Black Screen Woes

[sub]

I just discovered if I drop the "show=unprotected" from the IE URL I do get a complete list of channels displayed.

This sounds like all your channels are encrypted, and none are unprotected....or you need to rescan in the admin webpage, to get it to check the encryption status of each channel.

That is, using the DHCP address, not the IPv4 address, so I assume I should use the DHCP address in the forcedIP.xml file? please confirm.

You need to use whatever ip address these devices are using. Sorry, but I don't have one here, so I'm not well placed to hold your hand through it.

If you can post the output of ipconfig /all, I might be able to tell you. These devices are basically network devices, with a USB network bridge on them.

Sub,

Can you confirm if ForcedIP.xml is still required with the latest version. (3.2.9)

I forgot I temporarily moved it to the desktop but yet all my testing seemed to work fine without it.

Most people do not have an ForcedIP.xml. From memory it only comes into play with multi Hauppauge usb based DCR devices, because there is otherwise no way to determine which ip address relates to which. I suspect you might be the only user with multiple of these devices. I haven't specially done any different related to this since this workaround was first added, so it should be the same in the current release.
