I haven't been able to play any recordings mythtv has made in VLC
since 0.21 or so. Something changed. I think mythtv started
tagging the files as TS files and VLC balks at that for some
reason. I record from and HDHR and a PVR250. The only thing that
plays them, as far as I know, is media player classic and of course
mythfrontend.<br>

<pre wrap="">Lately I've been playing my recordings in VLC rather than the frontend (basically due to bug 9223), and it has been working fine. I use mythlink.pl, find the show I want to watch, and go.
This weekend I recorded (off US broadcast TV) the NFL games, though, and VLC will not play them. MythFrontend _can_ play them so clearly the files are not corrupted, or at least not fatally so.
FWIW, I include below what VLC says about the file (and I'll note I am somewhat surprised at 720p rather than 1080i for a high-profile US broadcast). Has anyone ever encountered a recorded broadcast the VLC won't play? Is there some extension I need?
