No digital encrypted tv. Did I delete a decoder???

[WKleeven]

It's been a while since I watched digital encrypted tv, but it worked before. Now, it doesn't work anymore. Did I delete some decoder?

I reregistered the filters.
Newcs and acamd report no errors.

In the logs:
2012-08-06 17:06:57.450 [DEBUG][1] FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: NPVR TS Reader2
2012-08-06 17:06:57.522 [ERROR][1] Unable to find named decoder

Since you haven't installed a new version (still running 2.3.6), and its just stopped working, then I'd guess its in the newcs/acamd side of things. It absolutely could be decoders based on those messages you've posted above though.

From your NDigitalHost log it seems your device is not locking up after tuning, are you sure you have a sufficient signal?

NewCS and ACAMD show no errors at all. I don't know when it stopped working, I'm guessing I did something else perhaps "delete"(?) the decoders. How can I check?

The unencrypted channels are perfectly normal, so I think the signal is sufficient.

What does the reported signal strength in NDigitalHost.log look like when you watch an unencrypted channel?

Edit: As far as I can tell, you'r using the same decoders for unencrypted..

I added the NDigitalHost.log made during unencrypted channel watching.

What could be wrong with the decoders? How can I check?

......Wait a minute. Wasn't there supposed to be multidec instance in the tray? There's none now!

There was a addition in the hosts-file. Deleted it, rebooted, but problem still there.

When starting the recording service with nrecord.exe RUN, the multidec instance is in the tray. But still no encrypted channel.
But in acamd I see "no smartcard interface defined!" at the top. But newcs still saying "OK".

You could try starting AcamdMonitor.exe prior to trying to watch an encrypted channel. It will tell you if Acamd gets anything to decrypt at all.

Btw: it is normal not to see the multidec icon when running Nrecord/NDigitalHost as a service.

Have you allowed NDigitalHost.exe through the firewall?

[WKleeven]

I started your acamdmonitor.exe before starting NPVR. Nothing happens in acamd. When I select "Nederland 1" I get the first 6 lines or so in the log.
When I select "Nederland 2" I get the next 12 lines in the log and the screen freezes on "Nederland 1". When I select "Nederland 3" I get the rest of the log with still the same screen. All this time newcs gives me "ok" after "ok".
