Pinnacle 310i Analog (1 Viewer)

[javier1492]

I've recendly got a Pinnacle 310i, but as I tried to configure MediaPortal I found that I can do it in three ways:
Digital TV TDT (TNT)
Pinnacle 310i S/W (Software enconding)
Pinnacle 310i H/W (Hardware enconding)

THE RESULTS:
In S/W the recording is very unstable (lost frames I suppouse)
In H/W the setup is OK but as I enter in My TV (MediaPortal) I can't see anything. Everything seems to be OK but the screen is totally BLACK

How can I use my Pinnacle 310i in Analog mode and Record without loosing frames (Mpeg2 by HARDWARE)?

Thank you all for your help.

Hi,

Which version of MP are you using? MediaPortal 0.1.3.0 is supposed to support the Pinnacle 310i with this update. It was recently posted on the main site new area... Just copy the capturecarddefinitions.xml to your MP install directory. AFAIK the same goes for 0.2.0.0 RC1.

Kind regards,
Michel

I use the 0.2.0.0 RC1 but with this "capturecarddefinitions.xml" I only can choose between:
pinnacle pctv 310i BDA Analog capture (General H/W Encoding Card) or
Pinnacle PCTV 310i BDA Digital Capture (Pinnacle 310i TNT)

in Analog H/W i only see a black screen and in Digital i can´t turn on the tv.
It doesn`t run.

Any new ideas, I've the same problem?
My card isnt working in H/W encoding.

Has anyone a new CaptureCardDefinitions.xml with this card?

Try using the driver 3xHybrid.sys version 1.3.3.1 downloaded from Terratec site
(PTV 380 WHQL Driver). Simply replace the file and reboot.
