I think i have got the wrong version. This is not for Release 1.0? Which version shuold i use?

 

[morpheus_xx]

It is for release 1.0 (and following svn builds) ! please also refer to the mp wiki Home - MediaPortal Manual Documentation to clarify about the structure of MP and TvServer

Hi Morpheus,

I downloaded mediaportal-svn-01-23-2009--22-00.rar and reinstalled the TV server part and did the configuration. Stopped the tvservice. Next I supplied all the binary files that are in your patch zips in the order of the zip number, did a reg of TsWriter.ax. Started the tvservice again. Started the TV sever configuration again and started mediaportel. I hope this is the way to do this.

Now the EPG does not work, and all the channels don't work as well including the unencrypted channels. I thope i'm doing something wrong here. I´v attached my TsWriter.log. Looks like something is wrong with the card detection...

your logs look like older versions of the patch and a wrong knc bda api dll (log says missing function names).

I updated my post on page 11 with further files. no new code but (maybe) missing files. give them a try...

Hi,

I did a check with GlobeTV and is wasn´t working anymore... I reversed the flow of my fans yesterday because my En9600GT Silent is giving me headaches with the heat it produces. I checked and the CI cable wasn´t fully attached. So all my efforts would have been pointless today, except this doesn´t explain the missing dll functions of course. I will try with the extra files you supplied.



By the way do I need to install te latest MediaPortal as well. Because the weekly i downloaded doesn´t seem to be working. Now I just copy the dll file TvLibrary.Interfaces.dll to it you supplied.

What version of the KNC One driver are you using. I have version 1.9.414.1.

Hi,

Well did a run again. The logs seem better, but still no image and I don't get the scrambled message. What I notice is the first time i go into the TV Server configuration it is configured with no CAM enabled. I than enable it and start scanning for channels. Logs seem to say it can now find the card. Any ideas?

I included the logs for some debugging...

O, and in MediaPortal/log/error.log i have these messages, I think i need a new version of a working MediaPortal:

2009-02-01 21:09:12.750000 [ERROR][MPMain]: OnMessage exceptionystem.MissingMethodException: Methode niet gevonden: Void MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIGraphicsContext.set_RenderBlackImage(Boolean).

Hi,

I tried the weekly build again together with your patched files and now it just works!!! Don´t know what changed ... Previously I just could not start the installation, wierdness.

This is just great!!! Many many thanx!

For the first tests

Well at first sight some minor issues when zapping, sound doesn´t always start the first time, but choosing the channel again does the thing.
I also noticed that the image quality is just a little bit less than in Global TV, but I think this has to do with settings of codecs.
Epg doesn´t work maybe somthing I did though.

Hi,

Did some more watching. It's great to see things working, the list of things that don't work completely is just for helping things get stable. I have to say did play a bit with the codes used for watching, seem to have some influence on how good things work.

1. EPG
   EPG isn't working anymore. Maybe that one does need the full record you were talking about?
2. HD
   HD channels actually crash MediaPortal, it doesn't react any more. I don't know how long i can test this because i have 5 days to watch all channels and then they give me the basic package, which does not include HD channels.
3. Sound
   After some channel switching (can't find an exact case which you could reproduce) the sound stops, looks like timing.
4. Quickness
   Channel switching takes some time compared to GlobeTv, also looks like timeing.
5. First channel
   The first channel choosen doesn't start, if i switch over to te next channel, the first one starts. After a couple of seconds it switches to the second channel. Switching back to the first does the trick though.

Well, I have no idea what could solve the other problems you mentioned.

Please keep this thread on the KNC CI topic, so I suggest you start a new thread with your issues...

The CI handling for KNC1 is doing some progress

I started the work on CI menu support (starting with KNC1, probably followed by Technotrend).
