Dear folks,

Although I read through quiete a lot of postings in this and the Medion / Aldi forum. And allthough my Capture Card is finally running with Power Cinema (bull-shit application), Media Portal does not recognise my TV-Card.

I've read that it might be a smaller change on the CaptureCardsDefinitions.xml file, which can be found out with graphedit. I did my best but I am not familiar with that tool.

This is what it shows for Medion applications:

So here we are ! Power Cinema is working, Media Portal doesn't.

Any ideas to help me out ?

Thanks all for your help in advance.

Hi alamo.de

Try the definition I posted here:
http://mp.pastebin.com/707328
These should work since the driver changed beginning from ver. 1.3.3.1.

dman_lfc
can you please add these definitions to the CaptureCardsDefinitions.xml


Thanks
Angotek

Hi Angotec,
thank for your reply but unfortunately these definitions do not work.
This is what I pasted intoCaptureCardDefinitions.xml:
==================================
<?xml version="1.0"?>
</capturecard>
<capturecard commercialname="MEDION SAA7134 DVB-T" capturename="713x BDA Digital Capture" devid="ven_1131&amp;dev_7134&amp;subsys_000316be&amp;rev_01">
<capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="true"/>
<tv>
<interface cat="capture" video="2" audio="3" mpeg2="1" sectionsandtables="5"/>
<filters>
<filter cat="networkprovider" name="Microsoft DVBT Network Provider" checkdevice="false"/>
<filter cat="tunerdevice" name="713x BDA DVBT Tuner" checkdevice="true"/>

What is wrong ?

Hi alamo.de

Backup your CaptureCardDefinitions.xml and replace it with this:
http://mp.pastebin.com/707382


I also have a Medion Hybrid card and use the driver 1.3.3.1 (g). You can download it here:
http://www1.medion.de/downloads/download.pl?id=3494&type=treiber&filename=tv_ph713x.exe&lang=de

Good luck

Hi Angotec.
It now recognises the card. I am scanning for channels.
I think it is solved now.
Thanks for your help....

Me again....

Within Power Cinema this card supports radio.
I assume it shall do the same in MP ?
Cause currently it does not find any radio stations.

to Angotek:
hi. could you please post a new pastebin-link
with the working CaptureCardDefinitions.xml.
the link is dead.
thanks

 

[Angotek]

hi

here is the new link for medion drivers 1.3.3.x:
http://pastebin.team-mediaportal.com/10271

But please be aware that only the dvb-t part is working...
The Analog part isn't working because of the driver

Hello All,

I also have a Medion TV Card with Philips chipset but I use the Analog cable input. Does that mean I can not use MediaPortal ?
I have tried reading most posts related to that TV card but am not sure what the status is right now
What do you mean 'because of the driver' ?

Thanks in advance !
