DTV2000H- "unable to create graph" (1 Viewer)

[Rolaveric]

Sorry for the confusion.
The first code I posted is yours, Yannis, just with the </tv> </capture card> and &amp; added in. ie. What the code SHOULD be.
The second code I posted is what comes prepackaged in Media Portal 0.2.2, which is incorrect for the given reasons.

The other thing I spotted was a second "Winfast DVT 2000H" device listed in CaptureCardDefinitions.xml
This is taken straight from a base installation of Media Portal - no changes.

  <capturecard commercialname="LeadTek Winfast DTV 2000H" capturename="WinFast DTV 2000 BDA Transport Stream Capture" devid="ven_14f1&amp;dev_8802&amp;subsys_6651107d&amp;rev_05">
    <capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="true"/>
    <tv>
      <interface cat="capture" video="2" audio="3" mpeg2="1" sectionsandtables="5"/>
      <filters>
		<filter cat="networkprovider" name="Microsoft DVBT Network Provider"						checkdevice="false"/>
		<filter cat="tunerdevice"     name="WinFast DTV 2000 BDA DVB-T Tuner/Demod (XCeive XC3028)"	checkdevice="true"/>
		<filter cat="capture"         name="WinFast DTV 2000 BDA Transport Stream Capture"			checkdevice="true"/>
      </filters>
      <connections>
		<connection sourcefilter="networkprovider" 	sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="tunerdevice"	sinkpin="0"/>
		<connection sourcefilter="tunerdevice" 		sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture"		sinkpin="0"/>
      </connections>
      </tv>
  </capturecard>

This has the same problems as the other entry ie. Should be "665E107d" and missing the "H".
Also the "(XCeive XC3028)" at the end of the tuner device seems out of place.

I tried changing this entry around and it still gives me the same problems.
Could you possibly upload your entire "CaptureCardDefinitions.xml" for us to try, Yannis?
Hopefully we can crack this one.

Hello,

First of all i understand you because i was trying for 6 weeks to fix it.

2 questions

1.in the configuration process you can add the card but you you cannot edit it?
If 1 is true then you must install pvr software.
If 1 is false then something in the xml file is wrong.Maybe your device id has a different number but i don't think so.
You can check it in control panel-> system in tv card driver details.

That is all i had done and mine worked
For last i can email you my carddefinitions file.

Regards
Yannis

Well somehow I got the card working. I did change the code to 665E107d but in the configuration, I was clicking edit- which would give me the "unable to create graph" error. Then I tried 'add' and a second Winfast 2000 H entry appeared. From there, I was able to go to the next screen and autotune.

So I picked up several channels (all the ones I should get) but the problem now is I have picture but no sound (which is odd because I found with MCE, which is also on the o/s, I have sound but no picture!). Also, the picture stutters a bit and channels changes are slooooooow. Any ideas??

Alright, finally got mine working.
Turns out my problem all along was my text editor...
It was doing something funky with CaptureCardDefinitions.xml which Media Portal didn't like, worked it out when I realised I got the same errors when I reversed my changes instead of just using the backup.

Still need to do more fiddling to check if everything works, but from what I can tell I can only run either the BDA (Digital component) or the WDM (Analogue Component), but not both at the same time because if both have the same DevID Moniker value Media Portal gets confused.
But thats fine for me because the digital component is all I really need.

I've attached a copy of my CaptureCardDefinitions.xml in a zip file to this post.
I'll add some notes in the Wiki Help entry for this card too.

Thanks for your help guys.

There is the section that matches my card's hardware ID... I can't find anything wrong with it..

It has been my experience that you can't use wordpad to edit the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml file. It adds formatting to the file that makes it unreadable to Media Portal. When I edit that file I use notepad and never have any problems.

we are talking about different cards The xml is for dtv2000h .
