Can't find any channel on Belgian Cable

DranDane · 2008-04-29, 22:29

Short Summary:
I have an Asus My Cinema P7131-Hybrid card, with the correct drivers installed. The card works perfectly fine with K!TV. However with MP TV-server 1.0.0.0 RC1 I have the following problems:
1: When I try to search for channels it doesn't find any
2: When I add a channel manualy, map to to my TV card, when I start the preview it gives an error : "Preview failed:UnknownError".
Same problem with my Pinnacle PCTV Analog PCI.

EDIT -- RESOLVED by installing the softwares of Asus and Pinnacle. Drivers only don't work.

But i'have a new error after the scan. When i try to preview a channel i get this : Preview failed:NoVideoAudioDetected

About my second error: "NoAudioVideoDetected" message. Here are the logs.

- The View.MediaPortal.log is generated when I open MP, start the TV module and choose an analogi channel. I hear the sound during 10 seconds and I get an error message "No timeshifting | No signal detected" (I translate from french)

- The Preview.MPFileWriter.Log & Preview.tv.log are generated when I select a analog channel in the TV-server config tool and I press Preview button. I also hear the sound during 10 seconds and I get an error message "Preview Failed:NoAudioVideoDetected"

For information I removed my pinnacle card. Only my Asus card is in my HTPC. But to resolve my previous issue (the scanning issue) I must install the Pinnacle TVCenter Pro software. Without this software my Asus can't scan any channel in analog. I don't known why!

Could you help me ?

Hi,
You have to install a audio encoder because your tuner card it's software encoded(follow this howto in wiki)

Thanks for your help.

Just one last question. The wiki gives 3 links to 3 big softwares. Is it possible to install the audio encoder only or am I have to install the full softwares ?

ronilse · 2008-04-30, 23:36

Hi,
You need to install full software of those if your card wasn't shipped with a software encoders(both for Audio & Video).

In fact my card was shipped with PowerDVD6. I already installed PowerDVD6.

Hi,
PDVD it's a decoder & not encoder which you need for the card.

I have the same problem (i'm not gonna sum it all up because it's exactly the same)... but where can I find those encoders?
I installed PowercCinema (which was shipped with the card) and everything works fine within that program... in MP I get the error NoAudioVideoDetected when I try to preview a scanned channel.

thx in advance!
