No one can suggest anything? Maybe I shoud try a SVN, or maybe something simple?

Sorry for not reading logs, but do you use a STB connected to s-video (or ew.)?
The reason I'm asking is that a freind of mine has this issue when upgrading 0.2.0.4 to 0.2.1.0 (no setup was changed).

His system (only relevant specs listed):
PVR-150MCE
6200
s479/celly 380/1GB

... so different setup - same issue?

 

[mzemina]

I have no STB. I am only getting video signal from OTA antenna connected to the main TV Tuner card (Angel II, even though I have ATI all-in-wonder card I have no video coming into it and don't use it for TV. I only have computer monitor for displaying, no television connected to this computer at the present time.

Thanks for the reply!

I can't use the 2.1.0 release either. I can change channels twice then it gives me a "no tuner..." message. I use 2.0.0 and an October 20 SVN.

Hey mzemina,
Really just wanted to say thnxs for the 'walkthru' on the 'zap2it' the other day.

My zap2it.com account has already been setup perviously! I have choosen the channels I watch on the website, my username, password, and lineup are setup on the website (labs.zap2it.com) already.

I allowed the configuration to scan the channels through my tuner and finished the setup. Then I got the 0.2.1 version of zap2it plugin and installed the dll into the C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Plugins\Process directory (on my computer).

I then started up the configuration.exe that is located in the MediaPortal directory. I wait for the window to appear then left-click on the word "Plugins" on the left side, I then scroll on the right side, down to the bottom and RIGHT-click on it, then left click on the menu item "disabled" that appears. Then, I RIGHT-click again on the zap2it plugin and then left-click on the menu item "configuration" that appears.

OK - Now another small window appears. The tab "Configuratoin" you will enter your labs.zap2it.com username & password there.

I then go the "Advanced Options" tab and de-select the box for the satellite cable (I am using OTA antenna), I also click on Force guide update on next MediaPortal startup.

I then click on OK at the bottom.

Then I click on OK at the bottom of the Setup (configuration.exe) window.

I then start MediaPortal.

When I go into the TV then the TV Guide it takes a little bit to get the lineup downloaded and formated for the system but it will do it all in front of your eyes.

Hopefully this will work for you now.

Went beyond ....Worked perfect and now just need some 'personal sets..' I think that to assist others to set it up that should be a 'stickey!' So..........

!*!*I hereby nominate mzenima's 'zap2it' steps to be a 'sticky.'!*!* how about it?
P.S. Sorry your havin' issues w\the new ver. My thoughts: (not to provocative)
1. Since theirs no vid, maybe the 'angel vid drives'....update?
2. Dx 9.c?
3. unusual issue w the latest MP and decoders for angel?
4. see what happens usin' the ATI?


Thnx again,
apollos

Thanks for the vote of regarding the sticky. Actually I should probably write it up for the wiki for that plugin.

OK - Back on subject.

Answers:
1) I would have thought so also - but this was working with version 0.2.0, do I really need to update (I'll have to check for new drivers first) drivers. Note that during the initial setup the scan through channels worked flawlessly, it was able to see signal and quality (both looked like 100%) for each of my OTA signals.
2) Am running Dx9.c
3) Maybe - I'll take any suggestions as to possible direction to look into here.
4) Nah - That is S/W based, too many problems here.

Really!? Wow. Maybe a SVN to this release could be a test to try out.

 

[JuanHino]

I am also having this problem. I'm going to try out 2.0.0

 

[JuanHino]

tried out 2.0 and the latest snapshot as well as the one from oct 20... Same problem on everything I try.
