AAAAAHHHHH!!!!! Start with 0...... Hmmmm.... Then am I to understand on the MPEG2 Demultiplexter 1-5 is really 0-4?

That would normally be true. I was proved wrong once, but the filter actually had the pin numbers listed, and there was no zero!

Okay, well, the links you have posted I had looked at, but what drives me nuts is that if I build the Graph and run it, it works. Like while I am posting this I am watching HOUSE in HD on FOX... But the audio is out of sync... but the picture is WONDERFUL. But when it goes to autotune it doesn't find any channels or it crashes...

Again. Thank you so much for your help!

 

[Paul S]

Which version of MP are you using? 0.2.1.0 is the last stable version.

 

[ShadoHawk]

I was running 0.2.0.0 getting that version now. Also, I am pretty sure I got the xml right now! It made it to channel 29 before it died on me, but I noticed that it will get signal locks but not find a channel.. Is this normal?

 

[Paul S]

That doesn't seem right. I'm not sure what can cause that. Maybe the logs can shead some light on the problem.

 

[ShadoHawk]

No worries. I got it taken care of. The first config I posted was right... Now I am going to work on building a Graph for NTSC. Thanks for the help. I have to watch for my own typos. LOL

 

[ShadoHawk]

Well, I should get my butt to bed. But I made the NTSC side of the config! Well, it's not perfect yet cause I haven't tested but this is what I have gotten so far and it's scanning channels now!

  <capturecard commercialname="pcHDTV 5500 (NTSC)" capturename="PVDA408 Video Capture" devid="ven_14f1&amp;dev_8800&amp;subsys_55007063&amp;rev_05">
    <capabilities tv="true" radio="false" mpeg2="true" mce="false" sw="false" bda="false"/>
    <tv>
    <interface cat="capture" video="" audio="" mpeg2="0"></interface>
      <filters>
        <filter cat="tvtuner"     name="PVDA408 Tuner"   checkdevice="true"/>
        <filter cat="tvaudio"     name="PVDA408 TvAudio"   checkdevice="true"/>
        <filter cat="crossbar"    name="PVDA408 Crossbar"   checkdevice="true"/>
        <filter cat="capture"     name="PVDA408 Video Capture"    checkdevice="true"/>
      </filters>
      <connections>
        <connection sourcefilter="tvtuner"  sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="crossbar" sinkpin="1"></connection>
        <connection sourcefilter="tvaudio"  sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="crossbar" sinkpin="4"></connection>
        <connection sourcefilter="tvtuner"  sourcepin="1" sinkfilter="tvaudio"  sinkpin="0"></connection>
        <connection sourcefilter="crossbar" sourcepin="0" sinkfilter="capture"  sinkpin="0"></connection>
      </connections>
    </tv>
  </capturecard>

It seems to be on it's way to working. Thanks so much for your help in pointing me in the right direction! I hope to perfect the configs for all the features of the card so they can be added to the release.

Paul!

Looks good.

Maybe you need to post this at the pcHDTV forums.

mcjimbob,

I use MP for sky but only from the point of view I use a MCE150PVR card and its composit input to get a picture from my sky box. I think setup the EPG with all my fav channels. I then used the MCE replacement IR control plugin to work my Sky+ box.

It all works 100% so am very happy with it. Last night I told it to record some "dirty sanchez" on MTV (there were three episodes on back to back just after midnight). It recorded them and stored them in their own series folder.... great!

So as a method I can say the above works pretty well. I'm tempted to have multiroom and an additional PVR150 at some point.
