[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 919658, member: 82144"] I'm interested in hearing from anyone. The more people that share their thoughts, the better. That including people who can't test, don't have CableCARD tuners, and at the moment especially people that want to use MP but that are forced to use other software. :) The UPnP code in MP 2 seems to be quite self contained. I had to pull 3 DLLs into the TVLibrary dependencies: [LIST=1] [*]UPnP.dll [*]MediaPortal.Utilities.dll [*]HttpServer.dll [/LIST] I would not include the code directly as that would just make things messy as you say. For RTP, I'm thinking to try and use the DVB-IP source filter as the source filter for CableCARD tuners as well. I'm not sure how feasible that would be. Maybe @[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/georgius.107951/']georgius[/URL] has some thoughts about that. Any CableCARD tuner that is supported in WMC should work... because WMC uses PBDA. PBDA has the UPnP and RTP support built in so that I wouldn't have to care about it. I could just focus on good integration into MP. As you say, the problem is the documentation and that I am a little stuck with PBDA at the moment - I don't know what to try next. I did speak to babgvant (author of SageDCT - basically a plugin for supporting CableCARD tuners in SageTV). He recommended to go with DRI/UPnP/RTP because: [LIST=1] [*]PBDA only supports W7+. It would be possible to support XP and Vista with the DRI/UPnP/RTP approach... although MP2 only supports W7+ anyway... so maybe it is a little pointless. (If you want support for XP and Vista then speak up now! ;)) [*]Apparently PBDA is a little slower than DRI/UPnP/RTP. This makes sense because the PBDA interface is another layer on top of UPnP/RTP. (This is the sort of information I am hoping to get from the community here.) [*]He has not been able to get the HDHomeRun Prime working with PBDA... but it is a different problem to what I am seeing. [/LIST] I did also get some tips about PBDA which told me I was on the right track, and it sounds like he would be willing to answer further questions if I had any. This is good, but he is not able to solve the problem that I'm facing right now. Specifically: Every attempt to tune or retrieve information from the tuner returns HRESULT 0x80004005. For all that I know, this could be caused by the fact that I'm logged in using RDP or that WMC is not fully set up on the bc0508's PC... [/QUOTE]
