You will need to ensure that their extension is include in the following parameter in Sage.Properties

seeker/video_library_import_filename_extensions=

They should then be visible.

Whether they play though is a different matter.

Thanks for the info Lucas. I tried it, and sure enough they were there. But i couldn't play them.
Here is the error i received :

There was a playback error in playback. Details :
sage.PlaybackException: ERROR
(-4,0x80004005):There was a problem rendering the video
portion of the content for playback.

Anyone with any suggestions ?? I have hundreds of these files and would love to avoid having to convert them to another format.

cheers

DVR-MS is MPEG2 wih DRM in MS's own ASF format. According to Wikipedia, only MCE/WMP can play them.

Google for comvert DVR-MS mpeg2... there are a couple of tools that may help.

Otherwise use WMP to convert them to WMV (slow)

Did you send anything to SageTV, like I suggested twice in the other topic you started?
