TechnoTrend card not working after hibernation

[ianred22]

Hi after my PC comes out of hibernation the channels tuned into the TechnoTrend card do not display anything or play sound. The channels tuned to my Hauppauge card work fine.

A reboot of the PC fixes everything.

 

Do you have any idea how I can wake up my TechnoTrend card.

 

Support.zip attached.

 

Thanks

Ian

it's a problem of the technotrend card/driver. You will have to use devcon, which reinitializes the card, before DVBViewer starts / uses the card.

Thanks that fixed it.

 

For any one else these are the instructions that I found in an earlier post

 

Download devcon. Copy the devcon.exe file to for instance C:\Windows\System32 where windows finds it.

Activate command prompt. Find your card id:

 

C:\ devcon find *pci*

 

Somewhere in the listing you will see your Technotrend tuner.

My tuner id is AVSTREAM\PTDVB_SS. In the listing after the id there is a string which is not needed.

 

Make a bat file (for instance restart.bat) to DVBViewer folder containing:

 

devcon restart AVSTREAM\PTDVB_SS

 

Use the device id you saw in the listing earlier.

 

In the DVB task schedules (scheduler.exe) settings2 tab add restart.bat in the Start before box.

Time to wait in Millisec need to be adjusted so that the card is restarted before DVBViewer need it.

My delay is 1500 msec.

One other question is there a way of running this if just starting DVBViewer up manually.

 

The example above works great for the scheduler, but it would be good if it could run something automatically when manually starting the application. I have created a shortcut the the bat file I created but it would be nice to only click once especially as I have created a lot of shortcut using the shortcutter.exe program

I don't think so... but it needs to be run only right after wake up, that's enough. So let tasksheduler do that or maybe some other tool, like hibernate trigger (not sure if it can do it).

I regularly use "Hibernate Trigger" to restart DVBViewer playing the Internet Radio I listen to everyday after the Hibernation, and I find it very stright and usefull...

 

For who may wants give it a try, this is the download page

I think the most simple thing would be to create a new command file (e.g. StartDVBViewer.cmd) where you first call the previously created restart.bat and as second step start the viewer. The content could be:

 

@echo off

call restart.bat

DVBViewer.exe

 

For this example I assume that all files are in the same folder as DVBViewer.exe. Finally you create a shortcut to the new command file to your desktop.
