Thank you pBS,

this looks really quite brilliant but then I would never have expected less than that from you

I always had a problem with the SoftPVR page/s. I do hope that this makes it easier for new users.

Most excellent.

cheers very much

has anyone tried my batch on a 64bit machine?

A recent thread strongly suggests that the batch needs further revision for 64bit systems: http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread...d-at-this-time

If the previous download SoftPVR_64bit.zip can be retrieved, it might be helpful for the time being to post it here or there.

The problem with the script on the wiki wasn't due to 64bit, it was due to an issue with UAC I think. On Windows 8, I was not able to get it to work using temp folders in the NPVR program directory. All the temporary extractions had to be performed in c:\temp. Here is the updated script that worked (I used it on Win8.1 x64): http://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread...790#post463790

I'm sure you are correct whurlston. However judging by subsequent posts in that thread, your updated script might not work perfectly with Win7SP1.

Thats possibly true. I dont have an analog tuner installed at the moment to test it.

[mmidgley]

Greetings. I've been using NextPVR 4.0.4 (170820) on Win 10.0.14393 to record ATSC over the air TV. I'd like to now use the analog composite input on the Hauppauge 1250 card.

I followed the instructions for using softpvr.bat and wintv85setup_35270.exe and got the files registered. The "Hauppauge WinTV 885 Video Capture" analog recorder now appears in Devices:

Type Device Present Enabled Channels
ATSC Hauppauge WinTV 885 ATSC Tuner/Demod Yes Yes 26
Analog Hauppauge WinTV 885 Video Capture Yes Yes 0
...

However, when I go into Device Setup for "Hauppauge WinTV 885 Video Capture" and attempt to add any channel (Composite or other) I get an "Add Channel" dialog stating there was an Unhandled exception in a component in your application. Details:

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Ideas?

mmidgley, there is an updated NUtilities.dll that fixes this problem with analog devices in the current build:
