No luck. The batch file creates the folders properly but problem comes when the files extraction takes place, so I doubt it's a permission issue.

Place the WinTV executable in "c:\temp" along with SoftPVR.bat and replace it with this text:

Thanks. This worked! Though my analog TV device still isn't showing in the devices - no rest for the weary! Its a 713x TV Card

Run Filtercheck.exe (as administrator) located in the NextPVR program folder and zip and attach the resulting filtercheck.log

Attached. Thanks!!

Can anyone help. Thanks

[Reddwarf]

Do you have this section in your AnalogDevices.xml:

Code:

    <Device filter="713x BDA Analog Capture">
        <Name>713x Analog</Name>
        <Type>SOFT_ENCODE</Type>
    </Device>

If so, it should have showed up in your device list because it is present in your FilterCheck.log. I think you'll have to start NextPVR.exe, go into Settings->Devices, exit and zip and post npvr.log so we can see what it actually finds.

[johnsonx42]

sounds like you didn't really get softpvr installed correctly, but the log Reddwarf asked for will tell the story.

Here is the LOG file. I uninstalled NextPVR completely. Then reinstalled it, updated the patches etc and then retried but still the same:
