Freecom DVB-T crash when scanning for channels

[sub]

PS can you enable rar uploads?

Sorry, no. I dont want look in rar files. Post zip files.

The log which I think this relates to is:

I'm not really sure, but it looks like the version for something isnt correct. You havnt applied an old PsiParser.ax patch have you?

[BigLarry]

No probs about the rars

No, I haven't applied any patches, just the standard install.

[sub]

I'm not really sure.

Assuming you're running v0.99.12, it might be worth installing each of the patches from the survival guide in the order they're listed. If there is an old version of something, hopefully this will correct it.

[BigLarry]

OK,

I'll give it a go now and let you know.

Thanks for the help.

[BigLarry]

I added this:

[Freecom Forum]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=USB Digital-TV Receiver
FILTER_CAPTURE=USB Digital-TV Device Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport

To the BDA which I'm pretty sure is correct yet I still get the error can't find device.

Attached (finally!!) are the logs!

[sub]

You'd need to attach the -native.log as well.

Sometimes manufactures do bizarre things like add spaces at the end of the names. To check for this you might need to do a search for the names in the registry, then edit (but dont change) the value to see if it had a space somewhere.

[BigLarry]

Here is the native logs, searching the registry now.

[BigLarry]

In the registry I can find:

ValueNameriverDesc
Value data:Freecom USB Digital - TV Receiver

I used the value data in bda.ini but still to no avail.

Thanks.

Larry.

[BigLarry]

Just used graphedit to confirm the string names, giving a bda.ini entry as:

[Freecom DVB]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=USB Digital-TV Receiver
FILTER_CAPTURE=USB Digital-TV Device Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
