Success: Hauppuage WinTv HVR-950 analog with 1.3.7

[pvruser]

1. Install the SoftMCE application from the Hauppauge Driver CD or get it from their web site.

2a. import HRC (cable) frequency overrides into registry hrc_frequency.reg from here:
http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/ENG/Support/...&SCATID=44

2. Place the following section into the direct.ini file (i hope it gets into the next version):

Code:

3. add the analog source, select the channels and you're good to go.

hm ok upon closer look - it only works in live preview mode and has no sound. analog recordings will not write to a file at all... but it's a start hopefully the next version will work out of the box

That would make sense since you commented out the PIN_CAPTURE_PREVIEW_AUDIO_OUT and PIN_CAPTURE_CAPTURE_OUT lines.

i uncommented those with still no results. i think its from this:

"Hauppauge WinTV 88x Audio Capture" is not part of my driver... i checked the install disk too. if i remove "ARCHITECTURE=88X" then it wont work at all (blinks and returns to the menu) and i'm assuming that's what's causing the "88x Audio Capture" to be called. the problem is that the architecture of this device really is 28x but that value doesnt work... i also attached the interface logs.

i fixed it and it's stupid! the line "FILTER_CAPTURE_AUDIO=" needs to be there. i thought it's ugly and removed it from the 900 model i've used... now it also records to the files. so full functionality restored.

Post the complete ini entry and sub will add it to the next release so nothing breaks on the upgrade. Wrap it in the "Code" tag.

If anyone remembers - bump the thread in a couple of weeks (when I'm back in NZ) and I'll add it to the master file.
