Audio Renderer: Default
Music Renderer: Default

MPEG2 Video: ATI MPEG Video Decoder - Only Option
H.264 Video: ATI MPEG Video Decoder - One option: Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder
HEVC Video: Disabled - No options

I changed H.264 video to the Microsoft Decoder. I was able to playback what I recorded but was not able to watch live. I tried to attach a 9mb file but it told me the file was too large.

Also, in the Video sections I am only able to watch .avi files. MP4 and MKV files do not play. I hit enter, the screen blinks, then nothing happens.

sounds like the channel is h.264 then. go to Settings->Channels, select the channel, then click Edit Digital Tuning and change the service type to h.264.

I do not have that option.

I did switch codecs to for MPEG2 and H.264 go ffdshow Video Decoder and HEVC to LAV and I can know see the non DRM HBO channels. I can also now play my Movie files for MP4 and MKV. Things are looking up.

THanks for the help everyone. Looks like I'm switching to NEXT. I have been with media portal for a few years but they cannot pick up half of the CableCard channels that NEXT can. Hopefully I can stick with NEXT for a long time.

You'd need to put the file like dropbox or onedrive or google drive, and just post the link to the file. I'll check what type of video etc, and if there is anything weird that NextPVR doesn't like.

Also, in the Video sections I am only able to watch .avi files. MP4 and MKV files do not play. I hit enter, the screen blinks, then nothing happens.

NextPVR only plays an active role in the playback of .ts files. For all other files types it just asks Windows to choose the decoders / splitters etc. I'm pretty sure you install the LAV Splitter (from https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters...taller.exe), these other file types will play fine.
