Hi,
I've used MediaPortal for 6 months now, without TV, and I was quite satisfied with it (even if getting it to work smoothly and well configurated was a pain...)
So yesterday I was curious about TV features and I wanted to try a TV card. I found one cheap card at the shop next my home, I installed it in Windows, worked liked a charm with its own software and WDM drivers.
So I guessed that, if the card was working fine under Windows, getting it to work in MediaPortal would have been just a kind of "plug&play" matter. It was before I discover that the very "exotic" TV card support in MediaPortal just sucks....
After reading tons of pages from Google, I finally found how to get MediaPortal to recognise my Tv card (by the way: why does TV card support in MP relies on very incomplete xml files, instead of just relying onto WDM installed and working drivers??)
But the card, even recognised, doesn't work, and I just get stucked with a "Unable to create graph for this device" error message when I try to configure it. Like many and many other people. What does this mean? Which graph? Very obscur error message....
The card definition in the capturecarddefinition.xml is correct.
After reading a lot of thread about this, it seems that the RC1 with TV Server should solve the problem. I insist on "should": not "will" because I didn't find any post of people saying "hey! that's right, my card is now recognized because I updated to TV Server...".
I will definitely not install an SQL server on my mediacenter just to watch TV! That's silly...
So in conclusion my question is very simple: is there anybody out there who got MP without TV Server to work with an EC168 DVB-T chipset?
