Bringing up Brightness and Contrast help..... Somewhat

and now see's the ports on the card!

TVE 3/MP1 should have supported that already for your tuner (in TVE 3 there's an "add s-video channels" button).

First one Morph talked about earlier today
[2014-08-04 16:34:09,916] [49380 ] [26 ] [ERROR] - WDM analog capture: failed to configure stream
System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'Dxerr9.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

This seems to be new
[2014-08-04 16:34:10,021] [49485 ] [26 ] [ERROR] - tuner extension loader: failed to load extensions
System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'Dxerr9.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

These are both caused by the same problem, which is the one morpheus_xx mentioned. I've just pushed the fix to my branch.
@morpheus_xx
I decided to do something slightly different than what your patch does. The replacement function seemed to generate longer strings which are a bit unsuitable for logging in the way I was previously doing. So, I applied your patch but also removed use of the function from the custom device plugins. Further, I completely remove the DxErr9 DLL code and project to avoid chances of people using it again without knowing the consequences. Hope you don't mind too much.

This did not seem to register the actual failure at [ERROR}
[2014-08-04 16:34:14,391] [53855 ] [26 ] [ERROR] -
Mediaportal.TV.Server.TVLibrary.Interfaces.TvExceptionNoSignal: Failed to lock signal.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but failure to lock on signal happens sometimes - especially during scanning. It is now logged as an error to clearly identify it. You can probably consider this to be normal/expected behaviour.

That's a bug! Fixed and pushed. Thanks.

That's the better solution, thank you

@morpheus_xx
Thank you! As mentioned in another thread (or here, I'm losing track..) I didn't force pushed the last time because I was afraid I didn't done the solution merging correctly
So would you consider this branch as ready? I already talked with @mm1352000 about this and he told me if think it is ready, merge it to TVE3.5 master and he will merge it back into his branch

It requires two changes before merging it: 1) the change above leads to skipping one commit and 2) one commit changes the default model connection to SQLite and adds references to SQLite assemblies. I'd like to keep out this step from merging and "park" it in a branch where it can be used for easier local debugging without changing the "default" database of TvService.exe

Would be cool if you could do that, would make things easier

[2014-08-04 16:34:14,391] [53855 ] [26 ] [ERROR] -

MM, maybe I did not explain it correctly or I do not understand it correctly
The first line of the Exception whens with [ERROR] - "explanation"
That exception does not have anything after [ERROR} -
The remaining lines do say what it is but the first line of the exception does not have what the exception is And, why is it this Failed to lock signal caused an exception.....

 

[morpheus_xx]

This was my intention

And done: first part is the Sqlite support (ssdl and modification for DB init) which is now rebased onto mm's branch: https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/commits/EXP-TVE3.5-MP1-MP2-SQLite. It's ready to be merged into mm's branch directly, so @mm1352000 if you like, feel free to merge

It does not contain references to Sqlite in app.config or packages.config, so the current preferred connection will be kept.

The remaining changes I placed into a new branch: https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-1/tree/EXP-TVE3.5-MP1-MP2-SlimTv. Here I changed the default connections string and also added the "collection" script for MP2 (which requries all output inside TvServer/SetupTv bin folders to work properly). My intention is to use this branch mainly for debugging purposes.
@FreakyJ do you now have a full collection script ready to assemble a "slimtv" plugin?

 

[FreakyJ]

I didn't finished this because you seemed not happy with the way I took and modified it yourself...

@morpheus_xx
Am I stupid or is there no way to start LiveTv from within the TvGuide if there is no EPG?
Also the mouse seems to be not working there....

Confirmed, fixed and pushed. "NoProgramsPlaceholder" had no actions attached.

Also the mouse seems to be not working there....

If you mean mouse wheel actions this is correct, have to check this when I'm back from vacation.

No I also mean clicking and hover effects
