Hauppauge WinTV-CI problem (1 Viewer)

[jigsjdg]

Hi,

I've been trying the quite a lot of snapshots lately after DMAN has fixed the Hauppauge WINTV-CI USB CAM-module which I use alongside my Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T USB2 tuner.

What I find is that both sound and video are garbled; some channels worse than others. Even FTA channels are garbled up whilst that wasn't the case with the 'regular' MP 0.2.3 final release.

I've been trying multiple available codecs for both video and audio, to no avail- It isn't a hardware related issue though, as the Hauppauge WinTV v6 application can render both FTA and scrambled channels (Netherlands, Digitenne DVB-T) perfectly fine.

DMAN suggested "the CAM module is reporting the channels as being unscrambled even though they're not" but he can't test it...

Attached are my logfiles. The first channel being tuned into thru timeshifting is RTL4 which is a scrambled channel. The second channel I log into is "Nederland 1" which is an unscrambled channel.

Hope someone can have a look

Is there any progress on your side with the CI-module?

Here is another user with the same question... Is it possible to use the WinTV CI module with MediaPortal?

Should I just get myself a new supoported CI?

(WinTV CI Rev A1 + Hauppauge HVR4000 Tuner)

Should be fixed now.
Rev A2 hardware has better CAM compatibility i.e. Dragon & Diablo.
The latest 'beta' drivers are alot better also so use driver version 1.3607.26137.0 or later.

DMAN

Use SVN 20228 or later

Yes, but only at the right hw level, with the right drivers, with the right tuner hardware, with the right OS patches/service packs/hotfixes, with the right BSD drivers and, as always, with a little luck.
