Another progress update...
I've been able to grab channel names and numbers from the Prime.
I need to do some code consolidation to allow that information to be grabbed when we scan.
The good news is that a full scan should not take more than 15 seconds or so - no need to scan channels 3..1000 as I'm currently doing.
Progress continues nicely.

mm, for the UPnP support you might check our MP2 library that we use internally. This could be a smart move at this point in our developments...

I already have.
(https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...t-for-mediaportal-1.112585/page-3#post-918726)
It is *significantly* more work to take the UPnP option, even with UPnP and RTP code already available. Implementing the DRI is not trivial. In the long run it *may* be the right solution but right now my focus is on providing a reasonable hardware-independent solution for MP1 with the least possible effort.
Hey all,
I am interested in helping out if you still need it. I have a Ceton Infinitv 4 USB tuner, and have been struggling constantly with mythTV. I would love to see this project succeed. If you still need testers let me know and ill get a machine built right away.

Hello and welcome allen00se
Absolutely, jump on in if you have some time on your hands.
From my perspective, the more people testing, the better.
Also, I think lehighbri's InfiniTV is the PCIe version, so you would be the first person that I know of to test with the USB version.
Disclaimer: I don't want to set you up only to disappoint you, so please do keep in mind that the tuners won't be really usable at the moment. Hopefully that will change in the near future but for now the support is definitely not "production-ready".
mm
PS: for those of you who are wondering, I didn't make my goal to have channel name/number grabbing working by the end of the weekend. However progress was still pretty good - I just over-estimated how much I could get done. I'll provide another update as soon as I have something testable.

No worries about immediate functionality, currently mythtv gives me about 5-10 minutes of livetv before I have to retune the channel and it takes 20s to retune, so its not like ill be missing out on alot. So at this point what do you really need me to do? Are the instructions on the first post still valid? I just finished building my 32bit Win7 client, and could have MP installed by then end of the day if thats what you need.
quick question... I am new to media portal, do I really need WMP 11 installed, or will WMP 12 work? The link the installer gives me takes me to WMP 11 for XP install, then when I click the windows validation tool it tells me I need a newer validation tool. Kind of a pain.
scratch that... apparently I was reading it wrong as the FAQ says i need the latest version.
