Hi, I am new to Media Center and have for some time been looking for software that will stream my large library of TV programmes (.ts format) to my TV (Panasonic TXL37E30B). I seem to be having mixed success with MC - although as far as I can recall all files were produced from the same DVB recorder, they seem to have slightly different specs - particularly the frame size. Anyway, some files are playing perfectly, whilst others refuse to play on the TV with the error message 'Cannot read file'.
Enclose MediaInfo data for two samples - 0028 plays OK, 0010 does not play on TV, but is OK within MC.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
