Hi,
is there anybody with working MP 0.2.2.0 and analogue tuner Leadtek Winfast TV 2000 XP together ? I tried different codecs (Leadtek, CyberLink, MP, InterVideo), but quality is too bad.
Thanks

I have the same situation:( Maybe somebody can fix this problem...

I have now installed the PVR application and I can now see TV...

However the TV seems to be dropping frames and the audio is out of sync. Additionally MP is very slow and extremely unresponsive to any commands when running the TV.

When I open MP configuration my TV-card don't have correct graph:p

The "unable create graph" message in MP setup TV-card edit section depends on the codecs choosen in the MP setup Television section. Sometimes I don't obtain this error (with Leadtek codec and Cyberlink, I think). But the result is horrible in both situations (error / no error).
Maybe I will try fresh installation on Saturday.

Have any of you tried to make a graph (using GraphEdit) with this card. The CaptureCardDefinitions entry, for this card, may need tweaking.

When you use this card with the native software, open GraphEdit and connect to a remote graph. If you can connect to the cards graph, take a screenshot of it. You want MP to duplicate this graph, so the info in the CaptureCardDefinitions file needs to represent the good graph (filter names & pin numbers).

I try it, but when the Winfast SW is running there is no "Remote Graph" to connect to listed in GraphEdit:confused:

    That card only a software encoder card. MP supports that but you will never see a good picture in MP. Buy a hardware encode card.
    (I have a sw and a hw tv card from Leadtek)

    I own this card and gave up a long time ago to use it with MP due to the sheer amount of hassle involved.

    Since the new TVEngine doesn't support software cards (yet, if at all), you're better off to invest in a hardware encoder card and safe yourself a lot of grief.

    In this case I think about writing a plugin for MP that can capture from device... It's easy for normal C# application, but I don't have any idea how write this for MP:p I see that is only chanse to watch TV:( Now I reading articles how plugin shoould looks like... If anybody have better idea - pleas conntact me:)

    I must say that Skystar 2 is a software card and it have a very good picture in MP:p

But I can't give any guarantees.

Open MP2-Client, navigate to Settings->General->Connectivity->Home server. In the menu on the left there may be an option Detach from home server, if there is click it and acknowledge the dialog that pops up...

    You need to setup the TV tuner in "TV Server Configuration". There should be a shortcut on the Windows desktop. The primary action is to "scan for channels", but obviously there are other things to setup too (such as the folder to use for recordings). MediaPortal should be able to use your tuner provided that the tuner has a BDA...
