Synopsis::
I'm using Media Portal 0.2.0.0 and a TwinhanDTV DVB-C Mantis 2033 card. I got MP to detect it by adding an xml definition for it in CaptureCardDefinitions.xml as adviced in the thread:
http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?t=15346

However, when I try to scan for channels in the setup wizard, nothing is found. I get the following in error.log:

9.7.2006 17:43:27 Exception   :System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast COM object of type 'StreamBufferSink' to interface type 'DirectShowLib.SBE.IStreamBufferSink3'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{974723F2-887A-4452-9366-2CFF3057BC8F}' failed due to the following error: Har inte implementerats (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

.......
The "no tuner stat interfaces" error is repeated MANY times

I ignore this and proceed. Later when I choose edit in MP Setup -> Television -> Capture Cards I get the error message "Unable to create graph for this device!" twice. And in error.log:

I have tried BDA drivers 1.0.1.5, 1.0.1.9 and 1.0.2.3 without any luck. The success stories I read about on this forum seems to include the 1.0.1.6 version. Unfortunately I can not find this anywhere to be able to try it.

Twinhan's own program does work. There was a strange thing though. The version on the CD, version 2.62, did not work. It didn't find any channels. But when upgrading to 2.63 it started to work. Both comes bundled with BDA version 1.0.1.5 ....

Is there anyone else here who has had this problem and solved it?

Any help appreciated

EDIT: I'm UNABLE to find the autotune feature in the setup program (after the setup wizard is completed). I guess this has to do with the graph error?

The card definition is not correct in V 0.2.0.0

Open : CaptureCardDefinitions.xml
And add:

<capturecard commercialname="Twinhan DVB-C (VP-2033)" capturename="DTV-DVB Mantis Virtual BDA Receiver" devid="ven_1822&amp;dev_4e35&amp;subsys_00081822&amp;rev_01">
<capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="true"/>
<tv>
<interface cat="tunerdevice" video="2" audio="3" mpeg2="1" sectionsandtables="5"/>
<filters>
<filter cat="networkprovider" name="Microsoft DVBC Network Provider" checkdevice="false"/>
<filter cat="tunerdevice" name="DTV-DVB Mantis DVBC BDA Receiver" checkdevice="true"/>
<filter cat="capture" name="DTV-DVB Mantis Virtual BDA Receiver" checkdevice="true"/>
</filters>
<connections>
<connection sourcefilter="networkprovider" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="tunerdevice" sinkpin="0"/>
</connections>
</tv>
</capturecard>

There is still a problem with decrypting channels dough.
I'm trying to solve that in the code myself.

Shouldn't MP be able to detect at least the none encrypted channels? In my case MP doesn't find any channels at all. While Twinhan's own program do find them.

Non decrypted channels should work fine, you should even be able to add the encrypted channels to the channel list, but you just can't view them

The graph error means that MP does not properly detect the card en can't connect with it.
To fix the problem that the graph can't be built, you should edit the card definitions.
After that you can scan for channels

Time to install SP2 as per the system requirements.

Kind regards,

Oh. How careless of me not to do that. :wink:
I installed SP2 and now it works flawlessly!

Thank you very much!
