GBPVR won't start up my Hauppauge Nova-t any more

[frazer]

Hello,

I've been playing with GBPVR using a Nova-t (model 90002) for a while, and decided (stupidly it now seems) to delete all my epg channels and start afresh. Now, though, when I try to map channels to the epg, I just get the message that GBPVR can't start up the card. All the settings are as they should be, and as they were before, so it's a mystery to me why it won't work any more.

I am using an XCard, which I know causes problems, but I have disabled and uninstalled it before attempting to scan for channels, which did the trick before. With the Xcard installed, the computer shuts down completely on channel search, but this is not the problem now. Previously, I was able to reinstall the XCard after doing the channel mapping, and then run GBPVR without problems; there was never the same problem with the computer shutting down when watching in timeshift mode or when updating the TVGuide using the DVB broadcast epg.

Anyway, as I say, the XCard shouldn't be the issue now, so does anyone have any ideas what may have gone wrong? The card is definitely still working fine- it runs as ever with myTheatre/DVBViewer, and GBPVR still finds it in the capture source settings section of the configuration (where you can tick for it only to display installed cards in the drop down menu, it comes up with the 90002 as the only option). I have tried changing the BDA scan number, even though the settings all worked as they were before, but to no avail.

Thanks for any ideas,

Frazer

reproduce it, then zip and attach your logs and I'll take a look.

here are the logs. thanks a lot for the quick response; especially as you apparently have much better things to be doing at the moment!

best wishes,

hello sub,

sorry to bump my own message up, but before it disappears under the mass of newer posts, does a quick look at these logs suggest anything obvious, or am I a hopeless case?

thanks again,

I've taken a good look at the logs, and can see the error, but I'm not sure exactly what is going wrong.

Does it help at all if you explicitly set the video decoder then restart the config app and retry? It seems to happen soon after getting the preferred decoder.

If it doesnt help, let me know, and I'll see if I can provide a version of nativeutilities.dll with a couple of extra diagnostic messages around this specific problem area.

[frazer]

Thanks for the reply,

Unfortunately, setting the video decoder doesn't help. I also tried removing all bar one of the video decoders I have installed (that's the only thing I can think might have changed since when it was working before), but to no avail.

Thanks again for your help,

You could try with the attached patch, then post your logs again. It'll hopefully give me more info on what is happening.

[frazer]

Thanks sub, but where do I put this patch? Putting it in the main GBPVR directory, the configuration log doesn't look any different on first glance, though it may well be I'm missing something. Putting it in the plugins directory though, I get a Windows installer box come up on launching the configuration asking me to put the disc with the GBPVR installation file in.

Thank you

It should overwrite the NativeUtilities.dll in your gbpvr directory. It'll add a couple of additional messages to config.exe-native.log.

[frazer]

OK, here are the latest logs. Strange though that it didn't warn me I was overwriting a file when I added the patch to my GBPVR directory.

Thanks

Frazer
