bgt 3600 win 2k8 server r2 setup help (1 Viewer)

[cypher007]

im having trouble getting media portal to work with win2k8 server r2. the bgt 3600 works fine with win7 x64. i installed the same divers into win2k8, but media portal didnt see the card or a tv server. so i installed a few BDA packages i found on here and reinstalled media portal and it could see the card, but the freeview was stopping and starting and the HD channels had no sound.

my HTPC:

Windows Server 2008 R2
i3 2100T 2.5ghtz
4gb 1333ghz ddr3
Gigabyte H67 motherboard
2x Samsung F4 eco green 2tb HDD
Antec earth watts 380W PSU
Pioneer BDR 205
BGT 3600

Hi and welcome cypher007

You'll need to use the DivX AAC codec for Freeview HD audio to work. Download it for free from -->here<-- top right-hand corner). See how things go after you've sorted that out. Keep in mind that we don't officially support the Windows server operating systems.

ive installed klite mega codec pack, i thought that would fix it?

 

[mm1352000]

Nope, the audio in the UK requires specific codecs (I'm not just saying this to have you on ). You can read more about other people's experience -->here<--.

ok great ill try it tonight. on another issue, what could be causing the picture stuttering?

 

[mm1352000]

Possibly the audio codec issue actually, which is why I suggested try that first. If you still have a problem it could be the video codec, or maybe GPU not able to cope with decoding the HD video. First things first though...

[cypher007]

tried the dix codec, same result.

 

[mm1352000]

So audio now works but you still have the same video issues?

mm

 

[cypher007]

no.

before codec pack SD and HD stop start video, no audio on HD.

after codec pack SD and HD video seems smoother, though i was watching F1 previously so maybe it was there feed not the tuner. still no audio on HD.

Hi again

I assume you actually updated MediaPortal configuration after installing the codec pack?
Either way, I've seen your other thread. I'll check out the logs that you post there and if I see anything wrong I'll let you know.
