Hi, I have some videos on my pms encoded in mpeg-2. I bought a mpeg2 licence for my raspberry and activated it in the config.txt. But if I play these mpeg2 files on my rasplex client it only plays audio. The video does not appear. Is there something missing? Should it not work with the licence now? If not: I thought my pms would transcode if the client is not able to play the content. But both does not work. All other content plays fine.

I don’t know if this works on media files but it eorks for live tv mpeg2 streams. Start the file quickly stop it and push play again. ---
