I am unable to get the K399U dual DVB USB stick working succesfully with TV server.

Firstly this error appears whenever TV server builds a tuner graph

But the TV server still manges to build a graph for the 878 and 7162 tuners.

However for the AF9015 tuner it takes TV Server about three minutes to build a graph which is of course too long!

I am able to build graphs ok using graphedit for all the tuners

The moniker for the AF9015 BDA Source filters are:

@devicenp:\\?\usb#vid_1b80&pid_e399&mi_00#6&563169b&0&0000#{71985f48-1ca1-11d3-9cc8-00c04f7971e0}\{9b365890-165f-11d0-a195-0020afd156e4}

@devicenp:\\?\usb#vid_1b80&pid_e399&mi_00#6&563169b&0&0000#{71985f48-1ca1-11d3-9cc8-00c04f7971e0}\{9b365890-165f-11d0-a195-0020afd156e5}

Can anyone provide some guidance how to resove this issue please?


TV Server log attached.

-------------

A different tuner issue I have is when scanning for channels on DVB channel nine in sydney (Nominal Freq 177500) using multiple tuners.

The 878 and AF9015 tuners will lock on to the transmisison on 191.500 MHz, however the 7162 tuners must bump the frequency to 191.625 MHz before acheiving a lock. It will not lock onto the signal on 191.500 MHz

I understand that this may be caused by cross channel interference and/or the different sensitivities of each tuner etc. In fact here in Sydney Channel nine may be transmitting on this frequency to avoid cross channel interference.

The issue for me is that if another tuner is scanned after the 7162 tuner then the frequency stored in the database is 177.500 MHZ. If an attempt is susbequently made to receive channel nine on the 7162 tuner it wil fail.

It appears that that:

- bumping +- 125 MHZ if no signal is received is only done during channel scanning.

- The database does not store the frequency offsets found during scanning for each tuner on a per channel / tuner basis.

Am I correct in this?


The workaround for me is that I must always ensure the 7162 tuner is the last tuner scanned so that the database will store the frequency 177.625 which works for all tuners.

Is there another solution to this issue?


Please keep up the good work, MediaPortal is an excellent HTPC program.

I have a Kworld K399U (same driver version) working OK with MP under Vista so I think it should work. I don't normally have any other tuners in the system, but I have run it briefly alongside another USB tuner and it ran OK as far as I know.

Have you tried disabling the other tuners in TV server and device manager - does it still misbehave ?

Just shooting in the dark, but there are a lot of 'PowerEventThread' entries in the log fragment - might be worth looking at the USB power settings in device manager i.e. is the K399U being sent to sleep by Windows maybe ?

[Anjin]

Thanks Tony

It seems the drivers for the K399U had been corupted, as there were two installed drivers listed under programs installed. I removed these and loaded the drivers directly from device manager and it is now working ok.

As for the com object error after reading some comments on another forum I cleaned the registry and reinstalled vc++ redistrib and .net packages.

Now this error no longer appears.

Hi Anjin.

I do also have the error with the com-object.
How did you clean the registry and what vc++ redistrib did you uninstall?

[Anjin]

Hi Juppe

From memory I used an application such as ccleaner to clean the registry.

I uninstalled the vc+ 2008 redistributable, however I notice that this is now installed in the latest version of Media Portal.

Try reinstalling the .net packages and updates as well.
