Object Reference missing error during timeshift mode, ATSC only, v98.08b

[Braklet]

This is weird, seems common enough but I don't seem to exhibit the same problems as the other folks I've searched on the forum.

I can view Live TV great from either my analog source (PVR-500) or my ATSC source (AVerTVHD A180).

I can view recorded video from either source just fine.

I can view recordING video (accessed via Pending Recordings menu) great from either source.

I can pause Live TV and enter timeshift mode on the PVR-500.

I can NOT pause Live TV and enter timeshift mode on the A180. When I try to do so I get the old "Object reference missing..." popup and get dumped to the GB-PVR root menu.

FWIW I am using the native M$ BDA driver and mux.

Is there something obvious I can try, if not which logs should I concentrate on?

Thanks!

i get the same thing..except I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error when I try to start live TV. I've attached my logs.

Your logs look like you've got a capture source configured to use a Hauppauge PVR card, but the drivers for it arnt found in your machine.

Reproduce the problem, then zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

well there is something wrong there..I have two drivers installed. 1 for each card. See Attached screenprint.

Run the attached utility, and zip and attach the filtercheck.log it produces.

I hate to dump a fat load of logs on you for these kinds of oddball errors. Can I decrease your load by prescreening the logs first? Which are involved in timeshifting?

Danke!

here you go

Its probably just easier if you zip and attach a complete set. The error could be in one of a few places.

There seems to be something broken with your installed drivers. One of filters either doesnt load or doesnt have any pins.

The filter check utility had a problem with the same filter as GB-PVR did in the logs you provided above. ("Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II TvTuner" for the first device).

Each device has a collection of filters, each with a number of pins.

This filter either refuses to load, or has no pins. Your best bet is probably to uninstall your Hauppauge drivers, run their hcwclear utility, then reinstall the drivers.
