Video Archiver.dll error message. Jeff?

Jeff, what does the following error look like to you?

Code:

It looks like it could be some sort of skin file error (9/18/2006 7:58:41 PM.171 ERROR [1] Inner exception: System.Xml.XmlException: '"' is an unexpected token. The expected token is '='. Line 27, position 89.). Is this on your test machine?

Yeah, thats what I thought.

Is this on your test machine?

Its on daphatty's machine. It popped up in this thread about ATSC: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?t=19718&page=9 (see logs in post #84). I dont think it is related to the changes I've made, but he'd indicated he thought it only started with my patch.

I had just updated VA to the latest version (from the wiki) prior to applying sub's patches. I think my VA installation is simply screwed up since it hasn't worked properly in quite some time. Does VA include an unistaller? (I'm at work right now so I can't check for myself.) Maybe removing it will fix GBPVR. (God I hope I don't have to rebuild...)

[Jeff]

Yes, it has an uninstaller. There should be an entry in your gbpvr pgorams group.

Uninstalling VA 3.0 fixed the problem I was having. I'm going to reinstall VA after I am done testing sub's ATSC patches to see if I can narrow down where the failure occurred.

[daphatty]

OK. I figured out that the issue with VA was related to an incompatibility with Sassari. Now, I'm not sure how dottore has added support for VA Panel if I can't even configure VA without crashing the config app. Regardless, there is definitely something broken. This poses a problem for people with similar configurations since the only work around I could come up with is uninstalling VA. Doing so caused me to lose 400GBs worth of recordings. (I'm still scratching my head over this...)

Anyway, here is a screen shot of the error message that GBPVR kicks out. I'm not sure who needs to see this but someone may want to alert the interested parties.

[Jeff]

What were you doing when this came up? It looks like something that would come form the config application, but that should be skin independent. Were you trying to configure the dvd2mpg plugin or a particular tab of the VA Plug-in?

I get the same error message when trying to run Config and using the Sassari skin, switch back to Blue and Config comes up as normal

All I did was launch the config app after the VA 3 installation completed. The config app doesn't actually launch until I click OK on that error message.
