Hi out there
I have been trying to get Mediaportal up and run during the last month with a Hauppauge HVR 3000 hybrid card - but I have some major problems.
I have now removed the version 0.2.0.0 and 0.2.1.0 - and also deleted the folders in "Program files" so that I could start on a fresh with 0.2.2.0.
But - I still have the same problems - when I start the configuration wizard it detects the Hauppauge Analog Card and will also detects the channels there. When finished it continues with the Radio Channels - also OK. Then it detects the HVR 3000 DVB-S part of the card and will also run successfully there - but it will not detect the DVB-T part of the card.
When I start over and restart the MP Setup program I can delete the HVR 3000 Analog card and the HVR 3000 DVB-S card and try add them again.
From the drop-down I can select either Analog, DVB-T or DVB-S. If I select DVB-T it will try add the card but pops up a dialog box where the setup program tells me "Cannot create graph for this device" but add's device but the card is added.
Afterwards I cannot add more cards in this case. and nothing is "pre-configured" and the "autotune" tab is missing.
If I instead select either Analog or DVB-S I can add both of these devices and also configure them but not add the DVB-T device afterwards - no more cards detected

What am I doing wrong here ? I have tried with several different versions of drivers from Hauppauge - also the latest for MCE - ver. 3.1F where I have tried the "DVB-S as DVB-T" option but no difference.

What do I need to do to "create a graph for this device" or in general - what am I doing wrong when adding this card ? Any suggestions? Has anyone got the HVR 3000 card up and running with MediaPortal?

best regards
Thomas Iwang

Hi Thomas,
I have the same problem with my HVR-3000 but in my case the problem arises when selecting the Analog item in the drop-down menu. I got no response to my post yet. :-( :-(
good luck

Hi

I also have that card. Same here, but i think the reason is that the input is the same for analog and DVB-T. Both use the same antenna-input. I think you have to choose one of them.
EDIT:

It seems You can only have 1 digital device since they use the same capture driver. However its strange that it works in WinTV, so maybe it is possible to get it to work in MP. Maybe something could be done in capturecarddefinitions.xml?

hi out there
I have tried to use the tvengine 03 beta instead - hereby can I use both the DVB-T & DVB-S (disabled the analoug interface to save CPU) - the tvengine and client interface are still unstable but I think this might be the right way to go - the conecept of splitting the MP up into seperate services is also brilliant so that it is possibly to share the tvserver among more clients
