NextPVR/Ceton InfiniTV Eth6/ FOIS /Copy Freely Locks up

[Dnabsuh]

I stuck most of the info in the header. I just installed NextPVR on Windows 10 using the Ceton InfiniTV ETH6. It detected the tuners properly, and I was able to tune to many of the network channels, including History TV and Discovery. But when I try to access other channels, like Food Network, Next PVR locks up completely.

As I changed channels, I checked the ETH 6's built in web page, and when the tuner was tuned to a channel that was "Copy Protection: Copy Control Information: "Copy Free" (00)", things would lock, but when it was "Copy Protection: Free", things worked really well.

Am I missing something in a configuration or using the wrong Codec? (LAV)

Thanks

Sounds like it's related to the way the cable company is marking the streams, effecting which channels the Ceton is able to stream without copy protection. Unlikely to be fixable by changing codecs or any other NextPVR settings.

Somehow jRiver Media Center can pull in these streams (though the interface and performance of it is terrible)

Tonight I tried again, and almost gave up, but when I was in the kitchen, sounds started coming from my office, and the tv was playing from Next PVR. It took a long time to get there but it worked.


I pulled the Ceton logs, and see that there is some sort of notification it is trying to push out via uPnp

This appears to be the relevant part of the Ceton Logs - it looks like it is trying to do some uPNP thing before it finally settles in. - Since the Ceton Drivers sit on top of Upnp Service, I am thinking a driver issue in Win 10.

I did some digging, and built a little test app on top of the ManagedUPNP.dll - it looks like when the devices are scanned, something in the PNP stack subscribes to events from every service the ceton unit exposes, including debug events. I got a copy of the code for this library from github, and I'll play around to see if I can tell why its doing that.

I did more digging and testing -this appears to be a function of the uPnp services in Windows - I was able to directly access the COM objects from a powershell script and replicate the behaviour. I guess I will have to hope Silicone Dust comes out with their 6 tuner Cablecard device before windows 7 is EOL in Jan.
