TV tuner not recording
« on: February 07, 2006, 01:52:07 pm »

Hi all! If this is a wrong place for this post please forgive. I have tried finding information about this on the forum but was unsuccessful. My Problem is that when I click "Start Recording", MC gives me an error "A valid digital TV device is not selected". I have the latest version of the media center (11.1.114) and the tv tuner is Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II. When I go to "Configure TV", I have the Hauppauge listen in the Analog TV tuner section and nothing in the digital TV section. When I click Digital TV tab, Media Center Crashes, and when I click Recording tab, and then click another tab, it tells me "Failed to create folder. Make sure the folder name you entered does not contain illegal characters". I am running windows XP Pro, Pentium 4 1.6Ghz, 512 Ram, and 440GB combined hard drive space. Also I am a registered MC 11 user. Two things that I feel might be connected to this problem is 1) The TV tuner card has a direct sound output (no audio wire line in) and the language for non-unicode programs is Russian. I mention the las one because it might have a connection to the "Failed to create a folder" error. Sorry if there is Useless Information in the post but I am trying to create a comprehensive problem description. Please help and thanks in advance!

Can you provide a log file?

Go to Help and select "Configure debug logging...". Make sure "Output to a log file" is checked. Also make sure TV is selected in the "Types of events to log:" box.

Sorry I'm a total noob at the forum interface. How would I attach the log as an attachment? When I try to just paste it it tells me that it exceeds 8000 characters. Any suggestions? Should I use one of those file transfer services? There's gotta be a way in the forum to do this.

This part of the log file does not reveil any problem.

Please try running it again, do all the things that you had problems with, except clicking the "Digital TV" tag since you do not have a digital device. Afterwards quit MC and email me the entire log file. The file is located in C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Application Data\J River\Media Center 11\Log.txt.
