Hauppauge PCI Go-FM (881 based) experiments (1 Viewer)

[Furetto]

This was the first card I bought. Later I threw it out and stuck a PVR-350. Before I only used MP for playing music and videos, now it servers just as much as PVR. Great application !!!

And because I got bored this weekend, I thought, well might as well try to get that 881 running. If anyone needs details about how to get both cards running... I slightly remember...

I copied and modified the settings from a 878-based card, and used the MainConcept (MCE) MPEG Encoder. Recording quality was very poor sadly, and could only play back in Windows Media Player, not in MP.

  <capturecard commercialname="Hauppauge WinTV 881 based" capturename="Hauppauge WinTV 88x Video Capture" devid="ven_14f1&amp;dev_8800&amp;subsys_34010070&amp;rev_03">
    <capabilities tv="true" radio="true" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="false"/>

        <filter cat="audcapture"  name="%soundcard%"                    checkdevice="true"/>
        <filter cat="mux"         name="MainConcept (MCE) MPEG Encoder" checkdevice="false"/>
      </filters>
      <connections>
        <connection sourcefilter="tvtuner"    sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="crossbar" sinkpin="%tvtuner%"/>
        <connection sourcefilter="tvtuner"    sourcepin="1" sinkfilter="tvaudio"  sinkpin="0"/>
        <connection sourcefilter="tvaudio"    sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="crossbar" sinkpin="%audiotuner%"/>
        <connection sourcefilter="crossbar"   sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture"  sinkpin="0"/>
        <connection sourcefilter="capture"    sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="mux"      sinkpin="0"/>
        <connection sourcefilter="audcapture" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="mux"      sinkpin="1"/>
      </connections>
    </tv>
  </capturecard>

So I decided to try with the Intervideo Trial Encoder. It is installed, I can open it in graphedit, and here is the definition in CaptureCardDefinitions.xml

      <filters>

      <connections>
        <connection sourcefilter="tvtuner"    sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="crossbar" sinkpin="%tvtuner%"/>
        <connection sourcefilter="tvtuner"    sourcepin="1" sinkfilter="tvaudio"  sinkpin="0"/>
        <connection sourcefilter="tvaudio"    sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="crossbar" sinkpin="%audiotuner%"/>
        <connection sourcefilter="crossbar"   sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture"  sinkpin="0"/>
		    <connection sourcefilter="capture"		sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="videncoder"	sinkpin="0"/>
        <connection sourcefilter="audcapture"	sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="audencoder"	sinkpin="0"/>
        <connection sourcefilter="videncoder"	sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="mux"			  sinkpin="0"/>
        <connection sourcefilter="audencoder"	sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="mux"			  sinkpin="1"/>
      </connections>
    </tv>
  </capturecard>

The result is the same... very bad quality, does not play in MP. I can FF and I can skip, but it does not play normally. I have not taken the time to go deeper into this... already spent the whole Easter weekend on this crappy card :shock:

But if it help anyone... or if anyone has a pointer to get this thing going anyway....

Here's my log of adding the card: http://mp.pastebin.com/667671

And the log after running and recording a while http://mp.pastebin.com/667672

is there any progress on FULL supporting this TV card?
