small difficulty with DVBviewer

[ilaps]

I use the last version of DVBViewer GE with a SAT card and TNT usb stick. It works nicely, except that eachtime I launch DVBViewer, it tells me "initialization of the DVB device has failed", and TNT doesn't work. I must go in "setting-options-hard", chose my TNT stick (which appears as Dibcom DBA digital tuner (dev1 path0) ). Then I must press "detect device", then "OK". and finally, it works.

 

Is there a mean not to do that, such that the launch is automatic, without all these manipulations : my wife doesn't appreciate!

 

Thank you for any answer

Does DVBViewer GE remember (changed) settings correctly when launched next time? Or with other words: Does it save them in the file Setup.ini?

 

Please use the support tool.

T You for answering!

 

Here is the file made by the support tool, after using several times DVBViewer for both sat and tnt; so I presume that updates are visible on these files?

Well, the setup.ini seems to be ok. Hard to tell what's going on. A bloody driver issue, I guess.

 

The only workaround I can think of ATM is forcing a hardware detection somehow when DVBViewer is launched. Try the following:

 

1) Move the setup.ini to some other place, in order to force a new device detection

 

2) Launch DVBViewer. Tune a DVB-T channel. Does it work now without the manual "Detect Devices"?

 

3) Close DVBViewer. Restore your settings resp. the setup.ini

If I delete the setup.ini, start DVBViewer, it works perfectly. If I stop and start again DVBViewer, I get the problem of initialization.

 

Is there a very simple mean to make a kind of script deleting first the setup.ini and then executing DVBViewer?

It can be easily done with a batch file. But you would lose your settings each time, including scheduled recordings etc. - no good solution. Send me a PM with your email address.
