Paul, You say pvr plays .ts
Then: "The sound is fine (I combine the video, audio and subtitle files using MKVMerge), but there is no video at all." Doesn't that result in a .mkv? Have you tried: 1. rename .mkv to .mp4 - sometimes works 2. running .mkv through ffmpeg to change to .mp4 Cheers On 18 Apr 2018 at 1:24, Paul Thornett Paul Thornett <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a BeyonWiz PVR which is connected to my PC wirelessly and which > I use to play GIP downloads to my TV.
