Just bought this yesterday to replace my MediaMVP which could not play HD files. I used NextPVR to record TV shows, and was hoping this new unit would be a good replacement.
I am connected via Ethernet to my PC and able to see my video files just fine, I am connected to the TV via HDMI (also tried the components, but same results. Regular mpg files work great, with no issues. My issue is with TS files. I click on the file, see the file name and timeline, but after a few seconds the message pops up saying this format is not supported and to check the manual for supported formats. From what I see, it should be supported, but maybe there is something else.
I have unplugged, hit the reset button and set to original factory settings, but same results.
I need to know why it isn’t working, what it will take to get it work (for free or very cheap), or I may have to try another option. I like it so far, just bummed it isn’t playing the videos I will be recording in this format.
Here is an example of one I recorded yesterday for my son. I have included the MediaInfo on it.
Let me know what other information is needed. I appreciate any help you can provide.
