Been doing some tests but haven’t been able to get a mpegts file playing correctly. Audio is fine but i can’t get video to work. Playing the file in xbmc or vlc works just fine. End result should be http streaming of mpegts for an eyetv plugin. Is it possible to get this to work? ```auto ***General Parameters***
