MP cannot find hauppauge pvr2 ubs2 tv card (1 Viewer)

[rbsilver]

MediaPortal does not recognize the Hauppage PVR2 USB2 TV card. I made the correction in the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml file for Hauppauge WinTV PVR2 USB2. I tried to load MCE drivers for the Hauppauge PVR USB2 card but was not able to do this (XP Professional OS). There must be some way that MediaPortal recognizes the WinTV PVR2USB2 hardware with its current updated drivers. Please advise.

Hi,

I got the same tv card: the Hauppauge PVR USB2
I never had any problems with the installation of this card. It works perfect !

I use the normal xp drivers with XP pro.

 

[rbsilver]

I still cannot get MediaPortal to see the Hauppauge TV card. Can you tell me how the card is listed under device manager and could you cut and paste the section for the card from the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml file?
Thanks,
R B Silver

My TV-Tuner card Hauppauge PVR USB2 is not detected either. Only the capture support on the graphics card is detected as ATI AIW 9600 Cards or later (which is I guess correct although it doesn't have a TV-tuner).

Screenshot from device manager (sorry it's in Swedish).

Here's some additional info:
The Hauppauge PVR USB2 is not detected during installation. When I later run the MediaPortal - Setup application and go to Television - Capture cards, it only lists the ATI Rage Theater Video Capture (ATI AIW 9600 Cards or later).

I have then tried deleting that Capture card and then clicking Add. I then get two error messages in sequence. Both stating "Could not create graph." Then I get the "Edit properties of your TV card" dialog. It only has the ATI card again in the drop-down. At this stage I look in the logs and find the following:

Edit:

So I wanted to find out if it was a problem with the AIW detection that stopped the Hauppauge tuner from being detected. I disabled the two ATI devices under Sound-, video- and game-devices in Windows Device manager.



Then I started up MediaPortal - Setup again. When I try to add another Capture Card it pops up:
No video capture card(s) were found, you won't be able to configure a capture card.
And then of course no Capture Card is identified.

I take this to mean that:
1. The capture device on the ATI 1900XT can't be properly identified. (Not that I care personally though.)
2. The Hauppauge PVR USB2 that I have cannot be properly identified.

Note: the Hauppauge card works fine in WinTV2000. I do of course close WinTV2000 before opening any MediaPortal application or setup. I do not have the Hauppauge Remote control program installed.

Additonally I'm running a Swedish version of Win XP Pro SP2

Mine is working fine. Some month ago there was a similar problem and it turned out that there was a second deviant of the tv card (which then was added to capturecard...xml.

So you might need to follow instructions for graph-edit, compare it to capturecard definitions and send it to dman to get it in.
(or wait for the new tv-engine )

Are you using the latest Hauppauge driver (see above for version) and the latest Hauppauge middle ware (24062)?

 

[SweMart]

Hi,

I have the same card(pid_2900), I sent the template to dman today - hope it will be in the next stable patch.

You can get the card working with the MCE drivers in XP Pro but you need to make sure that you use the 2900 drivers in the folder "WinTV-PVR-USB2_29xxx_2.2.73.23298 (WHQL)".

I have stability problems with the MCE drivers in XP Pro so that's why I have switched to the proper XP Pro/Home drivers.

If you want to get it working asap so should insert the following into CaptureCardDefinitions.xml:

 <capturecard commercialname="Hauppauge PVR2 USB2" capturename="Hauppauge WinTV PVR2 USB2 Encoder" devid="vid_2040&amp;pid_2900">
