FM Radio - HVR-955Q - Win10

[bourret.brandon]

Hello all. I'm in the United States using NPVR 5.0.3 (200415) on Windows 10 Pro (up to date) with Hauppauge WinTV HVR-955Q hardware. LAV codecs have been installed.

I'm trying to use the hardware's FM radio feature in NPVR and having no luck. I can confirm that the hardware does support FM radio because it works in Hauppauge's own WinTV application. However, I don't want to use Hauppauge WinTV because it's very buggy. This is why I've come to NPVR.

In NPVR 4, I was able to see my HVR-955Q as both a digital and analog device. I was able to manually add FM radio stations, but I was not able to play them (I received some error that I can't recall off hand).

In NPVR 5, my HVR-955Q only shows as a digital device with no option to add FM radio stations at all.

I'm not picky about runninng NPVR 4 or 5. I don't care. All I really want is some guidance as to how I can get FM radio working with my HVR-955Q hardware on NPVR 4/5.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

There is no analog support (including FM radio) built in to v5. You can do it, but it requires a bit of extra work with manual script files etc.

v4 should work with your radio device. Do you remember what the error you received in v4 said?

Well damn! I uninstalled NPVR 5, reinstalled SoftPVR from WinTV 8.5 source (instead of WinTV 10 source), reinstalled NPVR 4, manually added an FM station, and it WORKS!

So maybe my screw up was installing SoftPVR from WinTV 10 in the first place.

Well I'd like to thank those who replied so quickly! Thank you very much!
