No Video after channel change on ATSC - ConnectPins failed in logs

[sgilani]

The card decided to stop locking on to digital signals at all now (tried WinTV and TSReader Lite also), and re-installing drivers didn't help.. so it might be a hardware issue. Not sure if that's related to this problem or not? In any case, I'm getting a replacement. Hopefully that'll fix this issue too. Will let you know.

k, I got my new card in and it works fine.. unfortunately, the same exact errors coming from GBPVR.

sub, I really think we've concluded by now that this is a bug in timeshifting an ATSC source ..

I'm not surprised. It didnt really sound like a hardware bug to me.

I know, but I thought I'd report back anyway just so we can cover all bases...

Is anyone even successfully timeshifting ATSC content? I would think more people would timeshift rather than just watch live preview....

sub, I removed the channel source and re-created it.. and now, the scanning isn't working.. as it scans, the picture for my digital channels pop up in the little preview window, and the logs verify a locked signal with good quality on several stations, but after scanning it just says it couldn't find any channels... (and nothing shows up in the list below the preview screen either).. this is really confusing me now; obviously the card is working fine since the picture comes up during the scan and WinTV works just fine, but the Config program is doing something strange evidently.

i've attached the config.exe-native.log

Try running re-registerfilters.bat. On vista you'll need to run it manually from a command prompt started with 'run as administrator'.

Ah, that fixed the scanning, thanks!

As for the real problem though with the connectpins failed.. I noticed that upon a channel change I see:

2008-05-16 12:36:11.771 VERBOSE - GB-PVR Flow Status 0002

So, I assume that it's re-using the old graph since there is a second instance of the Flow Status filter.. is there a way to force it to create a new graph upon a channel change? (since it seems a fresh graph works just fine)

[sgilani]

making this change in the config.xml forced the new graph and it seems to work ok now:

<AlwaysRestartTimeshiftGraphOnChannelChange>true</AlwaysRestartTimeshiftGraphOnChannelChange>

thanks for the perfectly worded settings
