First, I apologize (1) if this is in the wrong section and (2) that I am not at home and I am unable to include logs.
My problem: I have been running ver 1.1.2 which has been working flawlessly for several months now. I initially had a small issue in that I was unable to watch channels that were scanned collectively from both 22khz "on" and "off" position...there was a bug in that version that allowed watching of channels in EITHER position but not both. This issue was patched using a fix graciously provided by mm1352000 . Saturday, I decided to upgrade to 1.2beta and have had a couple of problems:
(a) After initally trying to upgrade directly to 1.2beta, I was able to sucessfully do so; however, the TV server appeared to NOT upgrade properly. The version did change from 1.1.5 to 1.1.7 as if it did upgrade; unfortunately, I could not launch the TV server from within the mediaportal GUI...it would only "click" but it wouldn't launch the TVserver. I assumed this was a bug due to using the patch that mm1352000 provided to deal with the 22khz thingy, but I may be wrong. I was able to launch the TVserver configuration GUI and even tune to the previously scanned TV channels while in the config menu, but just could not launch the TVserver from within mediaportal. I tried to 'reinstall" a few times---each reinstall attempt kept indicating that the TVserver had to be updated, but it never updated. This was an issue that I was only able to resolve only after I did a complete uninstall and "fresh" install of Mediaportal 1.2b---which now succesfully launches the TVserver, but I have lost all channels and settings since I am back to scratch .
(b) With the fresh install and now starting all over with a new scan, I tried to scan the same exact way in 1.2beta that was very succesful in 1.1.2. My setting for my dishpro DPP44 switch was as follows:
I first change these settings to eliminate a lit of "unknown channels" issues: (Note---this pic was from a 1.1.2-based guide I wrote)
I then tried to duplicate these settings and started a new scan: (Note---this pic was from a 1.1.2-based guide I wrote)
I noticed that (a) the DVB-S scan took a lot longer in 1.2b than I remembered from 1.1.2. Also, (b) there were several instances where there was an extended time where there was maximum signal and quality, but no channels were found after scanning "paused" there for over a minute or so ...in the past (1.1.2), there would be several channels found during those "pauses". After scanning one satellite (119W) using custom DP-specific frequency transponder list I found 180+ radio stations but only 6 TV stations. The 2 TV stations found were information channels that are NOT encrypted. The radio channels ARE encrypted but were perfectly identified in the scan. I could provide a log after I get home from work, but that will be in a few hours from now. In the past using the identical transponder list and similar LNB settings in MP1.1.2, I often got about 380 TV channels (encrypted and unencrypted), and about the same number (180+) of radio channels.
Any Ideas?
