Vista and EVR support (2 Viewers)

[Eabin]

does the path exists? if not, you may have to create the folder "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Log\"

 

[Laban]

Yes, that path exists. That's where the MediaPortal.log file is created and that works just fine.

sorry if this sounds childish, but did you double check that you are looking for c:\programData, and not "c:\Program Files", because the first one is hidden under windows vista by default.

another thing that comes to mind: do you have User Account Control disabled?

 

[Laban]

I'm looking for c:\Program Data\.. That's where i found the MediaPortal.log file.

The first thing that i do after a clean install is to enable "view system files, hidden.."..

I disabled User Account control now, it's rebooting as i'm typing. Perhaps that solves this problem.

Edit: ok, just noticed that it actually wants to create the files in c:\Program Files\..... And there's not such dir in my installation. It's c:\program.. I'll try to create this dir manually.

 

[Eabin]

hopefully, because i'm starting to run out of ideas

 

[Laban]

Ok, i got the vmr9.log file now. Had to create the Log dir in C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Log

Or c:\Program\.. Seems that the Program Files dir is just a link, or vice versa.

unfortunately i cannot see anything suspicious in the logfile. i assume when you disable EVR everything works as expected? did you try the new tsreader filter? can you try using the default direct sound device?

other than that, i have no real clue what could be the problem, but i hope to be able to reproduce it with the new TV-Card.
Anyway, thanks for trying to find the vmr9.log for me. maybe i will add some more debug output, if you are willing to test a few more revisions of the dll in the coming days.

edit: one more idea: if you have a file named error.log, please attach it too.

Tried with the new tsreader, no go. Locks upp when start the HD channel. Didn't work in the regular channels either. I could watch recorded material but it locked up after a little while.

 

[Eabin]

does lockup mean you have to kill mediaportal.exe, or are you able to just stop the video?

 

[Laban]

It usually doesn't lock the entire application.
