Npvr + avc-3610

[Carlito]

Hey,
I've been wanting to get NPVR running since I"m still using GBPVR. I just installed the latest version and my AVC-3610 dual tuner is not showing up.
I also have a Hauppauge PVR-150 which shows up fine under devices.

Any suggestions on how to get NPVR to recognize the AVC-3610 dual tuner?

Thanks

You probably need to add a new entry in C:\Users\Public\NPVR\AnalogDevices.xml

Do you know which filter I would need to use?

[sub]

The name of the avc-3610's Capture filter.

I think this device's capture filter is called "Adaptec USB Capture Device"

[Carlito]

Thanks sub, I'll check that out.
I guess I forgot to upload the filtercheck log. I'll post it in this post anyway I guess...

This is what I used and it seems to work

Code:

<Device filter="Adaptec USB Capture Device">
        <Name>Adaptec AVC-3610</Name>
        <Type>HARD_ENCODE</Type>
        <FilterEncoder>Adaptec USB Capture Device</FilterEncoder>
   </Device>

my devices were in order of hauppage, adaptec, adaptec

as a test I went into live tv and saw a audio and video
I then moved the bottom adaptec device to the top and went to live tv and again saw video + audio.

Am I right in assuming the adaptec must be working now?

actually that only works because it doesn't work, so NPVR falls back to software encoding.

based on the filtercheck you posted, you want:

Code:

<Device filter="Adaptec USB Capture Device">
        <Name>Adaptec AVC-3610</Name>
        <Type>SOFT_ENCODE</Type>
   </Device>

i think he needs the ati version of filterchecker, as some Aver units also only show encoder in mux sections...
from what i could tell it's hardware encoding..
search for ati filterchecker and post that log...then should have necessary info..
here 'tis http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...post386360

i thought he updated filtercheck to that one for inclusion into npvr but i guess not..[didn't see any mux section in log]

[johnsonx42]

that's the one I have linked in the npvr sticky.

@carlito, re-run the filtercheck using the link in pBS's post. I'm pretty sure that the AnalogDevices.xml entry you used originally does not really work. well, maybe it does... I don't know. it doesn't seem likely that the capture device and encoder device have the same name, so I'm assuming that NPVR is just falling back to software encoding.
