VLC doesn't play recordings from DVBViewer because of unrecognized *.txt-file (EPG informations)
VLC can't play recordings from DVBViewer (e.g. *.ts files) because DVBViewer creates *.txt files having the same name as the video file and containing EPG information, timestamps, etc.
VLC handles the file as a subtitle file by mistake, therefore fails opening it, and doesn't play the video at all.
A sample of the txt-files createt by DVB-Viewer is attached
