Have you used any of the CVS updates to RC2?

The problem I was having is an error message "Unable to build graph" and I wouldn't be able to add my TV tuners.

What I had to do was uninstall RC3, reinstall RC2, configure, then install the latest RC2 CVS build, configure, uninstall RC2, and finally reinstall RC3.

It's a long way to do it, but I got it working this way.

Ditto, cannot find capture card. One thing I noticed is that when I installed mediaportal up to RC2 the card was always initially detected as a S/W encoding card, and I had to choose H/W from a drop down list. Maybe the removal of software encoding support prevents the initial detection?

Which Twinhan BDA driver version is proven to work with which MP version?

I also tried - BDA V1.2.1.9 with MP 1.3 and get "Unable to build graph" message.

jawbroken · 2006-03-19, 07:43

Have you tried using the CaptureCardDefinition.xml file from your previously working MediaPortal folder?

Koschel · 2006-03-19, 08:37

I suggest using BDA 1.2.3.5WHQL for RC3 and Twinhan DVB-S

Hi!

I also get the "Unable to create graph..." eroor. Using the TV Card Model: Hauppauge PVR 250. Tried the old CaptureCardDefinition.xml but got the same error.

Howz about someone posting a Mediportal.log.
Use http://mp.pastebin.com and paste the full URL in here...

Recommended Twinhan BDA driver is 1.2.3.5 (WHQL) or better.

Any news? What to do?

I have the some problem now. What I did:

I removed MP via control panel / add/remove programms.
(I was running RC2 with some of the latest CVS.. maybe 10 days old)

Then installed RC3, went into capture card setup.

"Unable to create graph for this device"

BTW: I have a PVR 150.
