Hi Guys I try to work with AverMedia Volar HX - I dont get any analog channels. I installed the last SVN build.
I looked in the log - And I think I need to In install audio video encoders, where do I get them?
are there more problems?

Thx for the help

Have you set this up as a hybrid card, the encoders should have installed with the avermedia software.

Yep I did - did not help :-(

One more - there is a led on the AverMedia, Its on when the tuner is working (when I scand under mce & see channel it was on) but its not on when I run scan under the tv-server :-o

Thx

You don't have supported TVServer encoders installed...
2008-06-18 11:26:38.187500 [11]: analog: failed to add audio compressor. you must install a supported audio encoder!

Install WinDVR 3 trial from Intervideo / Corel. This will give you good encoders for your software card.

I have the Same problem that benz1_zbit had, but when I go to Corel I cannot find WinDVR 3? What am I doing wrong?

Win/DVR3 is aq full fledged media viewer, and is now listed at Corel as "no longer available." When I run DVR 3, it seems to work fine except the volume control is locked in the off position. When I run Media Portal TV Server Configuration, Auto Scan for my ATI AVstream Analog Tuner stops at channel 158 and nothing happens. Media Portal has no channels to play. Do you know of another source for supported TVServer encoders?

Its the same in my setup with WinDVR 3, but TV-Server did find channels. In addtion there was channels TV-Server did not find, I changed some channels FQ manualy and (after re-boot) it worked.

benzi_zbit,

On my setup TV-Server stalls at channel 158 and nothing happens - apparently no channels are made available for MediaPortal. Do you see error messages associated with Psisdecd.dll? I downloaded dvbfix.rar from MediaPortal. ZipGenius list two files but does not unzip them. A trial version of WinZip finds three file but does not unzip them. If you have installed dvbfix, that may explain your success.
