I've been trying set up MediaPortal using an older tuner card I had lying around. Unfortunately the card isn't in the supported list and I am not too keen to buy a brand new one right now. It works fine with other programs (like WinDVR).

I've tried editing the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml file. The program recognises the card, but cannot install. I get the error "Unable to create graph for this device". I've attached a GraphEdit diagram to this post, and the Configuration log and XML are below. If anyone could offer any pointers it would be greatly appreciated.


Code: 
  <capturecard commercialname="LifeView Capture" capturename="LifeView Capture" devid="ven_109e&amp;dev_036e&amp;subsys_00000000&amp;rev_11">
    <capabilities tv="true" radio="true" mpeg2="false" mce="false" sw="false" bda="false"/>
    <tv>
      <interface cat="capture" video="0" audio="1" mpeg2="" />
      <interface cat="tvtuner" video="0" audio="1" mpeg2="" />
      <filters>

        <filter cat="capture"     name="LifeView Capture"  checkdevice="false"/>
      </filters>

You need to install Intervideo WinDVR3 as well (trial version).

Also, a 1Ghz CPU is probably not going to cut it with this card, since it requires an extra mpeg-2 encoding step.

Thanks for the reply. I've already installed WinDVR 3, and the tuner works fine through it. The processor speed is quite slow - I just used scavenged parts from a few old PCs I had lying around - but I think it's fast enough. I only have a CRT TV, and it's an analogue tuner, so lower quality will do me for now. I tried time shifting with WinDVR and it ran smoothly.

My problem with getting it to work with MediaPortal is due to the configuration file (XML). There is no official support for my card. I tried putting together a specification from what GraphEdit showed, but there was a lot of guess work involved. I was unable to find any documentation that detailed the XML format.

If I can't get it working with my card then I suppose I'll just have to buy a supported one. I imagine that others are in my position also. The idea of using MediaPortal with any old card was a tempting prospect, and much more appealing than having to spend a couple of hundred dollars on parts and software to get something running.

About The Project

The vision of the MediaPortal project is to create a free open source media centre application, which supports all advanced media centre functions, and is accessible to all Windows users.

In reaching this goal we are working every day to make sure our software is one of the best.

Support MediaPortal!

The team works very hard to make sure the community is running the best HTPC-software. We give away MediaPortal for free but hosting and software is not for us.

Care to support our work with a few bucks? We'd really appreciate it!
