First I want to say thank you to this forum . Thanks to this I kept my old fortius running .
But I tried 3 times now no install it on a "new "pc and it works and when i install official tacx rlv "s it works too but after installing video's of real-life -video.nl
the tacx videos stop showing the video . including the demo's .
Is it me doing something wrong ? (most likely , me being not too good with computers)

Which software are you using for your old Fortius trainer (the early Fortius software or the later Tacx Trainer Software)?

I use the tts4 program downloaded from this site . Already had it officially the old PC died but could transfer the tacx to another one .
But I tried it a few times now and the tacx rlv don't want to coexcist with other rlv .
At least what happens is as long as I install only tacx rlv no problems but as soon as I start installing other rlv the tacx rlv stop showing video .
Pretty sure it's something stupid my side . But in these times the old tacx is a saviour for me and get used 5 times a week .

To be honest, I never had this kind of problem. Using third-party videos with a working installation of TTS4 should be very straightforward. I assume you are using the last available version of TTS4 (4.23 plus the 4.23.1 patch)

I found the best way to install third-party videos was doing a manual install by copying the *.tts control file and the video file to the correct folders rather than using an automatic installer provided by the third-party seller. There should be instructions with the video for how to do a manual install.

Sometimes codec packs installed by third-party problems cause problems as well in TTS.

Finally, have you tried to switching to Video Player 1 in TTS settings. Sometimes this helps.

You could try some free third-party videos to see if they do not cause problems. You can find some on this website:
