Problem configuring Black Gold GDI

[Frazzle]

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

Going to the config.exe-log I find the following:
24/09/2005 16:01:37.609 ERROR [7] Error starting preview window: Failed to locate configured BDA capture device
24/09/2005 16:01:37.609 ERROR [7] at NativeUtilities.BDARecorder.StartRecording(String cardType, Int32 board, String filename, IntPtr hwnd, String tuningRequest, Int32 lnbLOF1, Int32 lnbSwitch, Int32 lnbLOF2, Int32 diseqc, Boolean powered, Boolean previewMode)

SO I decided to check the BDA.ini file to find the settings for the BlackGold GDI card, here they are:


[Blockgold GDI]
TUNING_TYPE=DVB-T
FILTER_TUNER=Genesis BDA Tuner
FILTER_CAPTURE=Genesis BDA Transport Capture
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=MPEG2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=MPEG2 Transport


When I go to the device manager, under "Sound, video game controllers" I find the following:
Audio Codecs
Black Gold Signature BDA TS Capture
Black Gold Signature CrossBar
Black Gold Signature InfraRed Decoder
Black Gold Signature Tv/Radio Tuner
Black Gold Signature Video Capture
C-Media AC97 Audio Device
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
MEDION (7134) WDM Video Capture
MEDION TV-TUNER 7134 MK2/3
Video Codecs

As you can see I have a factory fitted analogue tuner, the Medion device based on the Phillips SAA 7134 chipset, I hope this isn't interfering with anything.
I thought the issue was the fact that the BDA.ini file referred to a BDA driver that was named differently. So, I changed the BDA.ini file to refer to the Black Gold Signature BDA TS Capture driver I discovered by looking at the Device Manager.

Unfortunatley this didn't appear to work, and I got the same error message ( failed to locate capture device) can anyone help?

Also what is the device number in the BDA Device COnfiguration panel, is this the PCI slot number or just the device count of the Black Gold GDI card?

Any help is greatly appreciated, this is my first install of GB-PVR and I have searched the forums, please help I have worked on this for about 5 hours so far

Thnaks in Advance.

Has anyone else configured the Black Gold GDI card to work with GB-PVR?

[Frazzle]

Just found out that the Black Gold GDI card is configured in one of 2 ways, although this isn't clear at all from the Black Gold site. Either Microsoft MCE edition compatible ( this means BDA drivers) or Windows XP compatible (WDM drivers).

Obviously the Windows XP compatible version doesn't work with GBPVR, there is a utility that allows you to flash the firmware to the other version. This is available from download swapper here

This fixes the problem and allows a WDM version card to be converted to a BDA driver card and therefore used by GBPVR.
