I have yousee cable, and should get at least TV2SportHD, K5HD. At the moment I do not see any HD channels in VMC, but I have also removed TV pack 2008 by a reinstall.

I will install TV Pack 2008 again (after a backup) and give it a go again.

Will revert with results.

Fantastic news to find this morning. Well done and thank you asm495 and xs4all, I knew you would crack it in the end!

mwallan:

no as the 360 does not have h264

Sorry, but have you tested this or are you just saying it?

I know the 360 doesn't play h.264 through the extender interface currently, but in another thread MS have said that the 360 extender is tied in with the OS, so I was wondering if it somehow inherits its codecs from the PC.

 

Hmm.... Just wondering how long until Chris will make an unfavourable comment about this or if Microsoft will try to pull this.

Having said that this thread has been active for a while, so fair play to them, it seems like they're turning a blind eye to this.

Absolutely superb work. I now have BBC HD (a bit jumpy) but no local (Irish) h.264 dvb-t. I remember trying thr dll from fiji before it died in TV Pack with the same result. This did not bother me at the time as fiji worked perfectly with local h.264. Anyone in Ireland out there who has tried the new dll?. They are all there in DVB-Viewer

Thanks again for all the hard work

You have to remember that the DLL is only the codec, if the channel is marked as a H264/AVC1 channel in the channel information in stream then VMC will not add it to the guide, hence you wont be able to get it. There are work arounds using DVB-Viewer that we used on the beta for those services though.

I wonder if RTM dll should be unregistered first, then replace with the beta dll and register it. I think it could cause some problems because RTM didn't have H.264 decoding.

I've been watching and waiting for MS to kill this one. After all plenty of their proprietary code has been published in the process, and Media Centre isn't open source. Their ownership of TGB is immaterial to my expectation here.

I guess as the hack has now been made, it's too late to put the lid back on the bottle.

Can you elaborate any further on this, many of us danes can´t get our HD channels to show up inthe guide.

Would be much appreciated, you mentioned dvbviewer, I also have this program, maybe you could direct me to yhis "work around"

Hey Joni,

Trying to remember, how do we do that? :)

I'm an Irish user too, so want to try and get this sorted...

Well done guy's. Can anybody confirm if it works on an extender? I have a 360.

Marc

no hd through an extender esp the 360 uintil ms release h264 support for the 360

OK Guys, here ya go. Not tried this since the Beta so not 100% sure if it will work, but worth a try.

1. Install DVBViewer and set it up ...
2. Install DVBSBridge for DVBViewer which you can get here : http://www.dvblogic.com/download/DVBSBridgeDV.zip
3. replace the dll files in >\Sources\DVBViewer and in >\plugins with the one I provided with the mail....
4. Enjoy H264 channels

I cannot take credit for all of this, as it was someone else on the beta that figured some of the h.264 channel stuff out, so say thanks to him.

The download link for the modified DLL is http://rapidshare.com/files/146577135/DVMCEBridge.dll.html

Just put the h264 solution up, but it's gone into the administrator check. So hopefully that will be up shortly.

I don't have a 360, but this dll worked fine on my DMA 2100 before it expired.
