I recently re-installed both my desktop PC and GB-PVR HTPC with Windows 7 Pro.
I can't get .mp4 files to play from within GB-PVR, but they play fine in windows media player.
The files were created in Nero Digital format using Nero Recode.
The only codec I've installed beyond what comes with Windows 7 is AC3Filter needed for the audio on US broadcast HD channels. I have NOT installed Nero on either computer, Windows seems to know how to play these files without anything extra installed.
I'm trying to avoid any willy-nilly installation of decoders/filters/etc.
The logs appear to show that GB-PVR and/or Windows fails to build a complete graph when playing .mp4 files. .mpg files play back fine.
I thought the rule was that for these sorts of files GB-PVR just asks Windows to play the file, so if WMP can do it then GB-PVR should do it too?
Any guidance would be most appreciated.
