Try the above graph construct, the only possible problem is the commercial card name

To SciDoctor:

I tried to do what you told cl2yp71c to do.
Here are the output pins top to bottom if I did it right.

ATI Video Capture Output
ATI Video Preview Output
ATI Video VBI Output
ATI Audio Capture Output
ATI Video Decoder YUV Output
ATI Audio Decoder PCM Output

Thanks in advance for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From your info try the above graph (with any other changes that are specific to your filters name and devid)

You will see from your logs that the pins are incorrect between filters in the older graph (this would match another ATI filter release) PINS '4' and '5' from your filter are the desired ones.

If this still fails post your log again

I have just run into exactly the same problem as you.
You need to put the capture source pins as 6 and 7.

Now it works fine for me!

 

[jtstaley]

I may be way in over my head but here goes.

I kind of understand the code above. I downloaded graphedit and inserted all the filters. I made the pin connections and I'm pretty sure they are correct (I can drag movies onto graphedit and they will play although it seems to rearrange the graph).

The things I am struggling with are:

1. How do I apply the filter graph to my system so that MP will recognize my TV tuner? Is there a file I can edit with notepad to replace my current code with the code you posted?

2. Graphedit Help repeatedly states that it is for debugging and testing purposes only but many forum posts that I've read give the impression that it is being used to fix problems.

3. I don't seem to be able to access anything like <capturecard commercial name...> in Graphedit. I can find something

I'm sorry if these questions imply that I am miles away from being able to solve this problem.

SciDoctor, thanks for the speedy reply earlier. I think you've supplied the solution to the problem; I'm just not knowledgeable enough to apply it.

 

[SciDoctor]

C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal

Find the file 'CaptureCardDefinitions.xml' open this in NOTEPAD only.

Carefully look at this file and as you scroll down you will see a pattern to how the filter graphs are placed in the file .

Add your new graph to the file in the same way (copy/paste) and save the file.

You could delete all other graphs in the file that do not match your TV cards.

Keep a copy of this file safe in MY DOCUMENTS as when you update MP the file is overwritten.

Now when you run MP config the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml is scanned for matching graphs to your TV tuners devid .Choose the one that works.

If you get a failure then read the logs to see which 'pin' or filter is failing and modify your new filter graph to correct or instal the correct filters on your pc.

 

[SciDoctor]

I have just run into exactly the same problem as you.
You need to put the capture source pins as 6 and 7.

Now it works fine for me!

This is where graphedit comes in handy as you can check to see which filter you have and the correct pins to use .

The fiter even if named the same and from the same driver package will have different pin in/outs depending on the functions your TV card has.

THANK YOU SciDoctor!!!

I was hoping it was something simple like that.
I appreciate your help and time and I expect your answer will be of use to others too in the future!

 

[jtstaley]

ATI Wonder Elite now working

That fixed it.
Thanks SciDoctor!!!

 

[isoseeker]

thanks SciDoctor, your advice fixed my "cannot create graph" issue.
