Hi all,
I've started using NPVR instead of MediaPortal but I cannot get AcamD to work as it does with MediaPortal, it just will not decode some channels which I am hoping is just a setting somewhere (like read PMT file which NPVR needs but MePo does not)
I use AcamD 0.6.2.0 connecting to NewCS without any issues on MediaPortal and NPVR it only works for some channels.
It appears that MediaPortal can resolve the name of the channel from the stream but NPVR does not and this must be causing the issues, this is from AcamD chcahe.ini:
MediaPortal = 7D5651ED=0105,0F2E,0963,00000000,0504,00C0,History HD
NPVR = 152066D6=0105,0F2E,0963,00000000,0504,00C0,TVNZ
Where it has a different crc at the start but the the PID etc is all the same and is the same channel - History HD.
In MePo I can view the channel but in NPVR I get a black screen which I think is something to with getting the wrong crc.

Which again has the hardcoded TVNZ as the channel name with the incorrect CRC and not History HD as it shows in MePo.

I have tried disabling the chcahe.ini file so it does not use it but this makes no difference.
If it helps I can confirm when the recording service is running I do not see the acamd monitor windows even though it is set to show at startup and the service can interact with the desktop (it is installed as admin as that is the only use on the server so it has full rights) but any setting in the acamd.ini does work (if I am updating the EPG I then get the multidec icon and the acamd monitor actually launches) so I know it is working and accepting the options I provide in the ini file.
Any help would be great as I am missing out on too much Pawn Stars and Storage Wars haha
Thanks, Bob.

I have tried disabling the chcahe.ini file so it does not use it but this makes no difference.
If it helps I can confirm when the recording service is running I do not see the acamd monitor windows even though it is set to show at startup and the service can interact with the desktop (it is installed as admin as that is the only use on the server so it has full rights) but any setting in the acamd.ini does work (if I am updating the EPG I then get the multidec icon and the acamd monitor actually launches) so I know it is working and accepting the options I provide in the ini file.
Any help would be great as I am missing out on too much Pawn Stars and Storage Wars haha
Thanks, Bob.
