[Patch] Tuner Issue and channel-scan crash - Windows XP (3 Viewers)

[infinite.loop]

The issues with ASTC and NA-sat support, are those with the new TV-Server or the old TV Engine 2?

Both. Tve2 is a lot worse.

If I remember right, you can't get HD with the old TV Server 2 engine, correct? What kind of issues should I be looking for.

Do you have any idea of the PsisDecd.dll version the hotfix installs?

Just download the hotix and check the fileversion.

I had no idea ATSC might not work well when I started looking into MediaPortal *what a bummer*

The hotfix is required for stability. Otherwise you face crashes. Even though it might only be required for dvb, we made the decision that it is a general requirement to have it installed. that way you will not run into issues if you use a dvb card one day.
and that is pretty common at least here in europe, where analog dies everywhere (broadcast switched to dvb about 4 years ago here).

You mentioned remaining issues. Any idea of what I should be looking for?

I do not know all the exact issues. Some users report they have no trouble at all, others can not even find channels when scaning.
Sadly we have no team member who could confirm any of the issues.

I applied this patch (winXp Sp3) because I got the error when starting tv server configuration
But now I get:
version 0.0.0.0 of psisdecd.dll has too many bugs
Did something go wrong (all messages of the runMe.bat were successful)
I can watch live tv but recording doesn't work (maybe because my epg still is empty?)

Mine says the same thing to. I believe this message only comes up after I have run Mediaportal and exited, then tried to run the TV-server Configuration.

Also, I have installed the DVB patch as recommended. (My system already has sp3 integrated)

I found the problem.
Do not move or delete the patch folder after it is applied!
He uses the files in that folder after applying the patch

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this!

Guys, I don't know what the proportion is of users with analogue cards compared to digital but maybe it's not bad to mention that this also applies when using analogue cards.
The way it is now - also in the wiki - gives the impression it's not needed with analogue cards.

Thank you Peter2. I hope I have clarified the point on all the relevant Wiki pages, including General Requirements and our Quick Setup Guide. If you find any that are not, please let me know.

 

[Peter2]

You're welcome Dadeo!
Maybe it's not bad to also modify this start post: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...channel-scan-crash-windows-xp-6344/#post43611 since it's referred to from the wiki.

 

[Dadeo]

Done. Sorry for all the confusion. I was confused myself, but infinityloop clarified that this patch became a general requirement a while ago.

 

[Peter2]

No problem!

I was confused myself since I too was under the impression that back then it was not required for my situation.
It's only when I got some errors and posting them, that Chris told me to install it and being quite sure that the information was not really as it should be, I thought it was a good idea to mention this.
