Can't get TV to come on any CVS build after 11-11-2005

I am currently using a CVS build from 11/11/05 and everything is OK. However, when I move to any build since then I can't get the TV to come on. The log file says that the TV is on and the correct channel is viewing, but the picture and sound is not there and the TV On radio button is clear. Just checking whether this is a known issue, or whether it is a bug specific to my setup

Thanks

Andy

PS It's great to see the concentration on a stable build. It really does seem to be paying dividends. Keep up the great work.

I have the same problem in all the CVS build's after 11-10-2005-23-04,
so CVS 11-10-2005 is stable on my system.
Now I have put on the today's CVS-build 16-11-2005, MyTV is not working.
After a littlebit searching and gambling I put back the TVCapature.dll from
the CVS-build 11-10-2005 and after that MYTV is working well as before.javascript:emoticon(':lol:')
So I think that there is a bug in the TVCapture.dll because my tuner is not starting with the recent dll.

Ride on,

Having problems with MYTV. sometimes it works for few seconds and then MP freezes. Tryed clean install of MP from rc1 and the lates cvs but not much luck. MP crashes quite often.
Think we just have to wait until they finish with the big changes. Also wonder wheather .net 1.1 and .net 2 really cohesist so well toghether. The dev don't seem to have such problems but hey they are not using anonym cvs either. it's a pity as 11nov cvs was quite stable. Only had real issues whe recording..normally it crashe MP.

I switched the tvcapture.dll to that of cvs-build 11-10-2005 as Bream2005 suggested. I can now view TV but it is extremely choppy ~ 1 frame/sec. It then pops up a no signal error. While the no signal error is present the video plays fine, then when the pop-up disappears it goes choppy again. This only occurs in fullscreen. Otherwise the TV works fine.

OK, I have taken the CVS build from 17/11/2005 and rolled back the TVCapture.dll to 11/11/2005 and TV now works. The only issue I have with it is that tearing is bad.

This isn't me complaining btw, I know the CVS builds are inherently unstable. I'm just trying to offer feedback to any developers who may be interested.

I have the same problem, everything seems to work, but there's simply no TV picture. Using TVCapture.dll from RC1 and from 10nov makes no difference. I tried several codecs and rendering settings, finally Media Portal crashed. Using latest build of today on Windows XP SP2. Is there anyone at all for whom it works?

bream2005 · 2005-11-21, 19:34

With the todays CVS (mediaportal-cvs-11-21-2005--14-05.rar),
I have no MyTV, also when I put back the TVCapture.dll (11-10-2005), no succes.MP is crashing!!
With the CVS off yesterday and the old TVCapture.dll my system is working!
Also when I start the WEBBrowser after a while MP crahses. :cry:

I think Software based cards are dropped now in cvs.

don't know if that is true for dvb cards but for analog I think it is.

Dropped means what? Will it come back? I hope so, otherwise most users couldn't use MediaPortal any more.
