Re: HTPCInfo plugin for MediaPortal v1.0.7

can someone help me please !!

i can not get the network traffic (bytes send and received) to work.
it also does not display my tv card.
it says, tv card-type, disabled on 0.0.0.0

i got a dvb-c card with cam, i can watch tv and record so it's working.
i've attached a screenshot and logs files for what it's worth.

Re: HTPCInfo plugin for MediaPortal v1.0.7

Actually I'd like some better documentation too - there is very little info as to put what in which box...
Also from time to time mine decides not to show some info, try again later and It'll be OK. Not too worried 'bout it though, that's why I'm not posting logs etc...

AW: HTPCInfo plugin for MediaPortal v1.0.7

Hi, I've tried this plugin with MP 1.0.x and it worked fine (after struggling how to setup this with Speedfan...). "HTPCInfo TVServerMonitor" didn't worked.
Now I've installed MP 1.1.0.0 RC5 and tried "HTPCInfo TVServerMonitor" again, it didn't work neither. It always says "TVServer: myip - searching...". Starting it with admin rights or disabling the firewall didn't helped.

Has anybody an idea what I can do to solve this problem?

Thank you for this plugin and the server monitor,
mp-user

Re: HTPCInfo plugin for MediaPortal v1.0.7

Hi dangerzone, mp-user,
to solve your problems, please follow these steps:

• TVServer Monitor: please use the command line options: "HTPCInfo TVServerMonitor.exe <ip-address> <refreshrate>" (replace <ip-adress> with IP address or your HTPC and <refresh-rate> with a second based value)
• HTPCInfo: please create a network device in the configuration tab "Network", enable this with the appropriate checkbox, go to tab "Monitoring", set the option "Monitor TV Server" to "Network IP Address" and select your defined network device.

Normally, HTPCInfo use the first network card of your HTPC to find the TVServer. Maybe, if a system contains more than 1 network card (and IP adress), this problem can occur.

dangerzone: Regarding your traffic display problem, please give me a hint, which value is displayed if you use the property #HTPCInfo.NetworkDeviceCount.

SpudR: feel free to create a better documentation, support is welcome.

Cheers, Micropolis ;-)

did it but no changes.

i got just one network card.

@dangerzone: Regarding your traffic display problem, please give me a hint, which value is displayed if you use the property #HTPCInfo.NetworkDeviceCount.

this is weird, it says 14: i just got 1 ?


Cheers, Micropolis ;-)

Thanks so far for your help.

Re: HTPCInfo plugin for MediaPortal v1.0.7

Hi dangerzone,
after taking a look into your log files, I cannot see problems regarding your TVServer configuration.
On your second screenshot I can see, only the IPTV Source Filter is enabled for 192.168.0.200. Is this correct? To see all network devices inside the computer management, please enable the option "show hidden devices", maybe now you can find all 14 devices.

Another hint: Your mediaportal.log says "HTPC Info: Frequency Performance Counter Initialization Error.". Could you please start mediaportal with administrative privileges? What is the result?

Cheers, Micropolis ;-)

no. all 3 are enabled:

enabled priority name
yes 3 FireDTV BDA Tuner DVBC
yes 2 MediaPortal IPTV Source Filter
yes 1 RadioWebStream Card (Builtin)

strange that the RadioWebStream Card and the FireDTV BDA Tuner are listed as unknown and disabled ?


To see all network devices inside the computer management, please enable the option "show hidden devices", maybe now you can find all 14 devices.

Yes you are right, 14 cards and the most are wan miniport things.
teredo tunneling pseudo-interface ?
microsoft ISATAP adapter
microsoft ISATAP adapter #2

When i disable the microsoft ISATAP adapters the network traffic starts counting
I do not now if i need them but i will find out if something goes wrong.

Another hint: Your mediaportal.log says "HTPC Info: Frequency Performance Counter Initialization Error.". Could you please start mediaportal with administrative privileges? What is the result?

i did a rightclick on mediaportal and start with administrative privileges, but no difference.
Frequency Performance Counter Initialization Error is stil in the log file.

Cheers, Micropolis ;-)

1 down, 1 to go

Update:

disable microsoft ISATAP adapters is a no go.
when i reboot there's another one.

so microsoft ISATAP
microsoft ISATAP #2
microsoft ISATAP #3

and so on, Any workaround for this ?

Re: HTPCInfo plugin for MediaPortal v1.0.7

Hi dangerzone,
really, strange situation. In my opinion there is no workaround to disable the ISATAP drivers, it is a operating system component to support the Intrasite Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol.
My last idea to solve the network device problem (and also the related TVServer issue) is to use IP address 127.0.0.1 in the configuration. This IP address points to your local machine.
If this won't work, it seems I must build up a test machine with Win7 x64.
