unable to create a graph for my TV device

stevecuk · 2006-06-08, 14:22

I have just managed to get my Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T Stick USB working with MP on one machine, but now I am trying to get it working with a 2003 server (Basically because it is left on 24/7)

I get errors when trying to configure the TV card saying graphs are not there.

I wondered if it was a problem with 2003 server, or my Graphics card (Matrox MGA G400 MAX with latest drivers).

I have uploaded the latest mediaportal.log here

Hope someone can help.

Thanks
Steve

Steve,

your system fails to pass minimum requirments for Mediaportal.

1. You need a DX9 Graphics Card. The G400 is DX8 only
2. You should run WinXP SP2 and you have a 2003 Server

I'm afraid, you will not make MP run in this environment, even if you make it work with the errors you described.

regards,

Helmut

Helmut,

Thanks for the reply. I understand that it SHOULD be run on XP SP2. But at the moment I only have a 2003 server available to use on a regular basis (I know it seems strange, but don't ask).

I managed to get the Hauppauge software to work ok on the server so by general assumption thought it was worth a bit of time to see if I can get MP to work on it too.

Are you saying that even if I changed the graphics card to one with DX9 capabilities It still wouldn't work because of differences between XP and 2003 server?

Thanks.
Steve

Steve,

it could be that you're running into other problems.
Looking at your log, it looks like that something is not installed correctly. We're not finding some COM object needed.
Could be a driver issue. I don't have any knowledge about DVB cards, so i'm afraid i can't be of more help at the moment.
Try to re-install the drivers, maybe.

regards,

Helmut

I had the same problem with my 150MCE. For me, it has something to do with AVISynth. If I have it checked in FFDShow Video codec setup, I get this error every time. I don't even have to have FFDShow post-processing checked in Media Portal setup. I probably have something mis-typed in a script.

Thanks for the replies, I'll keep trying for now, see if anything else pops out to give me a clue, I'll certainly be changing the Graphics card to see if that helps.

Regards
Steve
