I am trying to get DabDig working with Digiguide and am getting some error messages.

I have changed the DABDIG.ini file so that

USE AverTV is set to 1

AVERTVDVBVIEWTASK=AVerTv.exe=AverTV.exe

1) Could not find C:\Windows\AverDVBT.ini" - not sure where this is supposed to come from.

2)Could not find file \schdata.dat - the AvertV system.ini file contains a line "SCHEDULE_FILE=$APPPATH$schedule\"

3) No scheduling slots available in AverTV DVB

Any suggestions on what I need to change much appreciated.

Thanks

Andy

Not that I know of - but the "BDA" mechanism that I mentioned above might be the easiest.

If that worked - then you could swap the native software for something like WebScheduler and then have DABDig drive that instead.

Has anyone got this working with AverTV 6?

Paul Webster

OK - so not so much troubleshooting ... just a rewrite needed.

They have completely changed the way that things work.

Is your Avermedia application version 6.0.1.32 (or similar) (drivers 5.3.7.0)

If so - then I now have that version of their software and I'll try to set-up something similar here (without the hardware) and try to get it working.

For example - I will have to work out what the relationship is between the channels and the "Collector" directory.

An extra thought ... I saw a reference to "BDA" in your dump above. Implies an XP Media Center PC. If so - then there are other "BDA" enabled applications that might work with your card/drivers .. which can already be driven by DABDig.

Paul -thanks for the quick response.

I have put in the averdvbt.ini and get a different error message. From the log file

26/08/2005 22:57:59 - 2.54b09 - Could not find fileC:\Program Files\AVerTV DVB-T USB2.0\Schdata.dat

26/08/2005 22:58:09 - 2.54b09 - No scheduling slots left in AVerTV DVB

The version of Avertv I am using has the scheduling information stored in a folder called schedule which contains 2 XML files. I have added a programme manually and the information for it appears in file "owner". Additional scheduled programmes have a similar XML format entry starting with the <schedule id..... tag

1) File "Schedule" just contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<schedules />

2) File "Owner" contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

- <schedules>

- <schedule id="SI_21342520050806">

Hopes this helpsyou trouble shhot the problem.

If you want to experiment to see if the schdata.dat format is the same then ... you could emulate the file that DABDig is looking for.

Before trying this out ... do make a backup of your schdata.dat

So - if you create a file called

averdvt.ini

in your Windows directory and then put the following content

[APP_PATH]

Path=C:\Program Files\AVerTV DVB-T

(making sure that the path is the right one for your installation.

Looks like something has changed with their software since I added support.

Previously ... that file was in the Windows directory and it contained all sorts of things including the specification of the location of the installation of the AverDVB software.

Maybe they have changed the file name and location. Can you send me the system.ini file that you referred to below and also say where you found it?

(then hopefully I can adapt my code to use that instead)

It is also possible that they have changed their file format for the schedule data - so can you send me your schdata.dat file after using their GUI to schedule something.

Maybe they have changed things since I last looked at this one.

I'll have a dig around and post a few things to look at/for.
