jarrodrporter Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Thank you tw1965. It wasn't the now/next so much as the detailed program info that was annoying. Copying the new wizard now makes DTV remote work under BDA setting. It's fantastic that Leadtek are commited to upgrades - It makes me confident of my decision. Regards, Jarrod.
darkfalz Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Did you report my HyperThreading/Dual processors bug, tw1965?
ocujos Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 tw1965, I'm trying to use the supplied remote for Leadtek card to control Media Portal. Do you know if this remote is the same as the one that comes with Leadtek Winfast 2000XP? If it is, I could use uICE or Girder to control MP.
tw1965 Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 Did you report my HyperThreading/Dual processors bug, tw1965? It will be fixed in the next version of WFWIZ.EXE. Coming soon.
tw1965 Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 ocujos, The remote control is the same one. CoolCommand I : 27 Keys (Yellow) CoolCommand II : 41 Keys (Blue) CoolCommand III : 49 Keys (White) The receiver interface is NOT the same. It means that the DTV1000 must be supported in the uICE Device Driver. But it does not. Try the "TV2000 XP Expert" Grider plugin : http://nolanparty.com/mediaportal.sourcefo...opic.php?t=3613 There are two Girder plugin for the "TV2000 XP Expert". One is version 1.5 by bbennefeld (25-Mar-2005), the other is unknown version by Mike C (15-Mar-2004). http://www.promixis.com/downloads.php?mode...der&lucCode=800
tw1965 Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 They both should work, but as long as one does that is enough They both work in the Windows XP SP2. But only TinyUSB2.DLL works in MCE2005 Emerald. The error message is "Error creating network provider". I guess that the DVBT networkType is not the 0x0008 in MCE2005 Emerald. enum NETWORK_TYPE{ NT_DVBT = 0x0008 }; int BDAGraph::LoadTuningSpace() { HRESULT hr; CComPtr <ITuningSpaceContainer> pTuningSpaceContainer; /* create instance of tuning space container */ if (FAILED((hr=pTuningSpaceContainer.CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SystemTuningSpaces)))) { ErrorBox("Cannot create tuning space container"); return 1; } /* retrieve the tuning space we are after by ID */ if (FAILED((hr=pTuningSpaceContainer->get_Item(CComVariant(networkType), &pTuningSpace)))) { ErrorBox("Cannot find tuning space"); return 1; } return 0; }
joeybloggs Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Save this as tuningspace.reg and import it into your registry Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Tuning Spaces\8] @="{C6B14B32-76AA-4A86-A7AC-5C79AAF58DA7}" "Name"="DVB-T" "Description"="Local DVB-T Digital Antenna" "Network Type"="{216C62DF-6D7F-4E9A-8571-05F14EDB766A}" "Frequency Mapping"=hex: "System Type"=dword:00000001 "Network ID"=dword:ffffffff [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Tuning Spaces\8\Default Locator] @="{9CD64701-BDF3-4D14-8E03-F12983D86664}" "Frequency"=dword:ffffffff "InnerFECMethod"=dword:ffffffff "InnerFECRate"=dword:ffffffff "OuterFECMethod"=dword:ffffffff "OuterFECRate"=dword:ffffffff "ModulationType"=dword:ffffffff "SymbolRate"=dword:ffffffff "Bandwidth"=dword:ffffffff "LPInnerFECMethod"=dword:ffffffff "LPInnerFECRate"=dword:ffffffff "HierarchyAlpha"=dword:ffffffff "GuardInterval"=dword:ffffffff "TransmissionMode"=dword:ffffffff "OtherFrequencyInUse"=dword:00000000
renura Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Save this as tuningspace.reg and import it into your registry Maybe that is why in my case both work, I have that already
tw1965 Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 joeybloggs, It works now. Thank you.
darkfalz Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I surely would like someone to write a driver for the remote control via uICE or whatever, then I could use it in Media Player... or if WinFast DTV better supported playing back files (ie. in main window with overlay) that would be just as good

tw1965 Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 For those people who want to write the uICE device driver of DTV1000; please refer to the following document : http://myweb.hinet.net/home14/tw1965/CoolCommand.zip

I guess I don't need remote controlling other things.
