Cannot get VisionPlus DVB-S card to work with gbpvr

[swissueli]

Hi all,

I bought a VisionPlus (Twinhan chip set) DVB-S card. While the card is working fine under Windows XP SP2 with the included Twinhand DTV software, I cannot manage to get it working under gbpvr 94.13.

I have installed the latest BDA driver Version 1.2.2.7 from Twinhan site.

The error message I get when clicking on "Digital Channel Mapping" in the configuration program is:

"GB-PVR was unable to start the BDA device you have configured. Check the device is confiugred properly, and not already in use. (Reason: Failed to locate configured BDA capture device)"

Under Computer Management, Device Manager, Sound and Video the DVB-TV 878 Digital Capture Driver and Digital Tuner Driver are correctly listed and functional.

Any help is welcome.

Cheers, Ulrich

Twinhan changed the name of their drivers in versions release since the last release of GB-PVR. Try adding the following to bda.ini, and select that card:


[Twinhan DVB-S (v1.2.2.4 and up)]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-S
FILTER_TUNER=DTV-DVBS 878 Digital Tuner Filter
FILTER_CAPTURE=DTV-DVBS 878 Digital Capture Filter
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=Output1

Hi Sub,

thanks a lot for the very fast reply and ... of course you solved my problem once again ;-)

GBPVR is an excellent product and I am looking forward to many other great releases. Donation is on it's way to kiwi land.
