Ugh. TV Wonder 200 giving me fits.

Hey folks

First off I'd like to say that MediaPortal looks awesome and I can't wait to use it! But I'm having a little trouble getting up and running. Can anyone help a graphedit n00b?

I've got an ATI TV Wonder 200 that works perfectly in the ATI Multimedia Center, but I can't get it to work with MediaPortal. I looked at the instructions for adding support for an unsupported card and tried to extrapolate how to build a graph for my analogue tuner from the instructions for doing so with a digital card, but I couldn't make sense of it. Even the post telling what needed to be sent in to get support added in the next release eluded me as I couldn't figure out what all the filters were for my card.

I tried connecting to a remote graph so that I could just yoink the right filters from the graph running in the ATI Multimedia Center and work from that, but the ATI software apparently doesn't share its info.

Do I just go into graphedit and play around with either the TV Tuner or Video Capture filters and go from there to audio and video renderers and try to work my way to the mpeg2 demultiplexer mentioned in the tutorial?

I'm just not really sure where to begin. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? It would be much appreciated

Thanks,

Psy
