WinTvCap3.0

[KevinKiller]

Well,

After too many years and a few late nights here is WinTvCap3.0

It supports all the known PVR250/350/150/500 hardware.

I've just tested a quick-n-dirty ota broadcast so I'm not sure if the Composite/SVideo stuff works on the 150/500 cards. 

Try it out and let me know.

Next up: IR-Blaster support within WinTvCap for the 150/500 cards.

P.S. Look at that tiny, tiny text just below this line ... you'll see the WinTvCap30aBin.zip attachment.

[KevinKiller]

Ok,

After a little more hacking here is a version that supports all the Hauppauge Analog cards:  PVR250,PVR350,PVR150,PVR500mce,PVR150lp,HVR1600,HVR1800

Enjoy.

Again, notice the little tiny text for the attachment just below this line.

Thanks.
Now I just have to figure out how to use it with multiple cards. Even though I've been using it for years, I've never had two cards in a system before. (multiple PCs) Looking at the old wintvcap.htm file, I was wondering about a couple of things.
Do 254 and 255 still point to Composite and S-Video inputs?
Excuse my ignorance, but is there a way to determine board number? Or do I run it once and look in the log file? (A quick search of the 250 forum didn't turn anything up)

[zaphod7501]

The log file does indicate the tuner number. I need to start testing the video inputs.
What would be the c# for the second line inputs?  Or have you gotten that far yet?

[KevinKiller]

Ok,

I didn't realize that the values of the VideoProcAmp (i.e. Brightness, Sharpness, etc.) have different values and ranges between the three types of cards.

I've fixed up WinTvCap30 to handle the various cases.  Now if you're unhappy with the driver default settings for these parameters you can change them by using a section in the WinTvCap30.ini file.  In the old days when I only supported the iVAC cards there was a single section called [PROCAMP].   Now there are 3 (three): one for each class of card.  The different classes of cards are [PVR250,PVR350], [PVR150,PVR500MCE,PVR150lp], [HVR1600,HVR1800].  The new default section names are [PROCAMP.iVAC], [PROCAMP.Amity2], and [PROCAMP,Xbar418] respectively.  This means that you, YES YOU THE USER, will have to make sure you use  the correct name when using the -procamp: command-line parameter such that the -board: you picked matches the right class of PROCAMP.  Note: There's no magical reason for only having these 3 (three) default sections.  You can add as many as you like and just use them by passing their names to the -procamp: parameter.  For instance, I used to have one called StarTrek that jumped up the brightness for that show since I thought the space scenes were too dark.  You can even change their names to something more manageable if you like; for instance [PROCAMP250], [PROCAMP150], and [PROCAMP1800] if those are the cards you've got installed in your computer.

Do 254 and 255 still point to Composite and S-Video inputs?

Yes, channel 255=SVideo1, 254=Composite1, 253=SVideo2, and 252=Composite2. 

I have tested that Composite2 works on the HVR-1600 card.  I haven't gotten around to swapping my Hauppage external header onto the different cards to see they work yet.

I'm not really happy with the way that worked out.  It would be better to use channels like: -c SVideo1 instead of -c:255, but that is the way Hauppauge's WinTv program did it and I just cloned it's command line parameters.  I did that so you could use the Hauppauge Scheduler with my program if you wanted to.

Excuse my ignorance, but is there a way to determine board number? Or do I run it once and look in the log file? (A quick search of the 250 forum didn't turn anything up)

Yes that's pretty much the only way you can tell what board goes to what card. ( F.Y.I.  The order the filters appear in the "WDM Streaming Audio Devices" list in GraphEdit determines the board order. )

P.S. Again, look at that tiny, tiny, text just below this line.

[zaphod7501]

Thanks again.
My 'ini files tended to get pretty large as I experimented with settings.  :D

I also have a huge stash of "scheduled tasks" since I don't let them delete when finished.
A few tweaks and an old task can be reused without having to rewrite a long command line.
Some other hints for beginners:
If using a digital converter box, you can probably crank UP the sharpness control.
If using a digital converter box, you might want to have custom audio levels for specific channels.
Recordings can be set up or changed from other networked PCs without using a remote desktop program.

Regarding converter boxes, the good ones (Echostar TR40) aren't available yet but that one (and hopefully others) have a built in VCR timer.

Regarding the video inputs, I believe that there are 4 video choices but only 2 audio connections so you can't hook up 4 devices, just 2.

[KevinKiller]

This means that you, YES YOU THE USER, will have to make sure you use  the correct name when using the -procamp: command-line parameter such that the -board: you picked matches the right class of PROCAMP.

Well I did some more thinking on this issue and I realized that I can pickup the correct default [PROCAMP.xxx] section by looking at the board you've chosen to record on.

You NO LONGER have to use the -procamp: parameter if you don't want to.  Just change the values in WinTvCap30.ini file for each card type and I'll use the new values by default depending which board you've selected to record on.

