I'm sorrry, but I did not really code anything in the blaster section. Only submitted a patch and perhaps some code cleanups, but no real coding. So I can't really help. MisterD

After a long time having no time to work on this plugin I finally found some time the last days. I updated the plugin to work with 1.2.x. I fixed also some small bugs and ported back the changes which were made in the OnlineVideo plugins to my ExternalOSD library version in this plugin. Just...

This code was only needed to tell MP how it should build the so called graph. The graph is required for controlling the card. With the integration of TvServer this is no longer needed, since this version of MP is able to detect the graph automatically. According to your logs and since channels...

To be honest, I have no clue why it doesn't work. MP tunes the "analog" card to channel 210, but uses the same frequency as for the previous channel. Maybe you have to define manually the frequency that has to be used in this case, but I don't know which values you have to use here. In the last...

Hi Bill, you should check the assignment of your channels. In your log all channels are mapped to the video source "Tuner", but channel 170 is mapped to the video source "YRYBYInput1". The tuning itself is performed, but mostly to the wrong video source. MisterD

The HDPVR provides a ts stream with a fix PMT pid. So in general you don't need it, but the code was adopted from the DVB part and than hacked to fit the best. Unfortunately I was never able to make it more compliant with the DVB implemenation. Community preferred the current solution as I have...

Next try :D If this won't work we have to port all latest changes of the PMT handling from the DVB cards to HDPVR as well, but still keep the hacks for HDPVR. This will take some time. MisterD

It depends on how you would integrate it :D The right solution is very difficult. I had to learn this, while I tried to implement it. This would mean that we won't have hard coded lists and use the categories of Directshow filters instead. It is absolutely worth to add it, but I would like to...

Combined software encoder filters are not supported by TvServer in general. Only combined hardware encoders are supported but this is handled completely different than software encoders. MisterD edit: Forgot to mention that the additional mux is required in order to have a better compatibility...

Please try the attached patch. The binary is compiled with revision 27035. MisterD

Just to clarify some things. AFAIK all analog tuners can handle the CC subtitles. They all have a VBI output pin on their capture devices (or atleast they should have). Here a normal application can grab the VBI data and extract with Line21 decoder the CC subtitles. Also those capture devices...

I ahve updated this page in the wiki: TS Dumps - MediaPortal Wiki MisterD

Perhaps your hardware encoder just encodes the CC to the video stream? But this behavior is not guaranteed for all analog cards and especially encoders. So you should say that with the patch it can work but it is not guaranteed and if it is not working than mostly you have to adjust the graph...

MP doesn't support CC for analog TV as the CC data is not part of the timeshift files or recordings. The reason is simply that the VBI data is not part of the ts. There are two ways to get those information into the files: 1. You have to use an MPEG-2 video encoder which supports the encoding of...

As analog cards don't produce raw transport stream it would make no sense to dump them as a recording or timeshifting would be the same. I added this information to the WIKI. MisterD