jarrodrporter Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Has any one else used the analogue in very much? Quality good - on par with TV2000XP (v1). BEST OF ALL... If you put DTV into analogue input source, then open another DTV window (which defaults back to digital signals) you suddenly have both analogue in and live digital tv at the same time!!!!!!! Same deal as LifeView's "MST: Multiple Streaming Technology". Does not work with analogue/digital PIP yet though, but 2 windows is fine. (Don't open digital/digital PIP plus analogue - it dies). You can also have WinFastPVR do the analogue while DTV is doing digital. On my P4 2.8E + ATI R9600XT, CPU increases from about 20% to 30%. tw1965 Please don't disable this - it's great! and should be advertised. Do you want us all to continue reporting bugs? Jarrod
jarrodrporter Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Analogue Quality's good - on par with TV2000XP (v1). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually it's better - but then again my 3 year old TV1000XP is only 8 bit - is DTV 10? WinfastPVR for the analogue is a bit easier to use too, with correct aspect ratios. DTV seems well on the way for digital (despite some setting combinations being redundant), but has problems with analogue - eg. I couldn't get a 16:9 input to display correctly on a 4:3 fullscreen - I couldn't get horizontal bars - but not really a problem. Yes... I know there's so many possible setup requirements.....
darkfalz Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 By the way tw1965 do you know if any of the other card's DTV software works with the WinFast?
tw1965 Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 Do you want us all to continue reporting bugs? Yes, of course. WinFast PVR will support all the analog TV and analog video inputs of Leadtek TV cards; even the hybrid and dual TV cards. WinFast DTV will support hybrid and dual TV card. It means that WinFast DTV should have all the WinFast PVR's functions plus DTV functions. DTV software works with the DTV1000 : - MyTheatre v3.27 http://www.dvbcore.com/ - ShowShifter 3.12.2945 http://www.showshifter.com - CyberLink PowerCinema 4 - ArcSoft TotalMedia http://www.arcsoft.com/products/totalmedia/?l=v - ... The DTV card WinFast DTV works with (BDA driver with "WinFast" FriendlyName) : - Compro Videomate DVB-T300 - Compro Videomate DVB-T200 - KWorld DVB-T 220 - KWorld DVB-T 100 - Lifeview FlyDVB-T Duo - Lifeview Q DVB-T (USB 2.0) - AverMedia AVerTV Hybrid+FM Cardbus (AverMedia E506) - TwinhanDTV Mini Ter - UltraViewHDTV DVB-T Plus - ... - All the DTV cards which uses the BDA driver. But the remote control support is not considered.
tw1965 Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 WinFast Wizard is the software of Leadtek Remote Controller. And it only supports the WinFast DTV, WinFast PVR, PowerDVD 6 and WinDVD5 so far. When a remote control button is pressed, WinFast Wizard first find which software is running, and send the remote code to the software. If none of these software is running, WinFast Wizard does nothing. What if, sends the remote code to the current Window which gets the input focus ?

digitalize Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 The DTV card WinFast DTV works with (BDA driver with "WinFast" FriendlyName) :- Compro Videomate DVB-T300 - Compro Videomate DVB-T200 - KWorld DVB-T 220 - KWorld DVB-T 100 - Lifeview FlyDVB-T Duo - Lifeview Q DVB-T (USB 2.0) - AverMedia AVerTV Hybrid+FM Cardbus (AverMedia E506) - TwinhanDTV Mini Ter - UltraViewHDTV DVB-T Plus Excuse my ignorance, but why are you telling people to edit the registry to get this software to work with other cards? If you want to genuinely share why not make the application recognize all other cards, like Webscheduler, Mytheatre and Digitalwatch do? I feel like I am stealing if I do what you suggest and change the registry to fool the software in believing I a have a Winfast card? Not to mention the fact that then it may not work with its proper software.
