Just spoke to someone who has the "real" HD-box from Canal Digital, and apparently they are showing the regular TV4 on HD Fotboll 1 and some kind of test-image on HD Fotboll 2. I still have nothing, and the tournament starts tomorrow! Does anybody have anything on these channels? And if so, how did you get it? :)

    Hmm... wondering if this is a codec problem? I mean: everything else seems to be working fine!

    Btw: Do you have 2 TV4 HD fotboll channels? I only see one!

    Can't see why this should be a codec problem? Unless they're airing these channels in some new kind of format. All my other HD-channels are working fine. These don't work in MediaPortal nor DVBViewer. Don't know if it's possible for Canal Digital to lock these channles to a specific hardware, e.g. their own HD-boxes?

    And yes, I have two TV4 HD Fotboll channels.

    Hmm.. wonder why it is like this? My screen is not blank, it's green with some "pixels in it". See the attached picture!

    Can it be so that the CAM needs to be these channels are locked to the Canal Digital boxes in any way? Tomorrow is coming really near now!

    Hi,
    Seems like something it's wrong with the values, so you could attach all logs from trying to view it so we can see if anything it's wrong or make a stream dump(few minutes) & upload it somewhere for testing.

    Regards

    If the blank screen is black or green could possibly depend on what codec you use. I normaly use the codec from Cyberlinks PowerDVD, but just tried CoreAVC instead, and by doing so I got a green screen a few seconds and then MP crashed. Not that it matters if it's black or green, it's definitly not what we want...

    I'm very new to this, but if someone told me exactly what log-files needs to be attached I will gladly donate them. Or if someone cares to explain how to make a stream dump I might even do that. Anything to help solve this :)

    Hi,
    You can use MPTestTool in Start menu -> programs -> Team MediaPortal folder to collect needed logs from a try to view the channel & attach them to your post.

    Hi,
    Hmmm, messy setup or do you try to use MediaPortal old engine to watch HD?

    If you have TV Server you have to clean up MediaPortal, because now it looks like 2 things try to start your tuner card & how to do that:
    0. Backup Channels & stuff in TV Server configuration -> TV Channels -> Export.
    1. uninstall TV Server/TV Plugin (say NO to delete folders & db(you need them again later))
    2. Open MediaPortal Configuration -> Television -> Capture Cards & remove all in there(TV Server use them so MP old lady should NOT)
    3. delete channels in Television Channels if there are any there(TV Server has them so old lady again doesn't need any)
    4. most fixes for HD stuff are in SVN if you haven't updated you should do that now, download latest SVN & start with MediaPortal update first & do not open configuration, butinstall TV Server /TVPlugin, which starts TV Server again.

    Regards
    Roy
