IR Blasting with NPVR 5

[three6zerocool]

Hello,  new user here to NextPVR 5.

I have just upgraded from V4 install using a forum guide to copy my config.xml and DB files over to V5.

Everything seems to have worked, and all my channels show up etc, but I am having issues getting IR Blasting working again under V5.
I have a combination of DVB-T NZ channels,  and STB channels via set top box, via a Hauppauge Colossus capture card.

In Nextpvr v4, I configured the blaster configuration to use HaupBlast.exe to fire IR signals using the Hauppauge Colossus cards own IR blaster port.

In NextPVR, I found where to enter in blaster settings under 'Device' settings for the Colossus card, but when I select a channel sourced from my STB, no IR signals are blasted.

In my V4 config, the HaupBlast.exe was in my program files (x86) folder, so I just copied that file into the same folder in NextPVR 5.
If I open a command prompt, and navigate to that folder, and type Haupblast.exe 1,  it works, and I see my STB change channels, but when I use nextpvr 5 to select channel, I get no channel change.

My blaster config line is  'C:/Program Files (x86)/NPVR/HaupBlast.exe with {channel} parameter.
It seems to have saved the blaster configuration for all the channels, and they say 'Haupblast.exe 1'  'Haupblast'.exe 2' etc etc.

What am I doing wrong?

You aren't posting your zipped logs with support post.

Yeah, we'll need to see the logs to be able to tell you what's happening.

Sorry about not posting logs,  but sometimes one is not home in front of your machine hosting NPVR server.
(as was in this case)

So, my question was seemingly a pretty obvious newbie type NPVR5 question, that I thought might be answered quite easily, without logs.
Obviously that is not the case.

[three6zerocool]

OK, back at home now.
Logs included this time.

Am using identical Blast parameters from V4,  which I am using cmd.exe to run a delay script, which uses HaupBlast.exe to control my STB.

In the device settings of NPVR 5 webapp, have the following in the first field,      C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
In the second field I have,  /C blast.cmd {channel}

From a windows command prompt, I can use HaupBlast.exe 5  for example, and it IR blasts to channel 5 on my STB
It also works from a batch script when executed,
If I change parameters, and use Crogram Files (x86)/NPVR/HaupBlast.exe in first field,   and {channel} in second field, it still does nothing.

Can not get it to IR blast within NPVR5 or clients.  It does however display video and audio perfect from STB's current channel.

If I reload my V4 image,  all works fine.

I have environmental variable paths set for the NPVR-Data folders and the Program Files (x86)/NPVR  folders where my script and HaupBlast.exe  reside.
Tried moving the Script and Haupblast.exe into NPVR-data folder, but made no difference.

Seems to be some kind of permissions or path issue, or contextual issue?  It must be something so simple I am overlooking. (grin), hence my original posting.
Going from V4 to 5 is quite daunting at first,  but am getting my head around it, and am seeing the elegance of the new software, but it is still bit of a learning curve.

Sorry,  not sure where that Smiley came from.. oops.

Did you ensure that you used a tuner with the blaster in those tests? Maybe retry and upload new logs to make it easier to find.

Martin

[three6zerocool]

Yes, I certainly did use a tuner channel with blaster.
The STB channels are all the ones beginning with 'Sky'

I am quite happy to upload new logs.

Can you click on the Settings->Devices->Colossus screen, take a screenshot and post it?

[three6zerocool]

Here is a fresh set of logs.
Rather than use the NextPVR web client,  I used my normal Kodi client running on the same PC as NPVR5 server.

I changed channels about 10 times from my STB.
It didn't IR blast, so effectively watched 10 versions of the last channel my STB was on for a few seconds each.
