[QUOTE="nvmarino, post: 216713, member: 26121"] I've been tikering with HTPC stuff for quite a few years now and one of the things I constantly come back to trying but have never been able to get to work was firewire capture with MP. As part of my effort to get it (and another project I was working on) running, I was looking for the [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/video_capture_card_tuner-t15972.html?t=15972"]exact same documentation[/URL] almost a year ago and never received a response. And now, a year later, I've started investigating again and it just dawned on me how to find what I was looking for - have a look at the source. The good news - the CaptureCardsDefinitions.xml parameters are fairly well documented in the CaptureCardDefinitions.cs source file. Once I understood how the .xml file worked here's how I thought the definition should look: <capturecard commercialname="Motorola DCT 6200" capturename="Motorola AV/C Tuner Device" devid="MOTOROLA&DCT-6200&TYP_5&ID_0"> <capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="true" sw="false" bda="false"></capabilities> <tv> <interface cat="capture" video="" audio="" mpeg2="00"></interface> <filters> <filter cat="capture" name="Motorola AV/C Tuner Device" checkdevice="false"></filter> </filters> <connections> </connections> </tv> </capturecard> Extremely simple but, unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work. After further digging in to the source, it looks to me like some code has to be writen to get it working. I'm going to avoid trying to explain something I don't fully understand yet but I'd suggest having a look at the source yourself if you want to understand what's going on and what might be needed to get it working. And please do tell if you do manage to get things going! --Nino [/QUOTE]
