Mdapi

[sub]

This is the last working (for Acamd) file. If you could make changes to this version it might work.

The current version is the only one we can work with, since the current version of that file has lots of changes in other areas. Looking at the code changes, there doesn't appear to be anything that had changed in the MDAPI bits of it for many years, but in may be being effected by something else. You'd have to capture that output I asked for, so I can work out why it's not working.

Same as 4.2.1 except Acamd halts after being called upon. No channel data reaches Acamd.

If this is broken I am happy to let Mediaportal record the Sky channel and I just play them back via NPvr.

At this stage I'm just trying to determine if it's trying to load the MDAPI plugin (Acamd).

While running "nrecord.exe RUN" do you see the Acamd icon being created in the task tray? (lower right of desktop)

The console output from "nrecord.exe RUN" should include a line saying "Loading plugins from …." specifying a directory. I'm trying to determine if that is happening or not, so I can know if the problem is happening before or after that.

Actually, I remember there is a extra log file that could be useful for some of this.

Create a c:\temp directory, and set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software\Wow6432Node\NPVR\LogMultidec=1 (DWORD) in the registry, start live tv, and then post the NextPVR logs, and c:\temp\mdapi.txt

It does start Acamd. Will try some more testing tonight.

This is the entire log :

Do you think we could use this program like I do in Mediaportal? I have tried to get it working with nRecord.exe but no luck. He says it can be called on by any application.

Not without significant work, and unfortunately I have no way to test it these days. (and it's virtually impossible to be able to do big bits of work like that without running as you're making changes to test stuff)

[griffy]

Well I thank you very much for your help.
As the glitching happens about 1 in 6 times I start a channel and I watch most sport live I am happy just to restart a channel. I am running 4.2.1 and seem to be having better luck anyway.
I am loving the new TS reader, it is so smooth and with my new nVidia card so a big win there.
Thanks again

It might be worth trying to capture a c:\temp\mdapi.txt from a successful attempt, vs one that glitches, so I can look for what differences are in that log.
