Hi,
I'm using XBMC on Leopard but I can't play Dreambox .TS files. Playing them with VLC, MPlayer or EyeTV works fine. What I'm doing wrong? Any hints?
Thanks.
PS
The QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component is already installed.

I've created a AdvancedSettings.xml and added a .ts entry. I've also run your haha.py but it made no difference because .TS is already in the current extensions list for videos.
I think XBMC can't play this transport stream files because QuickTime Player can't open them. Is it possible to configure XBMC to view those files using VLC or MPlayer engine instead of QuickTime Player?

XBMC doesn't rely on quicktime to open anything for now. I would suggest making a >50MB sample file and creating a bug ticket on our trac system and attaching the sample so we can at least have it on our radar.

Same problem in linux XBMC.. can not play .ts files at all. remote or local does not matter. mplayer/vlc plays them nice.

I have the same problem in OSXBMC with .ts files recorded on my back-end media server with DVB-T receiver card. Symptom is it's buffering the file for a long time (several minutes) then just end buffering and returns to the file listing within XBMC without. I've been using VLC and XBMC on Xbox together with this back-end server for about 3 years and they've never had any problems playing these files.
