hauppage wintv usb "suported" HELP PLEASE!! (1 Viewer)

[alank]

I am having this same problem. Today I purchased the Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2 MCE. I downloaded the latest drivers and the latest WinTV2000 software. The WinTV2000 software works great. I can watch, pause, and record live TV. But MediaPortal is not recognizing the device. "No video capture card(s) found" error. I tried installing the older drivers as Elconejo suggested but they wouldn't install (XP complained they were not compatible with the hardware). I am running MP 0.2.0.3.

Is it true this version of MP does not work with this hardware/latest driver? If so, can someone point me to another older version of the driver I can try?

Problem fixed.

You need to edit the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml. Seach for all occurances of "PVR USB2" and change them to "PVR2 USB2".

Then the card will be recognized. There are two entries for this device in there. The standard "Hauppauge PVR USB2" version and the Media Center version "Hauppauge PVR USB2 MCE". Depending on which driver version you installed that's the one to change. Or change them both to be sure and it shouldn't hurt anything.

If you have upgraded to 0.2.0.3 you may already see two entries for the standard version. One with PVR and the other with PVR2. If this is the case then you probably don't have to make a change to them. However it still looks like there is only 1 MCE entry in the file. So that one will have to be changed if you installed the MCE driver.

Make a backup of the file first incase you need to revert.
