Hauppage WinTV PVR USB 2 not recognized

zzz345zzz · 2006-09-13, 02:54

I'm trying to get MediaPortal set up so it will run the Hauppage WinTV PVR USB 2, but MP does not recognize it. I can get video through WinTV 2000 (the bundled software) but not MP. I tried going into setup, televison, capture cards and hit add, but still nothing. I got the line below from the log:

9/12/2006 6:45:01 PM device:Hauppauge WinTV PVR2 USB2 Encoder id:@device:pnp:\\?\usb#vid_2040&pid_2400#2401-00-0083b7e5#{65e8773d-8f56-11d0-a3b9-00a0c9223196}\capture

Hi,

Please download the attached CaptureCardDefinitions.xml and copy that into the directory where you installed MediaPortal (overwriting/backupping the existing one). Please report back if it works (or not).

Kind regards,
Michel

I have the pvr usb2 (non mce) and it did the same thing, even with the new definitions file:

9/13/2006 4:33:44 PM device:Hauppauge WinTV PVR2 USB2 Encoder id:@device:pnp:\\?\usb#vid_2040&pid_2900#7&2f106e0 4&0&5#{65e8773d-8f56-11d0-a3b9-00a0c9223196}\capture

the wintv applications from Hauppauge work ok, but it is not detected by MP. I am using xp pro sp2.

Worked for me. Thanks!

@chriscjs:

The entry in the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml looks ok to me for your card (so it should have been detected).

Kind regards,
Michel

The entry is not okay as there's a subtle difference. The card says it's PVR2, not PVR. I spent hours before finally spottng this and got MP to recognize my card. (Heck, beeing completely new to MP I practically spent hours before finding that CaptureCardDefinitions.xml was the place to look :-)

The new capture card definitions, work for my WinTV PVR USB2, so thanks!

I wonder why Hauppauge did this? I took this as them trying to stick you with using their own software. I am happy that i have found out the reason why when I updated my drivers, it wold lock out 3rd party apps from acessing the card. When you install the latest drivers, it does change to PVR2 USB2 from PVR USB2.

Al_Capone · 2006-10-19, 22:04

what driver-version do you use?

this new definition file works with 23178 (beta) and 24023 , but it does NOT work with latest: 24117

you can find the latest drivers here: ftp://ftp.shspvr.com/download/wintv-pvr2_usb/base_cd/

Hello,
I just bought the PVR USB MCE and I was able to get it recognize by MP after changing the file to PVR2. However, I can still not see any thing on my screen. I always get a black screen. I'm able to scan the channels, the card found all of them but still nothing on the screen. I image that I have a MPEG decoder problem. How all of you that have this PVR USB card were able to make it work and see something else than a black box?
Thank you.
