Cant Timeshift Or Record In Media Portal - Stream Buffer Sink Filter

[icanfly77]

Hi i am hoping someone can help me.

I am loving media portal but i Can't get timeshift or recording working and it seems to be all tied to errors with the stream buffer sink source and unable to connect to mpg2 pin.

Normal tv watching is fine but when trying to start time shift or record I get these errors.

I am running vista 32 and I am able to record and time shift fine in media centre using Microsoft codecs for video and sound but how do you tell Media Portal what stream filters to use?

Should I or Can I install a third party stream filter?

Is there someway to diagnose if Media Portal is getting access errors when trying to use the Microsoft stream buffer?

Are you able to reinstall the Micrrsoft filter?

I just Can't seem to find any troubleshooting on my problems running Dvico Fusion Dual 4 tuner AMD x2 4400 2gb ram latest version of Media Portal and tearing hair out!

Please if someone can provide any hints tips about these filter, I Can't even find how you can see what filters and codecs are installed on my system, in XP you were able to see these in device manager under sound video controllers but they are not there in vista

Thanks

I have had this problem before but can't remember the exact solution.

Firstly, does MP detect the TV card?

If so, have you added any extra channels? (eg CVBS/SVHS) - if so, try deleting them

Have you assigned the channels to the TV tuners/cards?

If none of that works, delete all the channels and re-scan.

Hope it helps.
