Issue: After upgrading (from 0.2.0.4) to 0.2.1.0, screen is all black. All setings has been kept - and all was working swell before upgrade.

Any ideas of any changes that could have caused this?

Thankful for any tips and ideas!

Hope you have the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml file from his 0.2.0.4 steup. Use it (replace the one currently there) and I am pretty sure it will work. At least it did for me! I had a VERY similar problem.

I remember... I answered in your thread

Is this .xml-file overwritten iby the 0.2.1.0? I don't belive he did a backup.

 

[mzemina]

If he didn't backup then I can supply mine, it has all the cards in it. Just PM me with your email and I'll send it to you.

Another friend got his 150 working with the new version (0.2.1.0) using S-video. Gonna try replacing the .xml from that machine.

Ok... gonna try a workaround:
Another friend (with same PVR) has no problems with S-video and 0.2.1.0.

Which files should I copy from the working-setup to the non-working?

 

[mzemina]

Considering you don't care about the skin and other plugins, I believe you should copy the following files (in the associated folder)

CaptureCardDefinitions.xml (C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal)
MediaPortal.xml (C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal)
TVDatabaseV21.db3 (C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\database)

Someone else point me wrong if I am.

 

[Spragleknas]

Thank you... I'll give it atry.

 

[Spragleknas]

Ok.... given him the files. Hope it works.

He has tried a clean install (0.2.1.0) and ALL settings for s-video. Very strange that he can't get ridd of the balck screen (w/o sound), since he has the most popular modell of PVRs; the Hauppauge PVR-150 (MCE).

Any other advice would be appritiated...

Update: After lots of fiddeling, we reinstalled XP.. now all is ok (.
The black screen was also present when using antenna, and was caused by updating to 0.2.1.0.
