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?
