MyTV: Unable to create graph (1 Viewer)

[BobFlemming]

Hi,

TV in mediaportal is highly unstable for me. It used to function most of the time - restarting MP usually worked when at first it wouldn't start. Now it seems that I can't get it to run at all anymore. When turning on TV I get the unpleasant message that it is unable to create a graph. No decoder icons is visible in the system tray when it tries to start the TV.

One section of the tv.log file looks like this:

I should probably also tell you that TV works just fine in DVBViewer.

Update:

While browsing older threads in this forum, I stumbled across a thread describing a somewhat similar problem. The solution there seemed to change the EPG settings; to only fetch EPG for the channels you actually watch, and for your language only.

This seems to have helped me as well. I will continue testing and update you on my progress in a short while.

I have similar problem to with my FireDTV card. Will try the EPG idea.
