I made a symlink to my /video from my web and did the usual right click to download. IE changed the file name to mpeg. I just let it go, thinking I would change it back later. After the file downloaded I just double clicked on it out of curiosity.

It's easy enough to set up Opera to automatically open mplayer with the URL instead of downloading then opening with the file so a single click actually works perfectly in there. Doesn't seem to be an obvious way to do this with FF though. Cheers, Michael ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Hi, Michael Anthon wrote: What do people suggest for playing an MPEG2 nuv file under windows. The file is recorded in TS mode from a DVB card. I find that I can play these using Nero Showtime but not with WMP or VLC. This is fine for my desktop but my wife wants to watch some stuff on her (work) laptop that has WMP only. I have been trying to use VLC. It works fine for some channels in Finland, but some are missing sound (problematic channels are those that are using DVB subtitling, but I don't know if it is related to this at all). I have both Freevo and mythtv installed. If I record with Freevo, VLC works OK for all channels (even dvb subtitles work !). So there must still be something wrong in mythtv TS recording mode. If you don't need dbv subtitles you could try mplayer on windows. It is not so picky about mpeg correctless as VLC.

[mythtv-users] Playing MPEG2 nuv files under windows
What do people suggest for playing an MPEG2 nuv file under windows. The file is recorded in TS mode from a DVB card. I find that I can play these using Nero Showtime but not with WMP or VLC. This is fine for my desktop but my wife wants to watch some stuff on her (work) laptop that has WMP only. I definitely can't install Showtime on there (because it refuses to install unless the machine contains a suitable CD/DVD burner since it was bundled with my burner). The odd thing is that I was able to dump a video stream using the following... dvbstream -qam 64 -cr 3_4 -gi 16 -bw 7 -tm 8 -f 191625 -ps -o 513 660 > test.mpg This stream was playable in WMP and VLC but not in Showtime! This video stuff is all rather confusing. I have also tried to transcode to mpeg4. This is playable then in WMP but I don't really wish to transcode since the backend machine is only a celeron 466, the transcode speed is somewhat abysmal. Any suggestions on how to proceed greatly appreciated. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
