Trying to setup a Ceton Infinitv

[fbacher]

Resolved: I did not copy the NetworkRecorder.dll to the c:/Users/Public/NPVR/Plugins/NetworkRecorder directory.

I am sadly in a similar situation. I can't get my Ceton InfiniTV PCIe tuners to show up in NPVR. New install, Windows 7 ultimate, 64-bit, no other tuners. I verified that tuner works via Winbloze Media Center. I Stopped every Media Center service. I used SageDCT to configure. I copied the NetworkRecorder.dll to c:\Users\Public\NPVR. I created the c:\Users\Public\NPVR\Plugins\NetworkRecorder directory and created the NetworkRecorder.xml file in this new NetworkRecorder directory. I copied over my npvr.db3 with empty.db3. I have tried different port numbers in the .xml file, but still no luck. Everything is running locally.

The wiki and guide that is mentioned above is useful, but there are a few details that require some guesswork for a newbie. One thing that would be nicer is larger images. I just can't read those port numbers (no, they shouldn't be important, unless you are trying to figure out why you can't get yours to work). I'll see if I can contribute to improve on these once I figure out how to get it working.

My SageDCT Config uses the default ports, etc.:
Encoder Start Port: 6970
RTP Start Port: 5010
Tuner1: 6980
Tuner2: 6985
Tuner3: 6982
Tuner4: 6989

Using SageDCT I could test talking to my tuners. (I had to fix a permissions issue with the service before it would communicate with the service).

My NetworkConfig.xml: (I tried using port 6969, 6970, 6980)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Settings>
<PluginSettings>
<NetworkRecorder>
<FriendlyName>Graph Recorder</FriendlyName>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>6969</port>
<delay>2000</delay>
</NetworkRecorder>
</PluginSettings>
</Settings>


The NPVR.log is not very interesting (at least to me):

The NRecord.log is similarly exciting:

I do own SageTV, but it should be disabled on this machine. I have not read anywhere where SageDCT depends upon Sage to work.

Suggestions?

That's a lot of information. What I think you might have installed wrong is "copied the NetworkRecorder.dll to c:\Users\Public\NPVR" it needs to be in c:\Users\Public\NPVR\Plugins\NetworkRecorder Move it and follow step 1-6 again.

I'd need to see the verbose SageDCT debug log.

Sorry about that...

[mvallevand]

That doesn't look like the verbose log. It seems it doesn't like the channels you have 2, 5,7 though

Martin

[andcbii]

Those are the logs that are stored under C:\ProgramData\SageDCT

Right but I believe you can increase the Log Level to Verbose on on option here http://babgvant.com/downloads/sagedct/sa...ttings.jpg

Thanks for the update. I was able to get this to work. I'm not sure what changed but i was able to connect with XBMC. I was getting a black screen through NPVR but I believe that was due to codex issues.

I too am a noob and trying to set up my Ceton InfiniTV 6 ETH device on Windows 7

Where are you guys placing the NetworkRecorder.xml file?

I don't suppose anyone has done a video of the install/configuration ?
