need help w/ direct.ini for Yuan MPG600

[barryland]

I have a revision 2 Yuan MPG600 (the purple one). I am trying to make this work in GBPVR but am having little or no success.
The section of my direct.ini that I have cobbled together by guesswork and with the help of this thread;

http://gbpvr.com/cgi-bin....hl=yuan

looks like this;

[Python 2]
FILTER_CROSSBAR=Python 2 Crossbar
FILTER_CAPTURE=Python 2 Capture
FILTER_TV_TUNER=Python 2 TV Tuner
FILTER_TV_AUDIO=Python 2 TV Audio
FILTER_ENCODER=Python 2 Encoder
PIN_CROSSBAR_VIDEO_TUNER_IN=Video Tuner In
PIN_TVTUNER_ANALOG_VIDEO_OUT=Analog Video
PIN_TVTUNER_ANALOG_AUDIO_OUT=Analog Audio
PIN_TVAUDIO_TV_AUDIO_IN=TVAudio In
PIN_TVAUDIO_TV_AUDIO_OUT=TVAudio Out
PIN_CROSSBAR_AUDIO_TUNER_IN=Audio Tuner In
PIN_CROSSBAR_VIDEO_DECODER_OUT=Video Decoder Out
PIN_CAPTURE_ANALOG_VIDEO_IN=Analog Video In
PIN_CROSSBAR_AUDIO_DECODER_OUT=Audio Decoder Out
PIN_CAPTURE_ANALOG_AUDIO_IN=Analog Audio In
PIN_CAPTURE_I2S_OUT=Video YUV
PIN_CAPTURE_656_OUT=Audio PCM
PIN_ENCODER_I2S_IN=Video YUV
PIN_ENCODER_656_IN=Audio PCM
PIN_ENCODER_OUT=Video/Muxed Out
PIN_WRITER_INPUT_IN=Input

I am particularly unsure of evrything above that includes the word "ENCODER". That was just guesswork.

As per the thread above, I also reregistered the three dll's listed. And rebooted the machine after changes were made.

The only output I get when I select LiveTV is a black screen if I turn on VMR instead of Overlay. (I am using the cyberlink dvd decoder and encoder)

If you look carefully at the other entries in direct.ini you'll see there is two types. I suspect you started with the wrong one. The one you've used is for card based on the blackbird reference architecture, and I suspect you need to start with the other one (not %100 sure mind you). Maybe start from the [Hauppauge PVR250/PVR350] one, which doesn't require any settings for the encoder.

I went back to direct.ini and changed the lines for Python 2 to

[Python 2]
FILTER_CROSSBAR=Python 2 Crossbar
FILTER_CAPTURE=Python 2 Capture Device
FILTER_TV_TUNER=Python 2 TvTuner
FILTER_TV_AUDIO=Python 2 TvAudio
PIN_CROSSBAR_VIDEO_TUNER_IN=Video Tuner In
PIN_TVTUNER_ANALOG_VIDEO_OUT=Analog Video
PIN_TVTUNER_ANALOG_AUDIO_OUT=Analog Audio
PIN_TVAUDIO_TV_AUDIO_IN=TVAudio In
PIN_TVAUDIO_TV_AUDIO_OUT=TVAudio Out
PIN_CROSSBAR_AUDIO_TUNER_IN=Audio Tuner In
PIN_CROSSBAR_VIDEO_DECODER_OUT=Video Decoder Out
PIN_CAPTURE_ANALOG_VIDEO_IN=Analog Video In
PIN_CROSSBAR_AUDIO_DECODER_OUT=Audio Decoder Out
PIN_CAPTURE_ANALOG_AUDIO_IN=Analog Audio In
PIN_CAPTURE_CAPTURE_OUT=Capture
PIN_WRITER_INPUT_IN=Input


The pins named above match the Graph I built in Graphedit. Still getting nothing but black, no audio either.

Can zip and email over all the log files in c:\program files\devnz\gbpvr? One of these lists any connections that have failed.

Would love to but can't attach files in forum webmail. PM me your email address and I'll send 'em straight away.

One Other thing, is it necessary to reregister the dll's everytime you make a change or was that advice specific to the Adaptec

[sub]

Just send it to support@devnz.com

You shouldn't need to re-register any dlls.

Thanks to Sub, thanks for letting me waste your time, I now have video on Live TV.

So for anyone else this is the direct.ini additions I made for the Yuan MPG600 capture card. Also turning off SBE in the settings helps.

Only one problem left tuning the channels. But after all the mucking around getting it to work at all, I'm happy just to watch static for a little while.
