'I have tried the card with a standalone MP setup and it does work, so why the difference between MP standalone and MP tvserver?'


The difference is that with the standard MP there is an xml file with all the details of the filters needed to build the succesful graph for specific cards. It is also easy for the user to modify for success.

With TV server the graph build tries suitable filters that are listed within the server code, if the filters aren't there the graph build fails. It is not at all easy for the user to change this.

It is obvious from my ATI situation that the ATI encoder filters aren't included and specificaly with some tuners encoder filters include their own specific mpeg2mux filter which also aren't included.

Use graphedit to check what directshow filters your tuner uses, build a trial graph and see if it connects and works. the log will be produced in the TVserver log files for mpwriter.
