Update testing

Hi mbb,

Yeah, your totally right, we are a bit (too) overwhelmed. But this is a feature people asked for about 1,5/2 years now. And it would be so great having support for it! I appreciate it so much you gave us this start.

So I understand that you need more logfiles and I for myself can't stand it when we are on a dead end and can't do anything because the logs don't say much!

I began testing and found some nice results and some more questions.

I added these questions on the end, so you don't have to read all of the text below!

TEST-STORY:

I searched the internet for some answers and of course the MP forum. Searched for the "MPG2PIN" error and "COM library" error (also equivalents like MPEG2 etc) and found this post:

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showthread.php?p=79505&highlight=mpeg2#post79505

I continued testing and tried to get at the point where DoubleHeliX and Strawberry were yesterday. Therefore I manually added a channel (german ARD on Astra 1G in this case = FTA) with configuration.exe.  I assigned it to the TTPremium card, made a channelgroup 'Test1' and also assigned the channel to this group.

Then I started MP, got the "COM library" error, clicked ok and went to TV. I clicked button Channel and nothing happened. So: NO "MPG2PIN" error.

Then went to Settings and started the wizard and showed the TTPremium card, selected a satellite and search for channels began. After about 3 seconds it was done, no channels found. Finished the wizard, went back to TV function, clicked Channel again. Now it says: 'Failed to start TV'. But again, no "MPG2PIN" error.

Then I went to Channelgroups. But there were non. Why? I added 'Test1' with configuration.exe.

So back to the found thread, user Happytalk is having a similar problem and he mentioned TVDatabaseV21.db3 (1 month ago). So I found he SQLLite editor in de docs-folder of MP. Opened this db and found some tables. Most of them are empty. Is this database still used in current 0.2.0.0. SVN? If yes, there is no TV-card info in it (idCard), neither are channels or groups. And if ending MP or configuration.exe (MP Setup) this db gets the current date/time in the 'last changed on' field in the properties of the file. Conclusion: MP wants info from it. Am I right?

When starting configuration.exe again, it shows me all the correct settings of the card and channels, so it is stored somewhere, but can MP access this too?

So I think this TVDatabaseV21.db3 has to be filled with configuration.exe, but it isn't. Why else is MP not seeing the TTPremium card and do I have to follow the wizard (each time I start MP, it doesn't save anything too!) and why doesn't it see the channel I assigned and channelgroup?

I allready deleted the db (maybe it was corrupted?) and checked all settings again in configuration.exe and MP, db was created again, but still no effect.

For the "COM library" error: User Happytalk disabled the option 'use card for recording' in configuration.exe. Guess what, started MP, didn't have the error anymore! (Later after some not documented hacking , it came back though...). Conclusion: Maybe this error has something to do with recording?

Next, why don't I get the MPG2PIN error like DoubleHeliX and Strawberry? I think this has something to do with TTPremiumsource.ax. I registered this thing like this:

Start > Run>

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\Mediaportal\TTPremiumsource.ax"

After that there is a message it registered OK (if you use /s option, this message is not shown). DoubleHeliX and Strawberry: did you do this too? If not, what do you get if you register it like above (so include the installpath of your MP install!).

Still recieving MPG2PIN error?

Last: I found some (big, some over 400kb) log-files after all doing this, in the log-folder:

-error.log

-MediaPortal.log

-vmr9.log

-and 2 or 3 more.

I will add these logs to this thread tonight (haven't access to it now), there are some nice errors in it!

There are still some things we can investigate:

Why is the Auto-tune not working correct in configuration.exe? Are the LNB/KU-band settings etc. right?

I didn't have time to test this, but maybe we can work something out after answering the following questions.

 Questions:

to mbb:

- Is TVDatabaseV21.db3 still in use. If yes, there is no info in it for the TTPremium card, neither are channellistings. Does this have to do with configuration.exe?

- Could you have a look at the log-files after I added them here tonight (in about 8 hours from now) and maybe help us out?

to DoubleHelix, Strawberry (and others):

- Are you using TT drivers 2.19c.

- Did you assign the manually added channel to the card and to a channelgroup?

- How did you register TTPremiumsource.ax and what happens if you try it like above? Still getting MPG2PIN error?

- What happens if you disable 'use card for recording' in configuration.exe? Still getting COM library error?

Yes, lots of questions, but it's a new start to get us on the road again.
