Is this USB device currently supported?

I've read the graphedit thing but I'm a bit lost, sorry.

PTV-339 (ADSTech MiniDualTV USB) support

Just add these lines to your "CaptureCardDefinitions.xml" file and you should have the DVB-T Tuner detected :

<capturecard commercialname="ADSTech Mini DualTV" capturename="Mini DualTV USB, Digital Capture" devid="vid_06e1&amp;pid_a339">
<capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="true"/>
<tv>
<interface cat="capture" video="2" audio="3" mpeg2="1" sectionsandtables="2"/>
<filters>
<filter cat="networkprovider" name="Microsoft DVBT Network Provider" checkdevice="false"/>
<filter cat="tunerdevice" name="Mini DualTV USB, Digital TVTuner" checkdevice="true"/>
<filter cat="capture" name="Mini DualTV USB, Digital Capture" checkdevice="true"/>
</filters>
<connections>
<connection sourcefilter="networkprovider" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="tunerdevice" sinkpin="0"/>
<connection sourcefilter="tunerdevice" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture" sinkpin="0"/>
</connections>
</tv>
</capturecard>

It seems this device is now included by default in CaptureCardDefinitions.xml, although I can't get it to work either.

I can see 2 entries corresponding to the device in Setup > Television > Capture cards (one for Analogue reception, the other for digital). But when I try to edit the properties for either one, I get the "Unable to create graph for this device" error.

Did anyone manage to get that card working in mediaportal ?

    Post your MediaPortal.log file.
    I would suggest just adding the DVB tuner if you don't have a supported MPEG-2 software encoder insalled.

    Hello !

    I have tried removing the analog tuner, although I do have a software MPEG encoder (Intervideo's demo encoder). Yet I still get the "unable to create graph" dialog box for the remaining DVB-T tuner. It even appears twice whenever I try to add or edit the tuner.

    One thing I didn't mention earlier: I can't scan for channels. The setup program just dies when I try to use the autotune function on the analog tuner ("configuration.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close"). As for the digital tuner, its property window lacks the autotune tab so I can't even try.

    Here are several mediaportal logs:

    ----- 1) Trying to add both tuners and edit their properties.

    Error.log contains the following:

    Well, the log doesn't show any problems. I can see correctly tuned channels in the log. It seems to me that the tuner works fine. Can you copy the created ts file(located in your timeshift folder) somewhere else while in channel preview and try to play it in VLC or MPC-HC? PS: You can also try to make short record
