HVR-900: Unable to create graph for this device!! (Analogue) (1 Viewer)

[nickvdh]

Hey,

Check the documentation i wrote if you didn't find it already:

http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/Supported_TVCard_Hybride/HauppaugeHVR-900

It is indeed the file CaptureCardDefinitions.xml.

I assumed that you first tried the default configuration. If that didn't work it's either another problem or you are using the faulty definition. Please post your error message / logs and describe what doesn't work.

If you need to use the above config, check if your moniker is vid_2040&pid_6502 with graphedt (the pid is different for the two types of cards, be sure to pick the right entry). If that is the fact, you can search the xml file for hvr-900 (There are four definitions). Change the entry with the moniker of vid_2040&pid_6502 of type analogue with the one above. Be sure to have the mainconcept encoder (check with graphedt for MainConcept (MCE) MPEG Encoder), i think it's installed from cd when installing WinTV.

Again, please post your error message / logs and describe what doesn't work.

Thanks nickvdh, (and others also)

It works now !!!

My moniker is vid_2040&pid_6502 and with your modifications it didn't work. Message "No adapter card found" appeared but the problem came from a corruption of the xml file.... (shame on me...)

So thanks a lot for your config and your help.

I also would like to thank nickvdh for the help. I have a HVR-950 and was having the same trouble with the graph. Searched the forums for 950 and came up wth this thread.
Anyway, I am no GraphEdt expert, so I took nickvdh's moniker and modified it to work with my 950 (which registers as an HVR-980 when installed). FWIW, I also made sure to have the latest driver release for this product first. I downloaded hauppauge_cd_3.4d1. Do a google search for that and you'll find it.
Then I replaced the HVR-950 NTSC entry in the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml file with my new moniker:


<capturecard commercialname="Hauppauge HVR-950 (NTSC)" capturename="WinTV HVR-980 Capture" devid="vid_2040&amp;pid_6513">
<capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="false"></capabilities>
<tv>
<interface cat="encoder" video="" audio="" mpeg2="0"></interface>

<connection sourcefilter="capture" sourcepin="2" sinkfilter="encoder" sinkpin="1"></connection>
</connections>
</tv>
</capturecard>


Now everything is working splendidly. Sometimes this MP stuff ain't easy, but it's fun when it all works out!!!

My HVR-900 Don't work analogue

I'm italian and my english is elementary!
I have change CaptureCardDefinitions.xml the section:

<capturecard commercialname="Hauppauge HVR-900 (Analogue)" capturename="WinTV HVR-900 Capture" devid="vid_2040&amp;pid_6502">
<capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="false"></capabilities>
<tv>
<interface cat="encoder" video="" audio="" mpeg2="0"></interface>
<filters>
<filter cat="tvtuner" name="WinTV HVR-900 TVTuner" checkdevice="true"></filter>
<filter cat="tvaudio" name="WinTV HVR-900 TVAudio" checkdevice="true"></filter>
<filter cat="crossbar" name="WinTV HVR-900 Crossbar" checkdevice="true"></filter>
<filter cat="capture" name="WinTV HVR-900 Capture" checkdevice="true"></filter>
<filter cat="encoder" name="MainConcept (Hauppauge) MPEG Video Encoder" checkdevice="false"></filter>
<filter cat="audencoder" name="MainConcept (Hauppauge) MPEG Audio Encoder" checkdevice="false"></filter>
</filters>
<connections>
<connection sourcefilter="tvtuner" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="crossbar" sinkpin="0"></connection>
<connection sourcefilter="tvtuner" sourcepin="1" sinkfilter="tvaudio" sinkpin="0"></connection>
<connection sourcefilter="tvaudio" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="crossbar" sinkpin="3"></connection>
<connection sourcefilter="crossbar" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture" sinkpin="0"></connection>
<connection sourcefilter="crossbar" sourcepin="1" sinkfilter="capture" sinkpin="1"></connection>
<connection sourcefilter="capture" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="encoder" sinkpin="0"></connection>
<connection sourcefilter="capture" sourcepin="2" sinkfilter="audencoder" sinkpin="1"></connection>
</connections>
</tv>
</capturecard>

and now after 3-4 minutes the card HVR-900 results Ok for graph, if I select for analogue scan Italy the channel is not correct, the search is for only 10 channel, I select Austria and the search is Ok 69 channels, find many channels RAI 1, RAI2 etc. but when I want see this channels found the screen remaining black and the audio mute.
For the TV Digital all OK.

Thank's

 

[nickvdh]

You used the wrong configuration, use the one from my post at 2008-01-16, 13:33 with the MainConcept (MCE) MPEG Encoder. Your configuration will let you allow tuning but will leave you with a black screen (as i explained in that post).

Good luck!

Thanx nickvdh, now I have use that:
<capturecard commercialname="Hauppauge HVR-900 (Analogue)" capturename="WinTV HVR-900 Capture" devid="vid_2040&amp;pid_6502">

</connections>
</tv>
</capturecard>

but the message is "Unable to create graph for this device!!"

 

[Gennyrino]

Sorry, I have not MainConcept (MCE) MPEG Encoder installed, this codec is commercial?

 

[nickvdh]

Mainconcept has some commercial software for encoding dvd's etc.

I thought the soft encoder was on the cd that comes with the TV card (that also has WinTV), but if not, there is a link at hauppage to download the softencoders from their site. I'm currently not in a position to lookup the link. It's somewhere on this site too, i think the link is on the documentation page of the hauppage hvr-900 (in the supported tv cards section).

 

[Gennyrino]

Thanx nickvdh
I have download SoftMCE Encoder to site of Hauppauge, I see the link in the section "Supported TVCard Hybride / Hauppauge HVR-900".
Now the analogue TV is OK

Grazie a tutti per la collaborazione

One step closer... but not quite there

Thanks for this nickvdh - i got past the 'Unable to create graph for this device' error, but now everytime i try to autotune i get a windows error report and it kicks me out of MP.

Any idea's on what may be causing this, perhaps you could post your CaptureCardDefinitions file?

I really need this to work cause i have my Sky connected via RF to my pc. Please help!

Thanks

Gummibear

Edit: Also found out that if i do anything that may use the analog side of the card (such as s-video/composite) then i get kicked out as well
