Something has been changed in MediaPortal in the last few weeks (I don't know exactly when) that means that ONLY .dvr-ms files recorded by MediaPortal can be played by MediaPortal. DVR-MS files that have been created by any other application (VideoRedoPlus, MCE, etc) will not play in Mediaportal at all.

This problem has been verified by other users in this thread:-

h4. Steps to Reproduce
Here is an easy way to reproduce the problem:-

1. Using TVE2, record a TV program (use scheduled record to get a complete .dvr-ms file, manual record will only produce useless .sbe files)

2. Verify that the resulting recording can be played back in MediaPortal

3. Using VideoReDoPlus, perform a "quickstream fix" on the above recording and output a "test.dvr-ms" file.

4. This new "test.dvr-ms" file will now NOT play in MediaPortal - neither in the TV section, nor the Videos section.

5. However, this new "test.dvr-ms" file will happily play in Windows MediaPlayer 11, or any other player that handles .dvr-ms files ....

6. Prior to a few weeks back, this "test.dvr-ms" file would also happily play in MediaPortal


h4. Additional Information
A copy of my MediaPortal.log file is attached which demonstartes the steps above. The original recording was "Seven_Seabiscuit_200711022030p2517.dvr-ms" and the VideoReDo quickstream fix version was "Seabiscuit.dvr-ms".

MediaPortal will play "Seven_Seabiscuit_200711022030p2517.dvr-ms", but will not play the identical file "Seabiscuit.dvr-ms" ....
