Hi guys, just got this avermedia m779 hybrid pcie card in my new dell computer and i'm really struggling to get it work with mediaportal.

Here is a link to my graphedit for this card:



And here is what i've added to the capturecarddefinitions.xml file:

<capturecard commercialname="M779 PCIe BDA DVB-T Tuner 2" capturename="M779 PCIe Digital Video Capture 2" devid="ven_18c3&amp;dev_0720&amp;subsys_032e1461&amp;rev_00&amp;tuner">
<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="M779 PCIe BDA DVB-T Tuner 2" checkdevice="true"/>
<filter cat="capture" name="M779 PCIe Digital Video Capture 2" 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>

Does anyone know if i'm doing something wrong here, as I think it should work with what i've done.

Cheers

anyone?

still having issues with this, can anyone help?

Your graph shows ffdshow and AC3 filters included (as well as MPV and MPA) - I suggest you uninstall ffdshow and AC3 (to get them out of the graph) and see if it works correctly then?

They only render the stream, I can't even get the configuration to see the tuner to allow me to scan for channels.

Can anyone help with this? Or what is the route I need to go through?

on your definitions u got as device id : devid="ven_18c3&amp;dev_0720&amp;subsys_032e1461&a mp;rev_00&amp;tuner">

shouldn' t it be:
devid="ven_18c3&amp;dev_0720&amp;subsys_032e1461&a mp;rev_00">

According to the guide:
"Write down or copy and paste the moniker into notepad starting from ven until you reach the end typically finishing in rev_xx. In this example the moniker would be ven_1131&dev_7134&subsys_03015168&rev_01 "

to be honest i've tried both ways and had no luck either way.
