DigitalWatch startup Options

[Guest_tevin_*]

Hi:
I am new user of the digitalwatch. I downloaded the latest version and compiled successfully in VC6, however, the program can't be showed. I am using the USB Digital TV sticker(sorry I forgot the modal, but I am sure that it followed the DirectX). Can anyone tell me how can I start my test, or what I should change the setting?
Many thanks

Take a look in the digitalwatch.log file which should get created in the same folder as digitalwatch.exe
See if you can see any error messages that might explain what's happening. There is a lot of stuff in there so if you need help zip it up and attach it here for us to take a look.

Thank you for replying.
The following is the digitalwatch.log created in my computer. Please help.
Many Thanks

PS: I am in Taiwan and I did set the frequency in Taiwan

It's been a long time since I've analysed these logs but it looks like there's a problem with your sound rendering.
Failed to set volume: -2147467263
That error code is E_NOTIMP meaning that the filter graph does not contain an audio renderer that supports setting volume.

This might seem like an obvious question, but do you have a sound card installed and working properly?

[Guest_tevin_*]

Thanks nate:
Yes, I did have a sound card installed and have been working properly.
You mean that it seems to be the problem of the sound card installed??
Do you think that should be the problem of setting of the xml file or the hardward installation.
Many thanks

by the way, when starting the digitalwatch program, I just pressed the selection of "Watch TV", is it right??

Yes. When you do this, if there are no channels scanned, it will show the TV Menu.
Just to make sure, try deleting the channels.xml file (from the BDA_DVB-T subfolder).

[Guest_tevin_*]

Just to make sure, try deleting the channels.xml file (from the BDA_DVB-T subfolder).

Deleting the channels.xml???
You mean that I have to delete the channels.xml file and try again??

[nate]

Sorry. I'm a bit confused. From your first post I assumed that the window wasn't showing. Then your log showed that the window was showing, but that after you selected Watch TV nothing happened so you were never able to scan for channels.

Can you try explaining what you've done again so I can understand exactly what we're dealing with.


As a test, if you don't want to delete your channels file, just rename it to something else, then load DW and try scanning a frequecy. When you scan the frequency, once it detects programs it should start automatically displaying the first program of the transmission.

[Guest_tevin_*]

sorry, I didn't make myself clear.
1, When program starts, It shows nothing but 2 menus: Watch TV and ...... (I forgot the other one)
2, No program play, I am sure that the frequency are correct.
3, The log I posted is created following the steps:

a, Clicked the DigitalWatch.exe
b, select the menu: Watch TV, but show nothing
c, pressed "x" to terminate the program

Thanks

Can you try the pre compiled binary with a fresh reload first to identify if it is a build issue.

Sorry for reply late.
I just cleared the the setup files of channel setting and let the program scanned again. It worked.