Remember you still CAN use the -procamp: parameter if you want to  (Remember my [StarTrek] example from my previous post?) but you don't HAVE to.

I'm not really happy with the way that worked out.  It would be better to use channels like: -c SVideo1 instead of -c:255

I just realized WinTvCap30 has a way to solve this already.  The [PRESETS] section! I've added SVideo1,SVideo2,Composite1,Composite2 to the default [PRESETS] section in the WinTvCap30.ini file.  Now you should be able to: 

WinTvCap30 -pSVideo1 -startr:show.mpg

Now don't forget.  There can be NO SPACE between the -p and the preset.  i.e.  -p SVideo1 will NOT work!

Ok,

I remembered that SHS gave me an account I could use to distribute WinTvCap so I've uploaded the releases and removed the prior postings attachment.

Is there any chance of support being added for the new HVR-2200?  Its based on the Philips 7164e.

[KevinKiller]

DrP,

We could try it but there's no way I can know if it will work or not since I don't own one and even if I did, I don't get DVB-T signals here in the USA.

In order to try it you need to get your Vendor, Device, and Subsys ids for you card, then find the hauppauge .inf file that contains those numbers.  From there we can try to setup some lines in the [BOARD] and [XBAR.???] sections of the .ini file and see if we can get WinTvCap to recognize it.

To find your VEN,DEV,SUBSYS number right-click on your "My Computer" icon, select properties, then the Hardware tab, then the Device Manager button, click the plus (+) sign next to the Sound, Video, and Game controllers section and right click your HVR-2200 card, choose Properites and the the Details tab, and then choose Device Instance Id from the combo list.  Click on the line that appears, hit Ctrl-C and then come here and hit Ctrl-V to paste it into this message.

For example here's the line from my SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC device:

HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7690&SUBSYS_102801DE&REV_1022\4&7ADDD11&0&0001

I was more interested in the analogue side.  The card is capable of many formats in hardware - MPEG1, 2, 4 and VC1 for video and MP2, MP3, AAC and AC3 for audio, but MPEG2 and MP2 ability would be good enough for a starting point.  DVB-t support is easy enough via any BDA capable program so there's no real need to look at that aspect.

Ok,

I've added those three devices into WinTvCap.  I don't expect things to work, but I do expect WinTvCap to recognize the card.

First off, I have no idea what kind of filters this driver registers with DirectShow.

Second, I don't know how to construct a capture graph using these filters.

Third, I don't know what the crossbar pins are and how to configure them for OTA TV, SVideo, and Composite

Lastly, I don't know what the valid and default values are for the VideoProcAmp interface on the capture filter.

So, how do we deal with these things ...

Download the new WinTvCap30eBin.zip file attached to this message.

Get a copy of GraphEdit.exe (from the DirectX SDK, google is your friend), run it, and Choose the Graph Menu Item, then Insert Filters and a window pops up.  Look for filters under the 'WDM Streaming Capture Devices', 'WDM Streaming Crossbar Devices' 'WDM Streaming Encoder Devices', 'WDM Streaming Tv Audio Devices' and 'WDM Streaming TvTuner Devices" that match your card.  (Note: You may not find one under the Capture Devices category).   Insert each you found into the Graph and spread them out such that each graph can be seen.  Now take a screen snapshot by hitting Alt-PrintScreen and post it here. (see http://graphicssoft.about.com/cs/general/ht/winscreenshot.htm)

Run:

WinTvCap -c1 -startr:test.mpg -limit:1

and post the log file here.

Ok,

I went and pulled the PVR-USB2 off my shelf that I bought 3 years ago.

After much trial and tribulation I got the drivers installed then added support to it to WinTvCap.

Here's the new release with PVR-USB2 support: http://www.shspvr.com/~kevinkiller/WinTvCap30fBin.zip

K.

[DrP]

I've added those three devices into WinTvCap.  I don't expect things to work, but I do expect WinTvCap to recognize the card.

There many streaming encoder devices for the card:
AAC AES encoder
ASF encoder/mux
AVI encoder/mux
LPCM AES encoder
MP3 AES encoder
MPEG1 L2 AES encoer
MPEG1 VES encoder
MPEG2 PS encoder/mux
MPEG2 TS encoder/mux
MPEG2 VES encoder
Quicktime encoder/mux

I've chosen the MPEG2 PS encoder/mux in graphedt.

I was more interested in the analogue side.  The card is capable of many formats in hardware - MPEG1, 2, 4 and VC1 for video and MP2, MP3, AAC and AC3 for audio, but MPEG2 and MP2 ability would be good enough for a starting point.  DVB-t support is easy enough via any BDA capable program so there's no real need to look at that aspect.

I take that this is a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2200 Pal ver you lucky dog being the US ver 2250 is still not even out
