IPTV patch for MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 (1 Viewer)

[24RUS]

configuration.log:
...

Elecard plug-in is version 3.3.60526, PowerDVD is 7.3, mpgmux.ax is ver. 5.0.1307

Thanks

Updated Elecard to latest version 3.5.71225 and still the same error...

Update: Stream plays also fine in WMP now, but on add card in the MP config the same two errors...

The problem is here (SinkGraphEx.cs):
dsFilter.DSFilter = GetFilter(dsFilter.FriendlyName);
if (dsFilter.DSFilter == null)
{
dsFilter.DSFilter = Marshal.BindToMoniker(dsFilter.MonikerDisplayName) as IBaseFilter;
}

Function "GetFilter" returns null because it cannot find in the system a filter "FriendlyName".
Open GraphEdit and check all the filters: "Elecard NWSource-Plus", "MainConcept MPEG Push Demultiplexer", "CyberLink MPEG Muxer" are present in your system. In some versions name can differ so check carefully letter by letter. If your systems lacks a filter - install it. If names differ - correct name in CaptureCardDefinitions.xml.

I don't know if you saw my previous post, I have some different problem now, some streams play like 1 FPS...

Try all the recomendations I suggested before about performance (first of all, switch off the timeshifting).

So I am at the end of my trying I just cannot make this to work...
I have folowed and tried all of your recomendations, it must be some strange decoder problem for me, because my CPU load on the stream that plays like 1 FPS is betwen 8-12%. I have timeshifting off, wmr9 off, tryed PowerDVD decoder with hardware acceleration (I have Nvidia Geforce 8500GT, a Core 2 duo proc and 1GB RAM). It seems that only the stream with the lower bitrate works smoothly, despite playing all channels well in Graphedit and WMP...
When I change to channel with higher bitrate in MP, sometimes freezes my PC, only hard reset help then...

Thanks anyway...

PS: Here is my graph when playing in MP:

Hi,
& in Vista you find it in: "%ProgramData%\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\" (copy & past into "run")

It seems to be hardware problem. Most likely memory, videocard or chipset. MP actively uses a way more memory then usual program, written on unmanaged C language (like GraphEdit). So try another PC , if it helps, try to change memory, videocard, power supply unit, etc.

I am almost 100% sure it isnt hardware problem. I can smoothly run HD video on my PC, for me is just a decoder problem (I assume Cyberlink mpeg muxer) like in case of user airj described on page 4. Unfortunately the version of his mpeg muxer file doesn't work for me either, then I receive the errors adding card in MP config "unable to create graph for this device!!" (2 times in a roll)...

Change in MediaPortal the corresponding audio and video codec from Cyberlink to something else. For example Nvidia Purevideo. If I used Cyberlink codecs it didn't work for me either.
