Was attempting to set up media portal today and was notified that my card is not supported and to report it to the forum. The card is a PCTV 800i

    Hi and welcome tvbum (nice handle :))

    Were you trying to use the analog input/tuner? If so, you probably just need to install software encoders.
    Having said that, based on the time that you've posted and the type of tuner the 800i is, I'm guessing that you're based in the US or Canada. If I'm right, I would have thought that you would be needing the digital ATSC/QAM side of the card rather than the analog side.

    It depends, if he is connected to an analog cable, he would use the analog part.

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    PS: But maybe the MP2 team will be back tomorrow, and development and bug fixes will continue. Time will tell.
