Hi Forum,

Last week I bought a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1250 video card. I installed the card and went into dmegs and see the OS sees the card.

[18.141236] CORE cx23885[0]: subsystem: 0070:7911, board: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1250 [card=3,autodetected]

I have installed Kaffeine to record live tv. Once the tv show is recorded I am able to play it back on my linux box as a .mpg file. However, I am unable to stream it to my Samsung TV. I have many movies that are .mpg and .avi that stream without any issues. I have come across what I believe the issue in that if I take a working .mpg file that streams over wifi and using ffmpeg I get the following.
