Pinnacle PCTV 340e usb not found as analog tuner

[BlAdEs]

I live in Belgium.
Using NPVR 1.5.36 and it cannot find this tuner. My case doesn't support any PCI-e tuner like HVR2200 (micro case)
Attached log.
Do I need to add info in analogdevices.xml ? What should I add then ?
Need to load filter(s) ?

Please help me .

As mentioned in the sticky thread, analog support is only available when the SoftPVR components are available. These arent only your machine, so it's not looking for analog devices.

2010-12-24 17:21:30.826 [DEBUG][1] FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: MainConcept (HCW) MPEG-2 Video Encoder
2010-12-24 17:21:30.830 [DEBUG][1] FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: MainConcept (HCW) Layer II Audio Encoder
2010-12-24 17:21:30.830 [DEBUG][1] MainConcept encoders not present. Disabling soft encode analog support.

Once you do get the softpvr components on your machine, you would need to add an entry to analogdevice.xml for it to show up.

I regsvc32 the HCW_MCMPEG2MUX.AX file. The other 2: HCW_MCL2AE.AX and HCW_MCM2VE.AX give errors when trying to.
It is a pinnacle PCTV card, so I cannot just run the hauppauge setup; says it cannot find card and cannot install drivers.

Can you go little deeper in help ?
Tnx

Sorry, I'm not expert in manually getting these components on your machine. I remember some other threads discussing it in the past though, so they might give some useful clues.

you need to have the hcw_mcmpgvout.001,002,003 files and 2 .dll's in the same dir when trying to register the .ax files...they depend on those to function..

Try adding this to your AnalogDevices.xml:

Code:

    <Device filter="PCTV DiB BDA Analog Capture (Dev1 Path2)">
        <Name>Pinnacle PCTV 340e </Name>
        <Type>SOFT_ENCODE</Type>
    </Device>

Hi sub

Thanks.
It worked with this code thanks to your explanation:

Code:

<Device filter="PCTV DiB BDA Analog Capture (Dev1 Path2)">
        <Name>PCTV Hybrid Pro Stick (340e)</Name>
        <Type>HARD_ENCODE</Type>
        <FilterEncoder>PPCTV DiB BDA Analog TV Tuner (Dev1 Path2)</FilterEncoder>
    </Device>
