Hauppauge HD-PVR & Colossus Support (3 Viewers)

[thirdoff]

@GoldenEye, ehfortin

You know that streaming you were having? Another guy has been dealing with the same problem over -->here<--. All credit to Owlsroost (Tony) for this suggestion: check your firewalls and see if there is an exception for private ports (dynamic) as well as public (well known/registered) ports. Just to add a bit of an explanation:

The port numbers are divided into three ranges: the Well Known Ports,
the Registered Ports, and the Dynamic and/or Private Ports.

The Well Known Ports are those from 0 through 1023.

DCCP Well Known ports SHOULD NOT be used without IANA registration.
The registration procedure is defined in [RFC4340], Section 19.9.

The Registered Ports are those from 1024 through 49151

DCCP Registered ports SHOULD NOT be used without IANA registration.
The registration procedure is defined in [RFC4340], Section 19.9.

The Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535

RTSP streaming uses the UDP protocol over private ports, so firewall rules need to be configured with that in mind.

it is a bug with the installer setting the app allowed under public but not private, setting allow to private solves the MP client not seeing the stream issue, and yes thanks owlroost.

mm, I am making some progress finally! I have the channels chosen and they show in my screen under TV GUIDE in MP. But when I choose CHANNEL or TV ON I get "no data available" and 'no free card available". I wonder if you might help with the next step to get past these two messages?

Thanks, Dave

Hi again Dave

I take it you mapped all the channels to the Colossus as instructed in my previous post?

One thing that I know trips up almost everyone who uses SchedulesDirect is channel mapping. SchedulesDirect somehow creates channels in TV Server configuration, but it does not link them to your "tuners" (in this case, your Colossus). You'll need to do that manually as instructed in the wiki -->here<--. It is very painless.

If so then I'm not able to figure out what is wrong from what you've said so please post logs using the watchdog. Just use option 3 to create a zip file containing all your logs and post it here.

Folks,

I was able to get MP to see both of my colossus cards but under the channel config i don't have "SerialDigital". My receivers are connected through a HDMI cable. I see all the other options. How do I get this?

Thanks

M

Madas, I believe the hdmi is an OUTPUT on the colossus card.

Hi Dave and Madas

Dave: the Colossus HDMI port is definitely an input.

madas: have you read the instructions and information in the first post - I'd *strongly* recommend you do that. HDMI support requires patches on top of 1.2.0b. Also, the input is known as "HDMI #1" in the tuning details.

mm1352000,

Yes I have already followed all the instructions.

I copied the zip from your post (367)...then I overwrite the dll with the file from post 1. So I also need the files from post 3? is this the latest now?

 

[mm1352000]

Hi again madas

You do *not* need the patch from post 3 - the full procedure is explained in the first post. It sounds like you've done everything right.

I wonder... are you able to see the "HDMI #1" option if you only use the patch from post 367 and *don't* use the TVLibrary from the first post?

When I use only port 367 then I see HDMI #1, HDMI #2 and HDMI #3 ....am I ok to run without the post 1 file?

 

[mm1352000]

When I use only port 367 then I see HDMI #1, HDMI #2 and HDMI #3

I guess that DLL wasn't compiled with the other changes.

Am I ok to run without the post 1 file?

Not with the latest drivers.

Hmmm, to be honest madas I suggest that you wait until 1.2.0rc is released on Monday. You won't have to mess around with any patches or find older drivers. It should just work. Are you able to wait until then?
