No Devices Scanned

[jcole998]

I'm trying to get a new install of V5 to work on a new Win 11 HP Envy 17t laptop. Installation went well.

- I then copied my old V4 config.xml and npvr.db3 files into c:\users\public\npvr-data folder. (I preserved the original installed versions of these files.)
- Started the web app.
- Devices were shown but I couldn't view anything due to a connection failure.
- So... deleted the devices that were listed and tried re-scan. Nothing.

This V5 installation is on the same laptop as my V4 installation and that installation works perfectly. They uses different ports.

Even the 'extra-" devices do not work.

Attached logs were zipped after opening the web app but before scanning for devices.

The tuner that V4 uses is the Hauppauge DCR-3250 Cable Card Triple Tuner.

After copying npvr.db3 did you rerun the installer? The database is not compatible. Copying of the config.xml could result in some things not working as expected if you don't run the default.

As for extras there is a lot more involved. Copying xml files, installing streamlink for PlutoTV, potentially installing python etc.

Thanks, Martin. I'll see what I can do.

I uninstalled V5 and then re-installed. After changing Config.xml to port 8867, the web app started up normally and asked for the login.

Went to Settings -> Devices and no devices were shown except for IPTV. Re-scan brought no new devices.

Did I forget to install anything else?

Forgot the logs...now attached.

On a "new" PC I would typically say drivers and the Silicon Dust software but you say V4 works on this laptop so I am lost.

When you un-installed did you actually remove NPVR-data?

Hmmmm... I seem to remember checking if c:\programfiles\nexpvr and c:\users\public\npvr-data were both empty but I'm not sure.

I'll uninstall again and make sure. And I keep forgetting to tell you that afte I re-install, I restart the PC then the port number.

The logs didn't help? Is there something in them I can look for? Can the V4 logs help us?

Please don't be lost! ?

The logs didn't help, no.

Sorry to hear that, Martin. Thanks for trying.

Any Win11 users having trouble with V5?

I know sub and I both use Win 11 64 bit. Are you running 32 bit?

Also do you get devices if you run

DeviceHostWindows.exe -discover

Finally if your download FilterCheck https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/FilterCheck do you see your devices.

Thanks, Martin.

Th laptop is running Win11-64bit, V4 is 32-bit, V5 is 64-bit. My desktop, upon which V4 and V5 both run, is Win10-64bit, with V5 not so well. I'm hoping V5 will run satisfactorily on the laptop.

Attached are two files from FilterCheck.exe from desktop and laptop. Looks like nothing being found, but this is new to me.

Will I need to switch to the SiliconDust HDHomeRun?
