I hope to start testing this for you this weekend as well bionicdonkey.

Hauppage Nova-T (Phillips) card.

Does anyone know what happens to the naming when you have two of the same card is one pc? if it's different with a (2) on the end or something, it would solve our problems.

Also what do you folks think about the direction for this project? Eventually it'll get integrated into tvcapture. I have been looking at this and started writing a bit of code yesterday. Should we continue and finish the plugin or fix the current problem and integrate it into tvcapture which will take out some of the work as it's already done for analogue.

Josh,

I think you should try and fix the current problem and then intergrate it into tvcapture along with MPEG-2 & software cards.
That way you can levergae the existing TV code and xml skin stuff.

Cheers!

I don't know about other devices, but I remember when I have network card issues, when I swapped pci slots, it created a new device with #2 or #3 or whatever it is up to on the end. Don't quote me on this though...

I can probably get hold of a second Nova-T card, and possibly give remote access to it if it will help?

Here is a graph of my Nova-T...

And here are the monikers...

A big post (sorry) but I hope it all helps...

Well, i've begun work on the tvcapture integration, and have some progress in the configuration section. I'm still not too sure how to differenciate between identical cards in the same system yet but i'm going to try forcing the installation of a second driver of my card and see if that works. hopefully i'll have some more news soon

Josh,

I had a quick look at the code tonight and one problem is the string value for the Tuner is not being dumped correctly to the xml file.
I think if this gets fixed and then referenced back to building the graph then we may have more success with connection points etc.

I had a look at SWEncodingGraph.cs and this is how it's done there.

I don't think two DVB-T cards of the same type are a problem right now unless you know something I don't.

I think the problem isn't the way it's dumped, it's the dat that is dumped. What i tried to do is find something common between the tuner and capture devices and dump that. But this to only work for me

What i think i'll do is find something unique to the tuner device and then enumerate the capture devices and try to connect them. if a connection is established then try to start the graph. i think an exception is thrown if the devices aren't capatable or they are in use, but i could be wrong.

Josh,

The three cards I have the 'Tuner' device and 'Capture' device all start with the same name.
i.e. 713x or TechnoTrend or Pinnacle.

What if you dump the first word of the chosen Tuner filter then enumerate this into the graph and based on this string also enumerate the Capture component.

Do you have the book 'Programming Directshow For Digital Video & Tv' btw?
