Is this ini related to ATSC tuning?

No.

CableCARD tuners are network-connected cable TV tuners with the ability to decrypt channels (a CableCARD is like a CAM). They are detected via SSDP, controlled via a UPnP interface (this is why TVE needs the MP2 UPnP library), and deliver an RTSP stream. TVE uses the IPTV filter to receive the RTSP stream.

MPIPTVSource.ini is the standard configuration file for the IPTV filter. All instances of the filter - including virtual IPTV tuners and CableCARD tuners - will need this configuration.

So maybe I've mixed up this, because the quote above was related to TvCardATSC class.

TvLibrary.TvException: Unable to start graph
at TvLibrary.Implementations.DVB.TvCardDvbBase.RunGraph(Int32 subChannel)
at TvLibrary.Implementations.DVB.TvCardDvbBase.DoTune(Int32 subChannelId, IChannel channel, Boolean ignorePMT)
at TvLibrary.Implementations.DVB.TvCardATSC.Tune(Int32 subChannelId, IChannel channel)

.

If it is related to MPIPTVSource.ini there could be an issue with the storage location. IIRC we had already support for custom folders for TVE3.5 (the patch from @FreakyJ). TVE3 doesn't support this yet (https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi.../MPIPTVSource/MPIPTVSource/Utilities.cpp#L103)

@briancampo:

1. Can you please check if there are logs created in ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\log folder? If this folder does not exist, try , create it and try tuning/playback again. Then there should be a log file.
2. Try is to copy MPIPTVSource.ini to ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server and try again.

Please post results of each step?

Please trust me. I wrote this code!

TunerDri.cs is the main CableCARD tuner implementation class. It inherits from TvCardATSC:
https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...TVLibrary/Implementations/Dri/TunerDri.cs#L43

The IPTV tuner is a component member of that class:
https://github.com/MediaPortal/Medi...TVLibrary/Implementations/Dri/TunerDri.cs#L70

If it is related to MPIPTVSource.ini there could be an issue with the storage location.

Honestly I wish we could use a consistent location for TVE stuff. With respect, at this point I feel like your insistence on configurable locations for everything is causing more problems than it is solving. It is certainly a huge headache for me. When trying to provide support, nothing is consistent.

I understand this, for TVE3.5 it's solved already. But you know about the state of TVE3.5 better than me.

For TVE3 based plugin (which I still see as interim solution until TVE3.5 is available) I'll add the logfolders to MP2 Log collector. This should improve the situation.

It's actually not solved already. For example with the current release that is available for MP2, we still have no idea where the TV Server configuration log files are put. breese and I have searched several times, but it's as if the logging is disappearing into /dev/null.

Thank you.
I'd appreciate it if you could include the MPIPTVSource.ini and analog tuner config files too as I think the MP1 watchdog does.
...and also if you could include the dxdiag and application event log files that I previously requested.
User documentation in the wiki would also be appreciated. People have to be able to locate config files when [for example]:

• editing WebEPG config (like today's WebEPG thread)
• customising tuning details
• configuring IPTV filter

Such use cases are probably never going away, and can't easily be solved by improving tools. IMHO consistency and simplicity would make it a lot easier. Of course from your perspective everything would be consistent because you're only dealing with MP2... but please consider in the longer term I'm facing a situation of having to support 3 different kinds of releases (MP1, MP2 and stand-alone).

While the installer creates the MediaPortal TV Server folder, there have never been any logs written to it.

Well, TV Server configuration always produces log output. So, the question is not whether log files should exist or not. They absolutely unequivocally should. The question is where the log files are... or if they're not created, why they're not created. Anyhow, this was only one example that I'm aware of. There could be others that I'm not aware of.

IMHO we're getting a bit off-topic here. We can discuss this further in another thread.

 

[briancampo]

the set of logs attached yesterday were all the logfiles from the MP2 Server/Logs directory. I also used the new Log collector this morning to gather the package attached here. Will try the MPIPTVSource.ini part shortly

Just tried adding MPIPTVSource.ini as described in step 2 but doesn't seem to have affected anything. Same error shows up in the logs when trying to tune to a station. Updated logs attached.
