is the HVR-900 supported?

its a USB version of the HVR-1300 card!

if not (since I have heard from other users that it does NOT work with MO) - when will it be supported? does anyone work on getting this card supported?

 

[Callifo]

The DVB-T portion of the card is listed in the wiki as supported but the analogue part is not. Its a USB version of the HVR-1100 btw.

You can get the analogue software side working by following the instructions in the sticky at the top of this forum.

MP and Hauppage HVR-900

I just got a HVR-900 and try to get it to work in Mediaportal.
The digital part works fine (lags a bit, I guess low signal from antenna?)
but the analogue part does not work.
Callifo, I've followed instructions in the sticky about installing the fix, and I've installed and the MCE Encoder for HVR-1100, but that did not help.
Did I miss something? Is it possible in MP to zap digital and analogue channels from the same card? Or is it possible somewhere to install hybrid cards twice, one digital and one analogue? I tried in setup that but MP wouldn't let me.

You need to add 2 different cards inside the configuration program. One will be the digital channels which you assign all the digital channels to and the second is the software analogue card which you assign the analogue channels to.

Thanks Callifo for your reply!
I've tried that, but the config prog says that there are no more cards to add, i.e. it appears to see only the digital part of the card.
I looked at the MediaPortal carddefinitions.xml-file, and for other Hauppage hybrid cards i.e. HVR-1100 and HVR-1300, there are two definitions, one digital and one analogue. Is it necessary to add a section for the analogue part of HVR-900, and if so, how does one do that? Or is there some other way to get it to work?

There are software encoders available from Hauppauge for that card to get analogue support here...

You need SoftPVR_Update.EXE which is in hcw21nova-t.exe.

Note: This is from the Hauppauge site...
Analogue TV recording: PC with 2.8 GHz processor (min. recommended) when recording with MPEG-2, 1.5 GHz when recording with MPEG-1

Since the above assumes recording with a non DirectX application and also no timeshifting then I would say you'd need at least a 3.2GHz processor for MP/MCE.

SO if you have that kind of processing power then follow the instructions here...

I'll need to know the encoder filter information.

DMAN

Taken from this thread. Should apply to HVR-1100 and HVR-900.

 

[drZap]

OK. I've followed the instructions and sent off an email to D-man with Graphedit output, picture, monikers and all that. Hope to find the analog part of HVR-900 supported in the next version.
Or can I do something myself that I haven't understood yet?

 

[drZap]

Thanks for adding support for HVR-900 (Analogue) in the latest build. But I get "Unable to build graph for this device" error twice. Can something be done about this?
I ran start.bat to register the filters, and installed the Hauppage software encoder.

Anyone out there that gets HVR-900 Analogue to work?
Mine doesn't. Unable to create graph error. The digital part works OK.
