1.4. NSV Archive

The NSV Archive contains over 22,000 Episode of over 510 TV Shows.  Shows in the NSV Archive are in the .nsv format using VP3.1 and VP6.1 Codecs.  You need to use the Winamp Media Player, VLC Media Player or other .nsv capable player to watch shows in this archive.  Please see our System Requirements for correct versions of media players to use.

There are two ways to view content in the NSV Achive:

View an Entire Season:  First, select the show you want to watch.  Then, click on "Create M3U" link.  This will prompt you to either Play in Winamp (or your default) media player, or save to your computer.  If saved on your computer, you can double-click the saved .M3U file to play, or right-click the file to select Open or Open With.. 

View an individual Episode:  First, select the show you want to watch.  Second, select the Season.  Then, click on the "Generate .PLS" or "Generate .M3U" link.  This will prompt you to either Play in Winamp (or your default) media player, or save to your computer.  If saved on your computer, you can double-click the saved .M3U file to play, or right-click the file to select Open or Open With..

Please note that if your default media player for .M3U or .PLS files is not an .NSV capable Media Browser, you will have to use the Open With.. option or change how your computer opens the selected type of file.  You can do this in Windows by opening your Control Panel>Folder Options>File Types Tab.  Change the program that is associated with the desired file type (extension - eg. .m3u).

If you have problems viewing some episodes in the NSV Archive, or can only hear the audio portion, you may have to uninstall and reinstall Winamp or VLC.  You may also need to install the K-Lite Codec Pack which can be downloaded for free from http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

Buffering:  Please see the Winamp Buffer Guide for Winamp Buffer Settings.
