[no Bug] TV Card reported as 'unknown' after standbye (1 Viewer)

[HomeY]

Hi,

I've got a strange problem, which i pointed down to the TV Server not recognizing my TV Card from standbye.

I noticed that every morning i was getting an errormessage in MePo stating thet 'the channel wasn't mapped' to a card, which (off course) prevented me from watching TV. Attached are logs and a screenshot of the TV server config when the problem/errormessage appears.

What have i tried:

1. Tried the 'reinitialze card after standbye' option in PowerScheduler
2. Tried the command line in PowerScheduler (net stop tvservice, net start tvservice)
3. Re-installed hardware (uninstall through Device Manager, reboot, install)
4. Re-installed TV Card software/drivers

Had some other issues about 'no graph' in RC2 or other previous versions, but this is the first time the card kinda gets 'dropped' by the config.

Only way to fix this is to give the machine a reboot, and then it's all fine again (but that's not why i put it in standbye offcourse)

this is normally the card not being recognised on resume. If this happens again have a look in device manager if the device is not listed there then this is why MP can not pick it up.

Also try adding a delay to identifying cards.

I forgot to mention that. Off course i checked device manager, card is there, no yellow ! infront.

Hi,

Change the firewire driver to legacy

digital everywhere - Integrated Driver Setup

Windows 7 users should always use the 1394 OHCI controller "legacy" driver!!! Read the document included in the setup for details.

I had the same issue last week. But just before this issue one of the cards i have was not recognized in windows also. After the reboot it came up as unknown.
I think it has also to do with the fact that MP tried to save you when you wanted to record the Pfaff's

Now that's something i overlooked (never changed that settings on any install the last 2/3 years). Changed the driver and i'll do some more testing now. TNX for the tip aspik!

lol, well, i had to record Pfaff's because X Factor was about 30 mins delayed so bad recording scheduling

** EDIT **

aspik, for as for as i've been able to test now (system woke up 4 times from standbye so far) it seems like your tip works perfect!
That i never noticed that line.....

TNX again.


I'll change topic to 'FIXED' for now and will do some more testing and report again if the problem returns.
