I have one problem with MediaPortal.

When my HTPC had resumed from S3 state, and I try to watch TV - error is occurred - "Unable to connect MPG2 pin". After restarting MediaPortal I can watch TV without problems. I have tested it with scrambled and free to air channels, with and without CAM module, in full screen and windowed mode with same results.

Now I see only one difference in TV initialization process on MP start and S3 resume: in vmr9.log vmr9:InitializeDevice() call exists on MP start and does not exists on S3 resume.

I’m a software developer and I can to compile MediaPortal and test it on my hardware. Any suggestion will be useful.

You'll find all inits and relevant parts in MediaPortal.cs (parts may be in d3dapp.cs)

Hi,

This seems to be a major issue with technotrend cards and the rubbish drivers, I get very often the unable to connect mpg pin and also the unable to creat graph error.

Now I have noticed that if I use PVR-Scheduler and set it to hibernate only I have better luck. I then can standby, wake up and view TV but only once. I will then have to restart the PC if I wish to use standby again

Technotrend have to sort this crap out I am afraid.
