Asus my cinema P-7131 help (1 Viewer)

[Gregman]

Hello!

I've got a big problem and since I'm new to this scene, I would really appreciate it if you helped me out a little.
I have a Asus my cinema P-7131 tv-tuner (analog) , and I just can't get it to work with Mediaportal.
I've installed a lot of new drivers and updates, but still no luck.

  <capturecard commercialname="ASUSTek Silicon BDA Video Capture" capturename="713x BDA Analog Capture" devid="ven_1131&amp;dev_7133&amp;subsys_48451043&amp;rev_f0">
    <capabilities tv="true" radio="true" mpeg2="true" mce="true" sw="false" bda="false"></capabilities>
    <tv>

        <connection sourcefilter="tvtuner" sourcepin="1" sinkfilter="tvaudio" sinkpin="0"></connection>
        <connection sourcefilter="tvaudio" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="crossbar" sinkpin="%audiotuner%"></connection>

        <connection sourcefilter="capture" sourcepin="1" sinkfilter="audencoder" sinkpin="0"></connection>
      </connections>
    </tv>
  </capturecard>

The moniker is right.
I've put in the new name the latest driver gave the card in the devicemanager.
I've tried everything, but I just do not have enough knowledge about this to determine where I mess up.

Please check the screen, It's a working graph in grapheditor [ both audio and video work]

I would really appreciate if someone could help me out.

 

[Gregman]

Ohw yeah, I have the latest version of Mediaportal.

Maybe someone could upload the .xml definitions file? [ with the correct settings]
Perhaps I have messed even that up.( a lot of copy and pasting makes it worse)

Another "SW-card does not work"

It's been a long time since i fiddled with Software encoding cards, but I remember that I had to install PowerCinema to get it to work, due to SW-encoders.

It seems that misterd might be on the verge of saving the day for you SW-card user: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/planning_improvements_analog_cards-t33630.html

Sorry that I could not be of more help.

 

[Gregman]

Still thank you very much for your quick reply,

and I have PowerCinema 5 Installed , but it is much to slow and is less advanced than mediaportal.

Hi gregman,
there are some errors in your definitions. The main problem is that the software encoder is missing.
Here is an updated version:

  <capturecard commercialname="ASUSTek Silicon BDA Video Capture" capturename="713x BDA Analog Capture" devid="ven_1131&amp;dev_7133&amp;subsys_48451043&amp;rev_f0">

      </filters>
      <connections>
        <connection sourcefilter="tvtuner" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="crossbar" sinkpin="%tvtuner%"></connection>
        <connection sourcefilter="tvtuner" sourcepin="1" sinkfilter="tvaudio" sinkpin="0"></connection>
        <connection sourcefilter="tvaudio" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="crossbar" sinkpin="%audiotuner%"></connection>
        <connection sourcefilter="crossbar" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture" sinkpin="0"></connection>
        <connection sourcefilter="crossbar" sourcepin="1" sinkfilter="capture" sinkpin="1"></connection>
        <connection sourcefilter="capture" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="videncoder" sinkpin="0"></connection>
        <connection sourcefilter="capture" sourcepin="2" sinkfilter="audencoder" sinkpin="0"></connection>
        <connection sourcefilter="videncoder" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="mux" sinkpin="0"></connection>
        <connection sourcefilter="audencoder" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="mux" sinkpin="1"></connection>
      </connections>
    </tv>
  </capturecard>

Here is also a link to the wiki, where the supported encoders are list: http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/UserGuides/SW-Cards_setup
If you have a different encoder than you have to replace %videncoer, %audencoder and/or %mpegmux.
The encoder is missing in your picture, because it is only needed to get timeshifting and recording working in MP/TvServer.

Hi, MisterD

Thank you very much for this, I will test this out as soon as possible.
However the graph worked for me, so I think its kind of strange (and I was in doubt of these encoders, wheter they should be included or not)

I wil test this out,

Thanks for your reply

My log file

 

[misterd]

There are no informations in the log file. You have to the configuration tool, try to add the card and than post the configuration.log here.

whoops, again

It seems that your CaptureCardDefinitions.xml is corrupted.
The file must have the following layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<capturecards>
   <capturecard ....
   </capturecard>
   ....
   ....
   ....
   <capturecard ....
   </capturecard>
</capturecards>

You could also download the latest version from the svn: https://mediaportal.svn.sourceforge...l/MediaPortal.Base/CaptureCardDefinitions.xml
And add your own definitions before the last line.
