Hi list Just joined and am a great fan of Winamp. Hope you guys can help. I've just bought a really cool TV USB pen drive (thumb drive to some) which allows me to get freeview TV channels on my PC with the ability to easily record programmes. The chosen recording format of the software is MPG as it is TV and radio. I would really like to listen to these files in Winamp, but when I click on the file, it loads into Winamp, but nothing plays. When I query the length and remaining time of the currently playing track, I am told that nothing is playing. I have changed the file type to include MPG extensions, but this hasn't made any difference. I've had a look at the input and output plugins, but I feel a tad out of my depth. When I tried to load one of them which mentioned MPG files, nothing played at all and I had to reinstall Winamp. If anyone can shed any light on this, I would be enormously grateful. The world of codecs and plugins and the like are still a mystery to me and I would love to learn a bit more about them. If anyone knows of any documentation that explains these mysteries in a simple to understand way, please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards ... Scott