tw1965 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 digitalize, It is Leadtek strategy (so far): - The WinFast DTV is not protected before 2.0.1.32 (mass production version). -The "WinFast" FriendlyName registry method may not work in the further version of WinFast DTV. It only works on the promotion version. - WinFast DTV will support all BDA devices so long as one Leadtek device exists WinFast DTV will check the PCI card's SSID and USB's UID/PID in the further version
j4play Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 a few questions (and then some!)...what are the minimum requirements to use HD smoothly? i'm running an athlon xp2600, 512mb ram, geforce4 ti4200. playback is very jerky on 10hd, unwatchable. also, SD looks a bit blocky. can something like ffdshow be used to perform interpolation? i'm using vmr9 with hardware accel off. i'm assuming hardware accel refers to dvxa (which the ti4200 doesn't have). with hardware accel on, it makes things slightly worse anyway. also, with vmr9, i notice that the submenu (brought up with rightclick) flickers (also does this in theatre tek). and some more questions...... in full screen mode, my control panel is offset to the left. how can i correct this? if i try and use the intervideo codec, my machine hangs and i have to reboot (don't know if i have codec installed correctly, but it still should hang!). okay, that'll do for now! thanks for any help. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> j4play,Try the latest WHQL driver 78.01 If you are using the nForce2 MB, update the latest nForce driver 5.10 : http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_udp_winxp_5.10 ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/nForce/...ternational.exe Please refer to the following thread for the "NVIDIA AGP card is running at PCI mode issue and solution": http://www.tv-cards.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?p=41416 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hmm... i tried installing lastest nvidia drivers (78.01) but this didn't change much. i pretty sure blockyness of SD programs was resolved (was somewhat subtle issue), but HD still won't run smooth. Could this be a reception issue? i'm getting 4 or 5 stars for reception, and 10SD is fine, but 10HD is stopping and starting. actually, even if i record 10HD, playback isn't improved. i'm running 1200x1024x75hz (or whichever res is closest to that). motherboard is a a7v8x.. control panel in full screen is still offset to the left. i tried a geforce fx5200 card as well, and this didn't improve things, but then i'm pretty sure this card doesn't support dvxa. any suggestions what i should try next?
tw1965 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 j4play, Could you check the card (FX5200 ot Ti4200) is running at AGP from the NVIDIA control panel ? For example (GeForce 6200 is running at AGP 8x): http://www.oc.com.tw/article/0505/imgs/win...6200agp-015.jpg PS. Both TI4200 and FX5200 support DXVA. Make sure that the VIA 4 in 1 driver is v4.49 or later. The latest VIA Hyperion 4in1 drivers version 4.56v : http://downloads.viaarena.com/drivers/4in1...04in1_v456v.zip
j4play Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 wow, thanks for quick reply. pretty sure card is running agp, but will double check when i get home tonight. will also install latest via drivers. as for ti4200 and fx5200 supporting dxva, well i'm no guru, but everything i've read states the opposite. i think it does some of the colour processing on board, but the not the iDCT (or something along those lines). but i hope you're right j4play,Could you check the card (FX5200 ot Ti4200) is running at AGP from the NVIDIA control panel ?

jarrodrporter Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 tw1965, A few more things I've noticed - nothing serious though, and most are obvious. Forcing P&S cuts off everything including Leadtek's 'program information display' Channel surf shows needs an option to use only the favourites list (maybe in the right click?). Snapshots are always taken in 4:3 verticlly strectched. When in PIP mode, the volume control OSD stops displaying. This really only needs to be displayed when the control panel is not displayed. There is no mute OSD. Playback speed indicators show in main window for POP playback, and the wrong side for PAP. They also show with image files if those buttons on remote are pressed (32x playback for a still?). There seems no way to change the ratio of the PIP window. [For live 16:9 x2, the smaller window is streched verticlly slightly (as it is in channel surf). With recorded 16:9 video, going into fullscreen mode adds bars to both the main image and the PIP.] When opening files, .ts does not appear in "video" dropdown list choice. When capturing all streams in a .ts how do I change between subchannels during playback? Can I increase the audio volume of these recordings?
