VLC cann't find the USB DVB-T ,How to do ?

[tommychina]

can anyone help me ?
i have successed to compile the VLC.But i cann't find the hardware of the USB DVB-T .if anybody can help fix the question, i would appreciate you .

[DJ]

VLC uses the Direct Show Driver that came with your Capture Device to access that device. The setup is in Open capture device.

You may need other utilities like Graph Edit to confirm that the Direct Show drivers were included in the install and they are working.

Dear DJ:

i have been sure about the DIRECT SHOW DRIVER to be installed.
and they are worked great too.but i use the VLC to find the USB device ,it was show the "no capture device was detected".please help me,thank you .

[DJ]

Does it see your sound card??

Did you compile the module?

I fine that most times the driver that is installed may not be Direct Show compatible. That is why I recommend Graph Edit.

RE Dear DJ:

I have seen the sound card.
I have compiled the module successly.
In the GRAPH EDIT. I can found the driver compatible.but I run the VLC program,from FILE-->Open capture Device ...,the locate the video capture is none,i press the rfresh button one and one .but the USB DVB-T
not found for ever.at last ,i debug the VLC,I found the "no capture device was detected " in the log file.

the following file is my driver on the USB DVB-T:

What version of VLC?

DVB support is a recent addition and thus far there doesn't appear anyone is having problems with recognition. This is of coarse assuming that the Direct Show drivers are installed and working and that you have confirmed this with, preferably Graph Edit or another Direct Show player and not necessarily the software that came with it, that may or may not be Direct Show compliant.

Hello Tommy,

I got the same problem, and I think that as long the TV tnuer does not appear in "windows image acquisition hardware group" it will be a problem to play with VLC.

[Guest]

All DVB-T USB dongles use only BDA drivers. At time, VLC don't support BDA, and you CAN'T find it in VLC.

But some good guys are working in integrate the long awaited BDA support in VLC.

I have seen the sound card.but there is no capture card..what is graphedit? how to use graphedit?where i can get graphedit

[DJ]

You are responding to a very old post in which I was mistaken regarding support for DVB cards in 0.8.5 however while there now is support for DVB in Linux there is still no support for Windows in 0.8.6

GraphEdit is a Microsoft program that works under Direct Show to help see the inter-working of filters and displays graphs of the filters and allows you to build working models. This program is no longer distributed by Microsoft however it is available on the net as graphedt.exe

[Lotesdelere]

You can download GraphEdit here:
http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downl ... t_141.html

You also need a Direct Show filter which is supports BDA. I suggest to use DC-DVB Source:
http://www.dsp-worx.de/index.php?n=11
The source code is included in the binary ZIP file.

By using both of them I'm able to watch at DVB-T channels even the H264 unscrambled ones with a USB dongle
However for H264 channels, you obviously need a Direct Show H264 decoder. You can use the demo version of MainConcept H264 Encoder/Decoder which is fully functional, though it adds a watermark to processed video and has a video capture recording restriction of five minutes.

Of course, all of this won't work in VLC.
But I hope it might help the devs to integrate DVB and BDA support to the Windows version of VLC

are there any news wrt support of DVB-T for Windows ?? I've seen a punch of posts saying: devs are working on it; shouldn't be that complicated (! this is not my opinion :-); it's just BDA to include ...

I know there is support for Linux, but unfortunately Linux doesn't support me :-))))

cheers
