[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1177854, member: 82144"] Hi Rob Short answer: I don't think it will work. Longer answer... As it says [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/11_Preparing_Your_System/01_Supported_TV_Cards#Supported_Tuners']in our wiki[/URL], with the exception of the Hauppauge HD-PVR and Colossus, TV Server currently does not support hardware that does not have a tuner. In other words, a device that only has a composite input won't work. It won't even be detected. From what I can see in the log files, the driver that you were using at the time does not install/register a tuner. Therefore the device you have (I'm going to call it an EasyCap just for ease of explanation) would not be detected or supported with that driver. In other words, I'm confirming that your result with that driver is completely normal and as expected. So, the alternative "USB TV Tuner" driver option sounds like the only possible way forward. When you say "doesn't give a picture", what exactly did you do to test/confirm that? Did you try the "add s-video channels" function from the [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/02_TV_Servers/7_Scan_Analog#Scanning']analog scan section[/URL]? If yes, what happened? [/QUOTE]
