Updated AIW card support - Page 3

SciDoctor · 2006-10-08, 10:42

OK odd.

What happens when you run autotune for your country ?

What happen if you manualy add channels ?

Have you tried SVHS or COMPOSITE input ? (just add in the TV channels overview in config and assign to your AIW)

Do the MP log files show any errors?

Run MP and turn on the TV , at this point from your info you just get static.
Run graphedit and choose 'connect to remote graph', this will give you a selection of active graphs .
Choose a graph (AIW); is the view of the graph complete, are there any breaks or unconnected filters ?

Save this graph.

Close graphedtit and then MP.

Run graphedit and open the saved graph.

You can now manipulate this graph without MP causing interatcion problems.

Post a pic of the graph on the forum.

When I autotune, none of the channels show up (all static).

I manually assigned the channels to the card and I still have static.

I do not see anything in the MP log

Here is the graph when MP is running with the TV on.

Everything looks fine. It should work !

You should give each card a different priority.

A higher priority for your first preferenced card.

As for the AIW ,for testing, give it the highest priority in the config.Also ensure you have the best analog aerial feed to its tuner .

Run MP and turn on the TV which should give priority to the AIW .

Now open graphedit and 'conect to remote graph' ; you want a complete graph with all output filters and codecs. Save this graph.

Close graphedit and MP.

Now you can open graphedit and open the graph you just saved .

You can right click filters and adjust settings to tune the TV channels selection and run the graph to view its output.

Give this a go and see what results you get.

How does MP know to use this new graph once I edit it?

SciDoctor · 2006-10-08, 20:25

The actual graph is correct and doesn't need editing.

What you are doing is running the graph without MP, this allows you to manualy adjust filter settings and view the actual results in a vrm9 window.

This is a pure test of the running graph.

pindersk · 2006-10-08, 20:25

Did what you suggested with no change. Should the modified graph be placed somewhere for MP to use?

pindersk · 2006-10-08, 20:30

OK, this is what the graph looks like when I open it after saving with MP running

Oops, I take that back. What is what it looks like when I have 2 of the same files open in graphedit. Please ignore the image.

pindersk · 2006-10-08, 20:49

I am not exactly sure what I am suppose to do in graphedit. I open the file I saved, checked the settings on the filters it would allow me to see. There is a play button at the top which I pressed and nothing happened. Sorry, but I am new to this.

Use this graph you posted earlier in graphedit.Do not have MP running.

Right click and 'render' the audio and video output pins of the MPEG demultiplexer to complete the graph.

Now play the graph. A window should appear with static(idealy a tv channel pic should be displayed) and sound.

Right click ATI Tv Tuner and change the tuning settings.
