Config crashes during digital mapping

[herrmannj]

It seems that some underlaying code hase changed. With 1.2.13 I have also some randomly crashes while watching tv which I never had before. It seems only happen while watching via sat, never while watching via dvbt.

I'm a little bit busy this time so I can not dig deeper and about starting summer holidays.

Maybe sub will have a look if he got back. I will also do a little bit investigating wenn I will be back and provide logs then.

I hit the same issue once. Same exact error. Attached are the logs from my issue in case it helps to compare.

I've had some random crashes also after the upgrade - but I am using DVB-T.
Seems to be 'surfing' channels using the up/down channel buttons, and I got the 'PVRX2 has encountered an error and needs to close' dialog. Only happened a few times though...
On a new PC I could not use 1.2.13 due to it crashing when trying to scan. On this PC I upgraded to 1.2.13, and I am too chicken to try a rescan, as I think it will crash if I try.

I have the same issue - crashes on the last part of the scan.

Like Pob, I scanned on 1.2.9 then upgraded to get round the problem.

For info I attach the JIT and log files.

Pob may have discovered a fix for this. Others who are experiencing the problem should see http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=35862 and post their results in that thread.

Some people are reporting issue while mapping channels on the new version but can map them in the old version and then upgrade to the new fine.

As I'm having the same issue:

Can I just install 1.2.13 over 1.2.9 or should I keep only certain files, like gbpvr.db3 and the like, and copy them back after installing 1.2.13 ?

[whurlston]

You don't need to keep any files. It will not overwrite your database but it is always a good idea to create a backup of it as well as config.xml and also recordings-dump.xml. If you have an HDHomeRun, you will need to add the bda.ini entries again after upgrading.

Did you happen to try the method in the post I linked above?

I'm getting this with a Freecom DVB-T (Version 3) USB stick. Gets to the 6th mux of 6 and crashes with Send/Don't Send. Nothing to do with Comskip setting - not using Comskip and tried it both ways.
I was really trying to remap to correct chamged channels (e.g. UK History is now Dave) but no luck.

Two different issues here being mixed up I think.
Unchecking comskip solved the issue I was having, where scanning was not finding any channels at all. This was in v1.2.9, with two different types of Hauppauge tuner.
I was using v1.2.9 because, like you, I could not get 1.2.13 to scan without crashing.
So the TWO current issues some of us are having:

• 1.2.13 crashes when you try to scan
  
• 1.2.9 does not find any channels if comskip is turned on
  

I posted some logs when I was having the crashing issue, perhaps you could post yours as someone may be able to see the cause?

[Agamemnon]

Had the same problem and reverted to the previous version.

I posted the logs in the following thread.
