I use MP 0.2.2.0 and the SAA713x drivers (1.3.3.2)
The problem of "cannot create graph" can be repaired with thew following in both the 944 analog card definitions in Capturecarddefinitions.xml :
<connection sourcefilter="capture" sourcepin="2" sinkfilter="audencoder" sinkpin="0"/>
In the original version the sourcepin is "3".
After i changed it in "2" there is no problem in the edit mode (media portal setup) of the analog card and i can see all TV channels (also sound).

But in Mediaportal in the TV part the screen stays black and no sound.
The message is "no signal detected"
DVD works fine and also teletext on several channels.
Powercinema works also on my pc.

I also installs Windvr to get the Intervideo encoders etc.
I use Mediaplayer 11.


What could be the problem??

problem solved

I get the TV working with sound!!
I changed the capturecarddefinition.xml as below.
Teletext is not working but is doesn't work neither in Powercinema.
My radio doesn't work. Maybe the 944 card is only a TV tuner and not an radiotuner.

If anyone gets the radio or teletext working, let me know

Hi ignsdui,

You've solved you're own problem! Great! And maybe, just maybe, you've helped me, too. I own a Medion PC aswel, with the same kind of card as you do. So I'm certainly going to try this. One question, though: are you able to autotune? In the past, this wasn't possible.

Good work!!

I just wanted to point out, for your configuration to work for others, they need to have the Cyberlink encoders installed.

Otherwise, Good Work!

Yes autotune was no problem. I used the download of the channels from a provider. I didn't use the scan option.
In the setup i get sometimes the message could not create graph in the setuup program . But even then i can do all things.
