Support for Mercury Ez View TV Tuner

[knappebr]

I recently purchased a Mercury EZ View tuner (Conexant CX 23881)
<http://www.mercury-pc.com/product-detail.php?link=p-cards&subtitle=Add-On%20Cards&productid=653>
and I am hoping to use GB-PVR as a replacement for the awful PVR software that came with the card.

When using the tuning assistant, if I select Conexant Blackbird, I get popups
"ConnectPins failed!"
followed by
"Failed to connect pinNameCrossbarAudioDecoderOut to pinNameCaptureAnalogAudioIn"
It then successfully scans through the channels (picture looks good) but there is no sound.

If I select any other card, I get the message "Failed to find Crossbar filter. Wrong device type?"

If I try to watch live TV from GB-PVR I get a Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library message.
"Debug Assertion Failed!
Program ...GBPVRRecordingService.exe
File: ...Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2003\Vc7\atlmfc\include\atlcomcli.h
Line 150
Expression: p!=0"
If I click Ignore, I get a message "No tuners available..."

Is it likely that I will get GB-PVR to work with this card? Should I use a software encoder instead of Direct Recording Plugin?

Does that card have a Hardware encoder? It doesn't look like it. You might need to use the Software Recorder Plugin http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Plugi...reRecorder
