obscure colossus 2 bug

[mvallevand]

The order may explain why NextPVR thinks there are 4 devices, which could be confusing the blaster configuration. It's still a design issue which sub is asking you to check.

sorry, I misunderstood sub's post. It is getting late here. I will try it tomorrow.

NextPVR just knows them as "the first colossus" and the "the second colossus". Say you've configured the blaster for "the first colossus" and later you reboot, but then windows has changed the order of the devices, then blaster settings are wrong.

v4 worked this same way, and was able to rely on windows not changing the order of the device, but it sounds like they might be in this case. That devices.log will show you the order Windows is presenting them. (you need to look at those specific numbers I bolded to tell)

I checked my devices.log files and I don't think that is the issue. Plus my blaster configs always work with the correct tuner UNLESS i MANUALLY CHANGE TUNER PRIORITY. In that case they both have the same config. On the note of the 4 tuners showing up, When I set up this computer 1 year ago, I had some issues with the hauppauge drivers causing bsods every time the card was accessed so I cleaned out the drivers with a tool called "driver remover" and factory reset the pc. I never reinstalled the drivers and assume I am using the windows update catalog drivers. If you could post a link to drivers that are known to be working, I will try those if you think it may help.

ps: Sorry for the delay, a client asked me to setup several devices for him in a hurry.

Can you supply your npvr.db3 file? I'll take a close look at what happens when I try changing the tuner priority with two of these devices in the database.

done as requested.

keep in mind, 1 colossus 2 card must trade places with another colossus 2 card. Trading places with iptv wont do it..

edit: it did not take. try this

edit2: try this link: link removed

The zipped file cannot be > 2MB. If it is you need to use cloud storage and provide a link.

Ok since you have merged these channels, do you have the problem if you unmerge them first?
