InfiniTV4 with OpenDCT

[KryptoNyte]

As I understand it, if your Java 7 install is 32 bit, then you want the _86.msi.

You have the 32-bit Java installed for SageTV correct? I believe you said in a previous post that you did not install 64-bit Java. If that's correct, you want x86.

[tomdomm]

Correct 32 bit java is what shows up in appwiz.clp.
did not matter all I get is a blue band down the middle of the live view in program guide. ran both after uninstalling the previous of course.

[tomdomm]

Did notice that the Ceton InfiniTV went in as 64bit.

I can clearly see you did not successfully start OpenDCT when you installed the x64 version. For now, only use the x86 version. The InfiniTV drivers are 64-bit because they are drivers, but it actually just creates a network device, so it really doesn't matter what version of OpenDCT you're running. They both will see the device the same, but since you only have 32-bit Java, only use the x86 version.

Also I didn't see any logs, it looked like you posted your opendct.properties files.

coming right up

[tomdomm]

Here is the wrapper log. Hope it helps.

[tomdomm]

a quick update I am running SageTV 9.0.4.244, Java 1.7.0.79, Online video ver. 2013032101 if it helps. anything else I can confuse the issue with.

Did you try to tune anything with 0.4.18?

[tomdomm]

should be the current - last set of logs. Something in them saying different. If so I will completely uninstall and delete directories to insure it is .4.18_x86 clean install.

[tomdomm]

verified that the uttp_http setting was back to false. still get blue band on black screen.

[tomdomm]

wrapper log from recent channel check should be channel 512

Strange. I'm not seeing it in the logs. It makes me think for some reason SageTV isn't talking to OpenDCT. wrapper.log contains log data from when you had 0.3.16 installed, but the only 0.4.18 logging I see just shows it started up, but no actual tuning.

1. Restart the SageTV service
2. Tune into a channel.
3. Post your C:\ProgramData\OpenDCT\logs\opendct.log file.

[tomdomm]

Still get blue band in blank screen.
Checked the Haupauge tuners recordings from last night same thing??
The OpenDCT.Log is 1kb from this mornings test tune...ie: virtually empty
I have something installed wrong
I am going to back out of everything! Restore system to out of box Win7, delete all installed files I can find.
Install Java (version KryptoNyte pointed to previously), InfiniTV, OpenDCT, SageTV V7_1_9

[EnterNoEscape]

That log is almost completely empty. Can you get me everything with yesterday and todays date under C:\ProgramData\OpenDCT\logs\archive. Before you end up re-doing the entire system again.

[tomdomm]

Sorry done did it. Re-installed all.
And its WORKING!!!
Installing what few plugins I use ATT
Will give a few days and attempt to add web services
But have to get back into Better-Halfs good graces again before messing up the system again
THANK YOU for your patience in putting up with my lack of patience in getting this fixed. Even if we do not know what was wrong. Obviously something I did in upgrading the system and the M-Card loosing sync with ISP.

[EnterNoEscape]

Awesome. I'm glad you finally got somewhere. I was starting to become concerned that you had bigger issues involving things like poor signal or channels being set copy once.

[tomdomm]

My theory is that I did not install the network tuner sharing portion of the Centon InfiniTV install. I would not normally install the feature because I have everything installed on one system used by one application. Working with you geniuses made me realize that the various applications in the system communicate via network connections/links. For an OLD Fart I can still learn, if you hit me hard enough.
Again THANK YOU ALL!

You may already be familiar with disk imaging (disk backup software), but regardless, I have found this free software to work remarkably well;

You can perform a complete disk image backup (like taking a photo of your hard drive exactly as it is, in it's working condition at this moment), and reinstate that image in the event of a serious problem that you can't seem to overcome.

When messing with my system, it's saved my butt a few times.
