I think everyone is waiting until someone to give this a go to see if it is really as good as it sounds!  If this works then it will answer a lot of people's problems.  Just goes to show that there is demand out there for this and it is a shame MS has not been able to produce results on a more rapid timescale.

 

Hi,

I'm ready to test your product soon with DVBViewer and DVBSBridge for my DVB-S2 channels mapped as DVB-T here in Spain, but, just a question... You are talking about Moonplayer and the codec... Is Moonplayer a player that works inside MCE?

Regards

Moonplayer is a standalone viewer, but he unlock the codec H264 for MCE

 

we are waiting some result now from around country. regarding MS they will never support and help H264 and Bluray.BUT in CN all is possible. here alot people have all ready this patch in Hongkong. for H264 and Bluray. but no one want take the risk, but we will take it and show to every one all is possible.We know a new standart has been developed in MS headquater CN. and Microsoft had sign with Sony.Just for the story all is Possible in C h i n a . all iPhone are produce in Foxcom CN , Like Extender Linkys too. and here you can found in secret the new Extender from Sony. :) Just for INFO

Vista TV Media Center:

It s a player and a codec 2 in one. try and u will see

I'll consider trying it if you can answer the simple question if I can use it to view h264 broadcasts inside VMC (the media center) without using the player?

Yes its working without use the moonplayer. under MCE but u need to install moonplayer to able the pacth  unlock H264 under vista.

DavidinCT:

I'd like to hear from anyone who has installed it. Any perfomance issues or Restricted content issues with it ? Is it easy to roll back ?

Maybe this is a step forward to getting the HD-PVR working in Media Center....

 

Good point!

I’m in the USA. If I were to install this would I at least be able to play the H.264 files created by the Hauppauge HD PVR within Vista Media Center?

we never try it . we are just testing in LIVE TV and HD DVB-T its working, we didn t try in USA so far but u can try it, and if its work its good, or else we need to change the frequency able to receive HD DVB T. again we try in France, Germany, HK, Taiwan with success

just installed the SW package, but HD is not working - but on the other hand you have already stated that in DK it will not work until the new frequencies for the few HD channels has been discovered.

while scanning via the moonplayer I founde the following for HD frequencies:

K5 HD 474000
NGC HD 690000
TV2Sp HD 690000
Disc HD 690000

Hope this helps.

Hi Jesper Thank u very much...

now we can change the frequency. we will rebuild the Soft and codec for DK, tomorrow iwill send thw new link for DK HD

Perhaps you could work something out if you had sample “HD PVR” hardware to test with. If you contact Hauppauge they may be willing to send you sample hardware for development. I can assure you that if you could get this working to some degree in Vista Media Center that you will make sales here in the USA too.

For now though if you had a sample output H.264 file from a Hauppauge HD PVR perhaps you can test its functionality with your software? There are plenty of sample files floating around out there.

Hi We know very well Hauppauge,talk with them direct with ingeniors, and its why we have been developed a new TV Card. who is install in our VISTA TV MEDIA CENTER, we are thinking to release this car to the public soon, with out buy our TV. regading testing we have here all equipments to test MPEG4 H264, but we need a real test, as you see on the reply from one user in DK now he can see HD scan in our player but we need to change the Frequency to able see it .

if u can test in USA we can change frequency to. it will be helpfull for everyone.

we just need few days to make work this.

If you think you can get the “Hauppauge HD PVR” quasi functional here in the USA with your codec / software package / VMC software player plug-in, then I’m sure there would be no shortage of Hauppauge HD PVR hardware owners willing to test and help.

However, since the Hauppauge HD PVR isn’t a tuner there should be no frequency issues. Channel resolution is done by way of an IR Blaster. The signal is typically provided by a cable set top box or satellite set top box.

Hi,

Excellent - I will await the new build and revert after testing with the result.

Looking forward to hear from you.

I bit the bullet and installed this.  What appears to happen is:

• New "MoonPlayer" application visible
• New video codec available
• No indication of anything new in Media Center

Issues that I have in the UK are:

• My twin DVB-S tuners are not detected (even though the twin DVB-T tuners on the same card are).  The tuners are visible in DVBViewer however.
• When trying to detect DVB-T channels, none are detected.

So overall this has made zero difference to my Media Center experience so far.  Maybe it will work better for people with HD on DVB-T in other countries so that you can at least so if the codec support is there in Media Center.
