NextPVR 3.1.1 Not Properly Recognizing DCR-2650

[BrettB]

When I try to record a non-clear QAM channel (i.e. Cable Card required), I get a "No tuner is available to record the requested show. ..." message. The only show listed in the "Dont record:" list is the one that I'm trying to record. I tested both with the NMT client and on the server. Both give the same results. Logs are attached. I couldn't see any sort of error messages in either the mvp.log or the npvr.log files indicating that it tried to schedule a recording. The DCR-2650 appears to be working OK. I can access it's web page and look at its logs, etc.

Upon further inspection, I found that when I go into Settings -> Devices, the DCR-2650 tuners are listed as "Present: No, Enabled: Yes". And when I select one of them, and do a Scan, it comes up with a listing of all the channels. So it would appear that NextPVR is able to communicate with the device.

Can you restart NextPVR.exe, and go to the Settings->Devices screen, then post your npvr.log?

BrettB what is the value you have for device

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\ Tuners\your ####\Model

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\ Tuners\your ####\Model

The only ones listed in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\Tuners are my actual Silicondust HDHR tuners. One of them is: "hdhomerun3_atsc" and the other is: "hdhomerun_atsc". (Of course, there are 2 tuners for each physical device.)

Bugger.

You might need to create one of those registry keys for your device's ID, and set the model name to something like "hdhomerun_cablecard"

Zipped log file attached.

Thank, but I'm pretty sure you'll need to do what I described above, until I come up with a patch to make it automagically happen.

OK, it looks like I got it working by adding the following 2 registry entries:

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\Tuners\#######-0\Model="hdhomerun_cablecard"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\Tuners\#######-1\Model="hdhomerun_cablecard"

Sorry to be hassle, but could you try this patch with those registry settings removed?
