Graphedit help needed for a dual hybrid digital/analogue card (1 Viewer)

[Cyberpro60]

I am trying to get a KWorld DVB-T PE310 card working under the latest build of MediaPortal [3-19]. This card has dual digital/analogue hybrid tuners onboard and it is current not detected as a "supported" card. It is, however, based upon the Phillips 7162 chipset and at least some versions of this chipset seem to be known and listed.

Elsewhere in the Wicki somebody posted an excellent tutorial on creating a custom entry in the capture cards definitions XML file. The instructions explained how to use Graphedit to create the graph for a card and how to use this information to develop the XML entry.

See: http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/Add_TVCard_to_natively_supported_list

I managed to do this successfully for the twin digital tuners and I now have digital working really well. The problem is, the instructions given were only for Digital tuner cards not analogue.

eg The starting point was to "Open GraphEdit and add the Microsoft DVBT (or DVBS / DVBC) Network Provider under Insert Filters and BDA Network Providers". T

The above is, obviously, not the right starting point for an analogue card.

How to start to build a graph for an analogue capture card, that is the question ???

BTW:

Listed below are the entries I am using for this card:

The entries for the digital tuners 1 & 2 were as I worked them out before although I have since discovered an almost identical entry for a 7162 based Lifeview card which I modified and used as you can see.

Unforunately, I could not build the graph for the analogue component and had to accept the Lifeview entries "as is". They do not work, alas! They are "recognised" as valid entries but result in an error notice which says "unable to build a graph for this card" whenever I try to do something with them.

Do you have the Cyberlink MPEG encoders installed? That is what is listed in the config file.

Analog software cards require MPEG encoders to work in MP. Some people have used the Intervideo encoders, but that would require you to change the config file to match the encoders.

I have tried to set up two analog tuners, without acceptable results. So, good luck!
