[QUOTE="johandm_be, post: 144212, member: 49464"] Hello, I have been setting up a dedicated machine for TVEngine 3. This is a brand new PC that I've assembled myself, and since I was planning on using MediaPortal, I did not get XP MCE, instead I bought XP SP2. After quite a few days of struggling, I am starting to wonder if that was a mistake... My setup is a quad LNB dish, and I am using a 4x1 diseqc switch. With a topfield settop box this is working perfect and I am seeing all 4 satellites loud and clear. The PC is brand new, Intel Dual Core 2 E6600, 2GB RAM, an Intel P965 mainboard (MSI P965 Platinum) Video = MSI NX7300GS, Windows XP SP2, and it went through the regular windows updates. There's nothing else running on on this machine. Initially, I was using a Technotrend S2-3200 card, with the 4.4.10.18 BDA drivers. What I saw was: I could scan the 1st LNB (Hotbird 13E) OK, but somewhere in the 2nd LNB (Astra 19.2E) it would consistently fail. (access violation in psisdecd.dll) I saw the same problem in the DVBDream software, so I assumed it was an OS problem. So I found this: [url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896626[/url] Which replaced my psisdecd.dll by a newer one : 6.05.2600.2640 And sure enough that helped... to some point: Now both apps (MediaPortal and DVBDream) were able to scan LNB1 (Hotbird 13E), LNB2 (Astra 19.2E) and LNB3 (Astra 23.5E) successfully, but both still failed on the 4th LNB (28.2 and 28.5 astra & eurobird). In fact just tuning to a channel on that sat in DVBDream sometimes causes the application to crash. I searched more and found somebody else was experiencing the same problem (different viewing software) in XP SP2: [url]http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=2641&page=1&pp=10[/url] and they "fixed" it by replacing the XP SP2 mpeg2data.ax & PsisDecd.dll files form the ones that come with MCE's... = PsisDecd.dll 6.5.2700.2230 = mpeg2data.ax 6.5.2700.2230 So I tried that, and sure enough I can now scan my 4 LNBs reliably, in both programs. I also got rid of the crashes when watching certain channels in LNB4. All that works, and in theory both MediaPortal and DVBDream (I use the latter as a reference when things go wrong) seemed happy. However, I still find that after a while, when I open MediaPortal I get no audio/video. (either FTA or scrambled channels) If I then restart the TVservice, ususally that fixes it... for a while. I assume the reason it is broken again later is because the EPG grabber has been working with the DB card in the background. Sometimes I need to restart the whole PC to get the audio/video again. First I thought maybe I just had an unreliable card / drivers (Technotrend S2 3200), so last week while struggling with all this I ordered a fireDTV as well. This came in today. I installed it, and guess what : I am seeing exactly the same problems! if I don't install MCE's mpeg2data.ax & PsisDecd.dll then scanning satellites will go fine except for the 28.2/28.5 astra/eurobird. with MCE's mpeg2data.ax & PsisDecd.dll then scanning satellites is successfully completed, but I still find my system in a state where it says "unable to start timeshifting, No video/audio detected" very often. This is a TVEngine 0.3 setup, SVN build 14010 (both client and server). I suspect the software version is not that important as I am seeing similar problems in DVBDream. Is there anybody that is using XP SP2 with a system that is stable and reliable ? Or has anybody else had to debug similar problems ? I am curious to know what versions you are running of these files: mpg2splt.ax msdvbnp.ax psisdecd.dll psisrndr.ax mpeg2data.ax msvidctl.dll Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks! Johan.
