7.1.2 breaks HVR-2250 ? [FIXED w/ PATCH]

[patja]

My HVR-2250 tuner stopped working after upgrading to 7.1.2. This is with using its dual tuners for OTA ATSC broadcast. Worked great, rock solid, prior to installing 7.1.2 today.

I tried removing and re-adding the video source and just get the error "There was a Capture Error in playback. Details: ERROR (-5,0x80140000): There was a problem setting up software video compression"

I'm seeing the exact same error with my 2250 post upgrade. I'm using the dual tuners for NTSC analog cable capture, however. Like you, never had a problem with it before today.

You should file an official bug report.

I had that same problem and had to uninstall sage and back up my wiz.bin file and then I redownloaded the new sage beta file and reinstalled the non-beta version of sage tv then installed the beta over that and everything is working once more.

I think the first time the file did not download all the way is why it broke my 2250 tuners as its working now.

@tmiranda - I see you have an HVR-2250 (as do I). Are you running the latest beta on your server? Are you experiencing any issues? I really like some of the new features in the beta (especially adding favorites for sports teams!) and would like to try it out. But I don't want to 'break' my tuner.

I've been so busy that I have not had time to install it.

Anyone else notice that the HVR-2250 tuners only allow you to select DVB-T or DVB-S as digital tuning sources? I would swear before upgrading that I had ATSC and QAM as choices. Upgrade in place broke the HVR-2250, so now I'm trying a clean install. Still only allows me to select DVB-T or DVB-S, but haven't tried recording yet (selected DVB-T).

[ptzink]

Well, looks like I should steer clear of this beta then. I am really looking forward to some of the features though! Does anyone have a positive experience with the 2250 and the new beta?

[gizmo3141]

Nope, same stuff here. Thinks I'm in Europe I think with no ATSC and only showing DVB-T/S with a capture error.

Kinda hard to evaluate a beta when it won't even run a tuner correctly.

Geeeze...rolling back!

And that's why they call it a beta.

Yep. I even tried monkeying around with properties file settings to make the encoders look exactly like they did in 7.0, but no dice, they automatically switch back to DVB-T.

Submitted bug of course.

Beyond that, I have to say I really love the Placeshifter improvements!

Now for Netflix and Ceton support!

We can reproduce this and are working on a fix now. Sorry for the trouble.

awesome thanks for the update!!!

Do you think this will be a simple file replacement that can be posted prior to the next beta version? I ask because I'm really liking everything else about the new beta, but if I can't use those two tuners for several days or a week or two, I'm gonna have to roll back to 7.0.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is the same thing or not, but I also have an hvr-2250 as well as an hdpvr. The Beta broke my install also, however the error I get says:

There was a Capture Error in playback. Details: Error (-2,0x80004005): There was a problem using a SageTV component. Please re-install the SageTV application.

I also get a bunch of recordin/ reset attempt alerts from the 2250.

I attempted a repair with the installation program, and get the same thing.

Next step is a clean install and importing wix.bin or reverting to the non-beta, until the 2250 issue is fixed. But I wanted to see if anyone else had this different error message, in case it's a different issue.

Yep, beta royally screwed my system which included 2 HVR-2250's and 2 HD PVR. I'm getting the same error returned as you (-2,0x80004005) on any HVR-2250 request..

In 10 min. I'm going to try the "patch". (It appears my main HD PVR is working, as it's currently recording)

UPDATE: The "patch" worked to correct the HVR-2250 (-2,0x80004005) error for me. Tomorrow is a big DVR day, so that will be the "Real" test..

This didn't fix the problem for my 2250. It still only shows the analog tuners

[trallyus]

For those folks getting the Error (-2,0x80004005) you should try re-downloading the beta and see if that fixes the problem. I had the same problem and once I reinstalled the original non beta of the program and set up my tuners and redownloaded the beta and installed it , that fixed that problem for me.

Patch worked for me. Thanks for the quick turnaround!
