Vista and EVR support (2 Viewers)

vmr9.log should be under log/ relative to the startup directory of mediaportal.exe (depends on your shortcut settings). normally MP should be started within "program files\team mediaportal\mediaportal\", but maybe this is different on your installation?

edit: i think you need to disable DX9 exclusive mode, since this won't work together with EVR yet. usually this should have been disabled automatically, but please give it a try.

are you using any plugins that "mess" with the picture, such as the crop-manager? they are known not to work too.

I actually tried to disable the VMR9 exclusive mode just after i posted my previous msg. No difference though.

*plonk* double post about plugins merged as edit into above post

My MediaPortal.log file is located under c:/ProgramData/Team MediaPortal/MediaPortal/Log

No vmr9.log file there though.

Not that i know of. I also set the crop settings back to 0 just to be sure that that wasn't causing the problem.

are you able to play recorded TV? i have no way of testing HDTV at the moment, because my FloppyDTV will only arrive next week (Twinhan doesn't work under Vista for me)

 

[Laban]

I can play recorded tv. The ff doesn't work that well though but it works.

 

[Eabin]

that's interesting. i am curious what i will find next week with a (hopefully) working TV-card.

Maybe you could still try to locate a vmr9.log somewhere, as this could maybe give me a clue what goes wrong. you could try using sysinternals filewatcher (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/FileAndDisk/Filemon.mspx) to see if a vmr9.log is ever accessed, and where it is located.

I'm curious too.

Off topic: Especially about the tv-card. Thinking about replacing my Technotrend 3200 cause they don't seem to have the best drivers/support. And it's going to be a Floppy DTV (S2) or a Hauppauge WIN-NOVA-HD-S2 + their USB CI.

The ProcessMonitor reports NAME NOT FOUND when it tries to create (Operation = CreateFile) this file:

C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Log\vmr9.log

I changed the execution for MediaPortal.exe so that it run's as as Administrator. Same problem.

Edit: i also noticed that it says "FAST IO DISALLOWED" when it tries to open the file. The MediaPortal.log file is created successfully so i'm guessing that it doesn't use FAST IO then.

the usb-ci seems rather iteresting to me too. especially if it can decrypt channels received by my other cards (one twinhan and one knc) which work fine with FTA, but are causing all sorts of troubles when used together with a CAM.

 

[Laban]

That's the same problem as i have. And i'd like to see how the encrypted channels work on the TT S 3200 using the USB CI instead of the TT CI..

Anyway, this is a bit off-topic. Did you see the part about FAST IO DISALLOWED that i added in my previous post ?
