Digital channels won't show in PVRX2, only in config

Howry · 2008-05-31, 02:40 PM

Mine was a clean install as I did a total reformat and reinstalled everything from scratch. Still stumped by it. I will continue playing with it and follow up if I get it working.

I've now done a clean install (uninstalled app, removed gbpvr directory), and I still have the problem. When I choose a digital channel from the tv guide and click 'watch', I get a blank screen.

Interesting note: If an adjacent channel is also digital, I can channel up/down to that channel, and then it tunes fine. I can then channel up/down back to the original channel, and it then tunes also. However, this does not work if the adjacent channel is analog.

I just tried a scheduled recording of a digital channel, and it worked fine.

So it is just the live tv that is having the problem. Also, while the blank screen is displayed, if I click pause (which starts recording), then it starts working.

I was thinking of going back to 1.2.9, but since the recording is working and I have a couple of work-arounds for live tv, I think I'll stick with 1.2.13.

This software is still amazing.

Zip and post your pvrx2*.logs after trying to view live TV

Ok, here are the logs (if I did this right...)

Try changing your MPEG2 decoders in Config ("Playback" tab).

It's working now. In config under misc, I un-checked "Use Live Preview mode if possible".

What is Live Preview Mode? I don't notice anything different, except that the digital channels now work fine.

Nevermind. I just realized that disabling preview mode means that it always records. I already knew it worked when recording. I'd like preview mode to work, though.

I'm playing around with mpeg decoder selections now, but no luck so far.

Did you ever figure it out? Im still having this problem.

Thanks!

No, I have not found a solution. I'm still using the workarounds I found (ch +/- or pause).
