Thanks for the reply.

After going bonkers over this I had a look at some Windows Updates installed before the trouble started and I finally found one relating to a DirectX update that was the problem (and has messed up other people as well.)

After uninstalling it I can play the streams perfectly now.

Good job I haven't got Win10 where none security updates are forced on you as that may have finished me off. B Microsoft!

So all is now well and hopefully it will stay that way.

Cheers, Colin
