The TSPlayer – as add-on for DVBViewer Pro/GE – is a slim player, optimized for playback of transport stream files. It provides convenient handling of several channels that have been recorded to a single TS file. Additionally the TSPlayer is able to play MPG, MP2, AC3, AAC, MP3 and WAV files, Audio CDs and even ongoing DVBViewer recordings, thus providing timeshift capabilities. So you may read „TSPlayer“ as „Transport Stream Player“ or „Timeshift Player“, as you like.

TSPlayer Features | Installation and Requirements | Terms of Use
The outstanding TSPlayer features are:
Easy selection of different programs and audio tracks in a TS file
PiP (Picture in Picture) playback of a second video stream in a TS file.
Easy extraction of arbitrary streams out of a recorded file, and at the same time a conversion to other formats (mpg, mp2, ac3, aac). Since DVBViewer uses the TS format for timeshift files, you may use the TSPlayer to convert them to MPG.
Joining of two or more sufficiently matching files for playing them seamlessly or converting them to a single file.
Seamless playback of Audio CDs, even those containing a data track so that the audio tracks (*.cda files) are not visible in the Windows Explorer. Optionally title information can be obtained from FreedDB.org (requires internet connection).
Supports all video and audio formats that are used in the DVB sphere, including H.264, HEVC, AC3, AAC and AES3.
Rough cutting and splitting of TS, MPG and MP2/AC3/AAC files.
Multiple channel timeshift - if an ongoing TS recording contains several channels, you may watch them all timeshifted and switch between them without missing a second!
Displays teletetext and subtitles as OSD (On Screen Display).

Store the files TSPlayer.exe and PreviewW.exe in the DVBViewer installation folder. PreviewW.exe is only required for Picture in Picture playback of a second video stream in a TS file. Downloading and storing the help file TSPlayer.chm in the same folder enables opening it by pressing F1 when the TSPlayer window is active.
Please note: TSPlayer 2.4 and later require DVBViewer Filter (DVB Source) 3.8.1 or later. Please update your DVBViewer installation, if not yet done.
The TSPlayer is an independent application. It can also be used when DVBViewer is not running. Create a shortcut on your desktop or in your startmenu, if you like, by dragging the file with the right mouse button to the desired location.
Please post bug reports or feature requests in the DVBViewer forum: https://www.dvbviewer.tv/forum.
