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:
