Synopsis:

Every time I turn MyTV off, I get a strange error message. A couple of weeks ago, some changes have been made regarding this message. For me, it is still unsolved after that bugfixes.

Hi,

i have found a bug in the multituner handling of MP. Especially concerning hauppauge PVR cards. Perhaps this fix can help you.

FIX. This ZIP contains four files. It may be enough to just test the TVCapture.dll. Give it a try please.

Hi Flip,

Thanks for your help... but your files don't solve my problem.

I get the same issue with any of the later CVS builds (last two weeks or less).

MyTV is just showing a black screen with the TV button "turned on". When I toggle it to off I get the same message. When I try to turn it on again the dot that represents "on" does not stay on and there is no TV.

I have had some success with some of the recent CVS by copying the older tvcapture.dll over the top of the new one. TV is a little bit choppy this way, but at least it's watchable.

I'm going to be away from home for the next two days so I will test your patch when I return. I have two Compro T-300 DTV cards.

For me this is an problem with the interop.tunerlib.dll from 21.11.2005, but i found no offical statement to this problem. I copied back an older version of this dll an tv works again.

Hi,

people, please keep in mind, that CVS releases are always untested work in progress!

Bugs concerning CVS versions are best placed in the Media Portal Testteam Forums.

But also in the Testforum nobody is talking about this Problem.
Or i didn't found it ;-)

I'd missed the news about the CVS-bug forum. I'll place new bug reports there from now on.

Don't see this report as a complaint about the CVS versions. I'm really happy with them! I just hope all bugs are reported so they can be solved in the future....

Thanks to everyone who's working really hard on this!
