Instead of creating the pipe, save it to a file by replacing - | ffplay -i pipe: with filename.ts Also change -v panic with -v verbose to see the input error.

BTW I am about to give up on this, I have a rule about helping with ffmpeg that I am breaking.

[Brucek2839]

I do appreciate you helping me!!!!!!!!!! I have been trying to get this for a few years now...

[Brucek2839]

I get a lot or streaming garbage on the screen when I run the batch file.

[mvallevand]

You didn't remove the dash.

Martin

[Brucek2839]

ok, I think I finally have it...

[mvallevand]

Ok, so you need to see if you can get ffplay to play stream too. You may need to transcode to get better timestamps for NextPVR.

Good luck, hopefully you are on your way now.

Martin

[Brucek2839]

Thank you for all your help. Now how do I go about getting it into extras to see a new device? I tried it but it did nothing.

[mvallevand]

Once you get it to work with ffplay as a pipe, use those parameters the args area shown in the wiki link link I posted for you.

Martin

[Brucek2839]

Is this the link you are speaking about?
