Blaster Executable Path Broken

[rtylerpaul]

Im wanting to setup extra channels in my list.  I just upgraded to 7.0.3.250920 unfortunately.  

it seems the Ir Blaster Executable Path in the Update Channels/Import Channels does not allow for proper path format - i.e. 

after selecting proper input, 

c:\usbuirt\usbuirtsend.exe {arg}   {channel}

will display the following after save:

{arg} {channel}    

so anything with slashes for the path is filtered out.

Please let me know how to fix this.  This has broke one of my tuners.

That reply seems like a spam not. Unless you are adding new channels old channels should still work if not something else is going on. Maybe send the zipped logs.

Yes I have tried many things.  my old tuners are functioning with the same convention.  when I add the same variables to the new tuner, it filters out the slashes.

heres Part of the log after it truncates.  Ive tried placing the dat files and USBUIRT in the root, and the C:\Program Files\NextPVR\client    directory.

I wanted to see the logs were you saved the setting.

Where do I find the log that has the recently saved info?

Send the zip file from the main settings page.

I couldn't see where you created or updated them I guess we need to look at the database. I can hook up an HDPVR to test after Remembrance Day tomorrow.

I finally had a chance to try this and NextPVR is definitely saving the path properly, however I did find one issue that is properly what you were seeing. After clicking "Update Channels" the changes are made to the database but there is also an internal cache of the channels that is not refreshed so the old settings are still sent. You need to restart the server to load the new settings.
