NextPVR and Analog cards

[McBainUK]

Before the analog device configuration page and associated walkthrough on the wiki is updated we want to get the facts straight! Please post if anything sounds wrong

• NextPVR does not support analog tuner cards such as the ATI 550 pro or the Hauppauge 150 out of the box.
  
• In order to add support for these cards the easiest solution is to install download and install the latest version of WinTV7 from the Hauppauge support site. Note that the installer requires that you have an earlier WinTV CD available and have a supported Hauppauge device installed.
  
• For those that don't want to install the full Hauppauge WinTV suite or have lost their original CD, NextPVR users have reported they can download the latest WinTV7 release and extract and install only the required files using the instructions below.
  
• If you are running Windows 7 the commands will need to be run with elevated privileges (run as Admin).
  

1. Create the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\npvr\SoftPVR".
   
2. Download WinTV7 and copy i to this new folder.
   
3. Run this bat file (once run the WinTV7 installer can be d

Looks good, maybe use %PROGRAMFILES(X86)% in 64 bit and %PROGRAMFILES% in 32, I figure with SSD drives C drives will be separated more from "Program Files"

Technically seems fine. Possible slight typo though if it's going onto the wiki as a cut&paste??

Thanks all. Wiki updated - let me know if anything was lost in the transfer.

Dear all,

any batch file gurus out there

is there a way to wildcard the version of WinTV7 in the batch installer off the wiki:

to save editing it every time the v of WinTV7 changes? Just specific to v2 releases is great.

cheers

"%PROGRAMFILES%\NPVR\SoftPVR\wintv7_cd_2.2d.exe" /x %PROGRAMFILES%\NPVR\SoftPVR\temp1

If you mean the bit above then I would have thought

"%PROGRAMFILES%\NPVR\SoftPVR\wintv7_cd_*.exe" /x %PROGRAMFILES%\NPVR\SoftPVR\temp1

would do the job (untested)

Hi martin123,

thanks, yes I thought exactly the same myself but when I tested it it bombed on me. Will re-try, perhaps I rushed it and put something in where I shouldn't

hmmmm,

now lest we forget I should always steer clear of this stuff and just stick with the wiki every now and then I dip my toes somewhere else like now......

I could be doing something wrong but don't think so. The wildcard just ain't working. Errors basically indicate that it just is not extracting from the WinTv7 cd file......

I would be very happy to be proved wrong then I can scuttle back under my wiki rock

[martint123]

It is all a bit in the past when I played around... It could be possible that the wildcards are not expanded when within quotes......
I'll have a little play.........

edit:- Possibly wildcards don't work with executables ????? In which case copy wildcard .exe file to fixedname exe file and execute that!

I'm easily confused in my dotage and having been playing linux with it's more complex shell rules.

[martint123]

Ok - it looks like wildcard executables are a no-no.
But copying them does work.
so something like this would work (if messily).

COPY /B /Y WINTV7_CD_2*.EXE C:\TEMP\TEMPWINTV.EXE
C:\TEMP\TEMPWINTV.EXE (plus your options)
