Problems with SS2 in 0.2 RC2 (1 Viewer)

[archimede]

Hallo,
I am trying to use my SS2 card with MP 0.2 RC2, but I have several problems.
The first one is by configuring the board... it´s always crashing!
I copied the old xml card file from my working 0.1.3 and at least isn´t crashing anymore, but there is no autotune.
Here below is the capture log

If I start MP anyway, when in MY TV, the tv is not working and MP is crashing again. Here the capture log...

I have also tried the latest CVS (19/12), but with no luck :x
What can I do?

Hi

Just wanted to post that I have experienced the exact same behaviour.

I had installed the new RC2 on a fresh system from an Image file) with Net 2.0 and all the latest drivers...

So far I have almost given up on MP working with my SS2 which works very well with DVBviewer by the way so it is not my system...

I hope someone can fix it so I can use MP for all my media.

Cheers

I am really sad about this situation, because I have tried everything to make it working... but with no luck!
The SS2 works in RC1, even if with some problems, but at least you can watch the TV. With RC2 there is no chance!
I am using the RC2 because there are several items which are only for this version. I hope someone will fix it soon.

I got the Skystar working with RC 2 by doing the following things:

use REC2 install on top the CVS from 12-29-05 0.59 and I also replaced the tvcapture.dll with the one from the cvs 11-07-2005.

To give credit to where it belonged - I found this info on www.myshare.de the german mediaportal board. (you can find the cvs there as well)

Also please note - I switched of the update EPG through DVB in the TV conf section and I downloaded Webepg in a separate folder and redirected the EPG link to this folder

With this configuaration my system works now rather well. I hope this info will encourage you to hang on and it may help you - it would be nice to hear from you if it works in your environment as wel

Best wishes abaperl

use REC2 install on top the CVS from 12-29-05 0.59 and I also replaced the tvcapture.dll with the one from the cvs 11-07-2005.

Is it the 11th of July or the 7th of November?
Which version is the tvcapture.dll you have used? The one I have is 1.0.2193.2008.

To give credit to where it belonged - I found this info on www.myshare.de the german mediaportal board. (you can find the cvs there as well)

I have found a post about the SS2 and the two files: tvcapture.dll and Interop.DirectShowHelperLib.dll. Is it the right post? Have you got a link to the discussion?
Thank you.

 

[archimede]

Thank you abaper!
I did it... I have taken the TVCapture.dll (1.0.2137.42163) from the CVS NOV-07-05 and re-scanned for channels with the first config wizard.

It seems that the only cause of the SS2 not working is this file. Something must have changed between RC1 and RC2 that my system is not able to use anymore.

There are still some problems, like the slow channel change and the missing OSD, but at least TV showed again.

Only another questions: do you have SP2 installed?

Hello archimedes
the link to the discussion is below

https://www.team-mediaportal.de/mp-forum/topic,448.6

At least you got the TV working. You are right the chanell switching is a bit slow, but I can live with that.

Yes- I am using SP2. I also use in the moment the nero video filter and the intervideo audio filter

best wishes thomas

Original problem seems to be solved: installed SP2 and latest TVCapture.dll file.
Thanks to everyone.
