That seems to give the same results, ie the corrupt numbers for signal and quality, and no BER or S/N
Unless I wasn't using it right. Ie I just replaced the 2 files in the TSREADER directory, but still used the same source file.

I will try and give it a shot as the source when I get home. I know my 6925 is ID-0 on the computer. I'll post snaps as well since I have always liked that crazyscan provides that level of information, but that the tsr module for the TBS didn't.

Ok, I'm trying to access the source module (put the StreamReader.dll in the tsreader sources folder), but it doesn't list as an available option. Is this only available via command line?

The source module that goes in the sources folder is TSReader_StreamReaderEx.dll .
StreamReader.dll and the ini go in the main tsreader directory.
At least that's the way it worked for me.

It sounds like you don't have the source file. The file CrazyCat linked to in this thread is just the streamreader, you also need the source file to put in the sources folder. You can get it here:

??????
Is there any reason why use of the streamreader proxy source would kill functionality of the direct 6925 source ????
I went to use the direct source this morning, and it doesn't work for some reason.
TSREADER comes up with the source, but it won't tune on any transponder.
Other sources work OK, and the 6925 works via Crazyscan. It also still works via the streamreader source.
I wonder if this is related to the conflict mentioned above in message #2, although that conflict seemed to say that the source wouldn't load. In my case, the source loads, but when I select a transponder and click on it, it just blinks and does nothing.
Another possibility.... I still have the streamreader source in TSREADER that crazycat said to try on my TeVii. Perhaps I should switch back to the regular one and try.
Very strange.

Same thing here, it will load but won't tune, just blinks. The same thing happens with the direct source for the 8922 card. I haven't bothered to try figuring it out but am pretty sure its related to CrazyCat's source, the direct source works fine until I load CrazyCat's source then switch back.

Thanks. Good to know it's not just me. I can't remember, but something similar happened with the original Tsreader source, before the current one came out. I think you said above that re-installing Tsreader fixed the problem? I'm tempted to do that, then compare the registry entries to see if anything is different. Although I tried that with the problem with the Crazyscan--> TCP source messing up scheduled recordings, and never did find anything that changed in the registry, so it's really confusing relative to what causes these things.
I tried removing the streamreader files and source, but that didn't help.
An even stranger thing has been happening, that is purely a TSREADER issue, and that is, that when new versions of TSREADER would come out, I used to keep my old version of TSREADER in another directory. But it seems like with current versions of TSREADER, whether I put the new TSREADER in a new directory or copy the old TSREADER to a new directory, when I install the new one, it seems to do a search and destroy of all the TSREADER files that I had in the old version, so it wipes out the old version so I can't switch back Very weird. I've made multiple copies, and now have nearly empty directories where TSREADER has deleted all the files except for ones I've created. I think the last time I installed TSREADER, I copied the entire directory over to another computer, but now I can't find that directory.
EDIT: After a lot of head scratching, I finally got the batch file to do automatic recording working using the streamreader source. At first it wasn't working, but I finally realized I was using the wrong FEC for the channel I was trying to record. Seem to have lost the program I was working on to generate the batch files, but the important thing is the batch file, as I can create that manually, and just use Windows scheduler to run it.
This will be real handy.

WEll, I un-installed and re-installed TSReader but still the TBS direct sources won't work for the 6925 or 8922. Something I have noticed is if you look closely when you click tune and get the "blink" it is really a screen flashing by. I've tried pausing to catch it so I can see what it says but its just too fast. I've had similar experiences as you when installing copies of TSR to non default directories, Maybe Rod has done this intentionally although I don't really know why he would..maybe something to do with the licensing...who knows.

Strange, with TBS5980 work well. With my proxy source, and 'native' 5980 source.

I've had similar experiences as you when installing copies of TSR to non default directories, Maybe Rod has done this intentionally although I don't really know why he would..maybe something to do with the licensing...who knows. I have multiple instances of tsreader installed on one computer so I can do testing and not "corrupt" working installs, and I don't seem to have any problems with that setup. I can launch 2-3 different instances of tsreader using different source modules and record multiple different tps, etc.
And thanks for the link reference to the tsr source module for streamreader, that's what I was missing. I just tried to "add" TSReader_" to the beginning of the .dll which I knew wouldn't work, and of course didn't lol
**EDIT** I should add that each 'instance' I install is in the %program files%/CoolSTF (or whatever) and then the subdirectory is tsreader1, tsreader2, etc. Maybe they "have" to be in the CoolSTF dir to work?

I've had the same thing happen but usually just keep the newest version anyway so no problem really.

That's what I'm doing too, and it has worked in the past, and it still works with a couple older versions of TSREADER, which will stay intact, and run. However, on trying to save copies of some of the newer PRERELEASE: TSReader 2.8.47c and maybe 47b, it seems to destroy my old copys, while leaving copies of the .47a .
So I'm curious what versions you have there.
EDIT: In reading Starman's response, now I'm not sure if you're referring to multiple instances or multiple copies of TSREADER????
Re instances, yes, I can do multiple instances, as long as the different instances are not trying to tune the same card. But what I'm talking about is having different versions of TSREADER installed in different sub-directories, either all in the cool.stf directory, or it has worked in the past when in other directories too. It is just weird, how I'll have a backup directory with the complete TSREADER program, and when I install TSREADEr in another directory, it just strips my backup directory of all the TSREADER files.

Well, I just did it my way, ie instead of re-installing TSREADER, I went into the registry, and deleted the entire TSREADER key, ie
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\COOL.STF\TSReader
I left the contents of the TSREADER directory intact.
When I re-ran TSREADER, NOW, the regular 6925 direct source works again.
I have looked all through the registry entries, and don't see any entry that would seem to be involved, but replacing the registry sure brought it back to life.
I haven't tried the proxy source again, but I assume it will knock out the direct source, which will be OK as that's much better if it will allow me to schedule recordings.
Now, I have to go back and re-enter all my settings, which will take me a while.
