This software fascinates me -- it appears to be the right compromise between proprietary device drivers and codecs on the one hand side and Open Source glue on the other side. Unfortunately it is not that easy to get it up and running. I think that there is a problem in the communication between TV-Server and my TV-Card. I tried to isolate three scenarios. Scenario A - need to attach CI module for changing channels =========================================== log - 1 - no CI installed log - 2 - CI installed Initially it took about 10 seconds to tune one channel. Afterwards it was not possible to change the channel. Instead MediaPortal had to be restartet and then again one channel could be tuned. The problem can be reconstructed in TV Server Configuration - Manual Control by: - Start TimeShift for an FTA channel - Select another FTA channel and Start TimeShift The TsWriter "log - 1 - no CI installed" file contains a lot of messages of the kind 18-05-2008 16:56:31.339 TechnoTrend: Get CI Slot State 18-05-2008 16:56:31.339 Technotrend: bdaapiCIGetSlotStatus failed:15 18-05-2008 16:56:31.339 TechnoTrend: DescrambleMultiple:(1) 18-05-2008 16:56:31.339 TechnoTrend: DescrambleMultiple: serviceId:28673 18-05-2008 16:56:31.339 TechnoTrend: IsCamPresent: 1 18-05-2008 16:56:31.339 TechnoTrend: IsCamReady: 0 TV-Server seemed to have assumed a CAM even though there was no CI module attached to the card. I attached the optional CI module, without CAM, and the same test succeeded, i.e. reasonably fast channel tuning and channel switch possible -- see "log - 2 - CI installed". With CI modele installed I'm able to use MediaPortal for watching TV, changing channels, and reading EPG's. Scenario B - Can't start MediaPortal twice ============================= log - 3 - start MediaPortal twice - start MediaPortal and tune a channel - terminate MediaPortal - start MediaPortal and tune a channel error: can't create graph TV-Server seems to not release the TV-card upon termination of MediaPortal, because it is neither possible to use the TV-Card with another software unless TV-Service is stopped. Scenario C - Can't recover from Stand-by ============================= log - 4 - MediaPortal standby - start MediaPortal and tune a channel - go to standby (S3 or S1) - wake up from standby error: can't create graph log - 5 - TV Server standby - start TV Server Configuration - Manual Control: tune a channel - go to standby - wake up from standby - press Stop TimeShift, press Start TimeShift error: can't create graph Scenarios B and C work if TV Service is restarted before invoking MediaPortal a second time or if the computer recovers from standby. I hope there finds a smarter solution as well. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (Btw. I ran Filmerit...) [/QUOTE]
