Error: Unable to find available capture device

[fritzpoll]

Hi all,

I've been running NextPVR for a few weeks on a system with two tuner cards - a TBS 6221 and a TBS 6920

As of today, the former has stopped working within NextPVR - Windows can see it, and the NextPVR settings page can see it and scan it (spotting the channels I deliberately removed from the list), but actually trying to watch a channel on the TBS 6221 (like BBC 1) results in the error "unable to find available capture device" being displayed. Accessing a channel on the other card works fine.

Logs are attached, including my FilterCheck log (I did a good hunt around the forums!)

Can anyone help?

Sorry to be a pain, but can you recreate that filtercheck.log again, and try using the tuner immediately after, and post the logs again? The logs and filtercheck in that previous zip seem to disagree.

SO run filtercheck and grab the log, then run the application, try using the tuner and bundle all the logs together again?

Yep. Thanks.

I have been fiddling with this thing for 3 hours, and now the SD channels are working! How has that happened? Sorry for the time waste, but it has partially fixed itself


HD channels are black screens, alarmingly, but the original error has gone. Any thoughts on the black HD screens?

No worries.

It probably comes down to the H.264 decoder you have selected (or lack there of).

I will have a go with SAF6 - thanks for the support though!
