[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 697719, member: 82144"] Hi again Melstig Too many things at once, I'm getting overwhelmed and confused :S So this is what I understand: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. You have a problem with resume from standby where the tuners appear as "unknown". TV Server has to be restarted before they work. I asked you to test something (the delayed start). Have you done that? In answer to your question about the difference between a powerscheduler "reinitialise" and a TV Server "restart": I don't think there is any difference, but I don't use power scheduler for a number of reasons. Maybe the biggest is that sleeping/hibernating can cause driver issues. Tuner cards are *especially* bad for this! If setting to not "reinitialise" on resume fixes this problem then do that. If it doesn't, then please tell me so we can try specific things *one at a time*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. You have a problem with restarting TV automatically when you go into the TV section of MediaPortal. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't... I have looked at your logs and the TV Server successfully tuned to TV3 on both test (when TV started, and when TV didn't start). The reason TV3 failed on the second attempt of the first test is that the TV Server thought TV3 was already timeshifting so it just tried to read the file. This failed, probably for similar reasons to what we have already talked about in relation to viewing a recording. When it failed, it stopped the tuner from timeshifting. The third attempt worked because timeshifting started fresh... I don't know why the second test worked and the first didn't. This could be a bug in MediaPortal, an issue with "joining" an existing stream, or an H7 descrambling issue. I think we still haven't confirmed that you can reliably record/view multiple scrambled channels at once. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. I am still waiting for the log of TV Service starting and the first H7 tune. I am trying to discover what features your tuner supports but your tuner is returning "garbage" information. We can't go any further until you get these to me. *Please* do this as soon as you can. It should only take a minute, and it is *very* important to me (like multi-channel decryption is for you). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, to summarise: 1. Please tell me if issue 1 is already fixed by not asking Powerscheduler to reinitialise TV Server after resume. 2. Please tell me if issue 1 and issue 2 also happen when you use the unmodified (original TV Server 1.1.2) TVLibrary.dll. Logs probably won't help for this. 3. Please do the testing for issue 3 and post logs. [/QUOTE]
