[QUOTE="td03-5, post: 680225, member: 188069"] Hi @shankly769, As I have said I have not used Windows 7 so cannot comment from first hand experience. However, try this test. I have attached a zipped 'video.m3u' file similar to the one your Dreambox is sending. Download it to a folder on your PC. Using Windows Explorer (or whatever is used on Windows 7 as the file manager), navigate to that folder so that you can see the 'video_m3u.zip' file and extract the 'video.m3u'. Now double click on file 'video.m3u', VLC should open., It will not be able to play anything but that is not important. What is important is that VLC opens and NOT Windows Media Player. If VLC does not open then check the settings again for File Association (as per my previous post) and make sure it shows VLC as the default program to open and/or play .m3u files. If it does not, then something went wrong with your attempt to change it to VLC. Try again. Do you have administrator rights etc. Let's know how you get on? Best wishes, John. [/QUOTE]
