Avermedia m791

[lorddemios]

I just bought a refurbished Gateway machine(http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...0257436737) to use as my new GBPVR machine. Unfortunately, the tv card that comes with it is a Avermedia m791 and it does not appear to be supported by GBPVR. I've tried following the instructions for "unsupported cards" in the wiki:

http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Hardw...aptureCard

I have not had any success yet. I know the card works because it works in Media Center. I've attached my logs and my direct.ini file with the hopes that someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Can you run the filtercheck.exe utility from the gbpvr directory, then zip and attach the filtercheck.log that gets created.

Sub,

Thanks for the quick reply! Here are the results from filtercheck.

Add the following to the bda.ini and it should get the digital side going:

Code:

[AVerMedia M791 (Digital)]
TUNING_TYPE=ATSC
FILTER_TUNER=AVerMedia 23888 BDA Tuner/Demod
PIN_TUNER_IN=Input0
PIN_TUNER_OUT=MPEG2 Transport
FILTER_CAPTURE=AVerMedia 23888 AVStream TS Capture
PIN_CAPTURE_IN=Mpeg2 Transport
PIN_CAPTURE_OUT=Mpeg2 Transport

I've tried the above with no luck. I'm seeing the following error in the logs:

Try changing these lines:

PIN_CAPTURE_656_OUT=656
PIN_ENCODER_656_IN=656

Well at least I'm getting a different error...

Here is my current direct.ini for reference. I forgot to include it in my last post.
