"Tune Previous Channel?" overlay bug

FreQi · 2008-04-19, 01:23

There are a few channels that seem to be problematic when trying to tune with TVsever in MediaPortal, so sometimes I'll get a pop up message that says it was unable to tune the channel, and it asks if I want to tune the previous channel. It has a Yes and a No button, however, I cannot select either button, and the focus seems to be given to the TVGuide in the background (arroing around, even mouse clicks to to the background). The only way I can get rid of the popup is by hitting Alt+F4 to close MediaPortal.

Hi,

could you please reproduce this with rc1 and post it to that forum please. From today on, RC1 needs to be the base install for all bug reports.

I've installed RC1 and I'm no longer having the tuning problems, so the pop up never happens. Good for me, but I cannot confirm that the probem doesn't exist anymore...

Problem does still exist

, I'm having it with RC1 as are a few other people

I get it occasionally as well. It's hard to reproduce but what I think causes it is this -

1) tune to a channel that may have issues.
2) look at black screen for a few seconds so press tv guide or MCE Green button thinking that will help.
3) keep looking at black screen until time out occurs.
4) "Tune previous channel" dialog appears but the key press for home or tv guide also appear.
5) since you never clicked yes or no, the overlay is still there, but you have bypassed it by going to home or TV guide
6) unable to get rid of Y/N box, have to close MP and restart.

Hope this helps.
I'm in Hong Kong at the moment so unable to reproduce this error or submit logs.

I have same problem.

Think same bug is raised here...

Mediaportal crash if I select a scrambled TV-channel which I don't have access to.
