USB Avermedia Volar + Vista Home Premium?

[dvous1]

I'm keen to know if anyone has managed to get this type of tuner working with GBPVR? It's a USB DVB-t 'Volar' made by avermedia. It comes up in my list of detected devices but when I try to initiate channel mapping it tells me that "GB-PVR was unable to start the BDA device you have configured. Check the device is configured properly and not already in use."

I'm not sure where to go from here. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm running Vista Home Premium on a Duo core intel 2.5GHz with 4g ram.

Cheers

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

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

You'll need to zip and attach the config.exe.log and config.exe-native.log files, rather than just the error message shown above.

[dvous1]

OK....it's not a process I'm familiar with (and Vista doesn't help)...where do I find these log files? Sorry to be a pain.

[sub]

Take a look in the sticking 'posting support questions' post. It has info about this stuff.

[dvous1]

OK....thanks, a bit of reading goes a long way. BTW my version is v1.2.13

2008-08-01 09:16:01.103 VERBOSE FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: AVerMedia BDA Digital Capture

If you have the drivers installed for this device, then they dont match the driver names specified in bda.ini for this device.

Run filtercheck.exe from the gbpvr directory, then zip and attach the filtercheck.log and I'll take a look.

[dvous1]

When I click the filtercheck app a window flashes on screen for a split second then disappears...is this normal? I looked for the filtercheck.log afterwards but can't find anywhere....is it supposed to appear in the logs directory?

[dvous1]

OK....just tried running filtercheck as administrator and created what looks like a log file (attached). Is this ok?
