New Zealand
I have a system with two Hauppauge cards.
A PVR-500 (Dual Analogue Tuners) and a Nova-T (Dual DVB-T Tuners).
I have installed MediaPortal and scanned both cards for channels which were found no problem.
In the TV-Server configuration, when trying to 'Preview' the analogue channels, the Preview dialog appears 'black' (i.e. No Picture) but the sound of the channel is present.
Previewing the DVB-T channels works fine.
When I load MediaPortal itself, the MYTV program displays the DVB-T channels correctly, but the analogue channels appear 'black' (i.e. No picture again) and also the sound is not present.
The attached logs are from a test with the following steps:
1) Cleared the logs
2) Loaded the TV-Server Confirguration, and attempted to Preview an analogue channel (5).
3) 'Black' preview dialog appeard with channel sound playing.
4) Closed the Preview dialog, followed by closing the TV-Server configuration.
5) Loaded MP, selected MYTV, selected 'Channels'. Selected a DVB-T channel which turned on the TV, and displayed the channel perfectly (Picture & Sound)
6) Selected 'Channels' again and selected an anlogue channel. A 'black' screen was dsiplayed with no sound.
7) Closed MP, and copied the log files.
I also have MCE loaded on this PC.
If I run Media Centre, it plays the analogue channel no problem!
Unfortunately MCE does not handle the DVB-T channels here in New Zealand and hence why I am looking at using Media Portal.
Can someone please explain why the Analogue channels are not playing correctly in Media Portal (but are in MCE).
I would love to get MediaPortal working for both Analogue and DVB-T channels.
Thanks in advance for your help
