[Guide] TVSP Setup Guide

[DeMoN X]

Another little guide by me! The one and only DeMoN X ;) - TVSP Setup Guide 0.1 (0.2 Coming soon!)

Seem's a few members are having problems setting this up, Well this guide should cover these issues and explain how to get it up and running..

So here we go..

Requirements :

PSP Version 1.00/1.50, Wireless router, Compatible TV Card

Download : DScaler 4.1.15/14 http://deinterlace.sourceforge.net/
Download : TVSP http://www.afung.com/tvsp/

First of all install DScaler and after its installed replace the DI_Evenonly.dll with the one from thats included in tvsp.

Then run DScaler and set that up, It should then look like this :


Select your card from the menu (Either CX,SA,BT and other card)

Change pixel width from 720 to 320.

Then select deinterlace -> Even



Extract TVSP onto the memory stick PSP/GAME, Change TVSP.ini :

From this :

// Enter your PC's IP Address below
// example : 192.168.1.1

To this :

192.168.1.1

(Or whatever your PC's LAN IP address is)

Load up TVSP and enjoy!

Compatablity list (To determine your card check DScaler menu)

BT Card = Working. (Recommended choice of card)
BT Card List : http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/supportedcards.html

CX Card = Working, Few minor problems with WinTV 34XX
SA Card = Unknown, But should work. (Need feedback please)

DShow = NOT Working at this moment in time.
PCTV USB , WinTV USB , WinTV-PVR USB, ATI All-in-Wonder

FAQ

Q : I'm getting overlay errors when I start DScaler what do I do?
A: Check here http://www.dscaler.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1811

Q: My motherboard is beeping when I use DScaler deinterlace, How do i fix this?
A: Open DScaler (Any version), Change the deinterlace to something other than even. Set the pixel width to 320 then close DScaler.

Open DScaler again, Then select even deinterlace. Beeping sounds should be gone.

Q: I'm getting alot of lag when using this? How can i stop this?
A: TURN WLAN POWER SAVE OFF If that won't work check out magnoliafan method

Several people have posted that they get stuttering video. One frame, then a lag for several seconds, then another frame or two, then another delay, etc. I had this problem as well, and it was easy to correct. In DScaler, go to the Deinterlace menu. The only thing that should be checked is "Even Scanlines Only." I noticed that, by default, the first time I ran DScaler, it also had "Automatic Film / Video Detection" selected. That is what was causing the huge frame-dropping. When I deselected it, the problem went away.

If you are still having other problems check out this :

f you have TWO entries for "Even Scanlines Only" in the Deinterlace menu, then you need to make sure you overwrote DI_EvenOnly.dll in your Program Files -> DScaler directory with the new one from the TVSP package. I found that if I renamed the original file, it still showed up in the Deinterlace menu, along with the new one, and both had the same name! One of course would NOT work with TVSP. So overwrite the original one...

I've noticed if you go into DScaler and mess with options on some of the other menus, it can alter the settings you already had for "BT Card -> Pixel Width", "Deinterlace," and so forth. So make sure these are set to 320 and Even, respectively.

Also, don't forget to forward port 8888 on your wireless router (if your security settings require this) or else you won't get a connection.

One last thing: If TVSP worked at some point in the past and doesn't anymore, it may be something simple:
- Does your system get a new IP address via DHCP if you reboot? If so, the IP
specified in the TVSP.INI file on your PSP may no longer contain the right IP address.

-If your IP changed, be sure to update your router port forwarding with the new IP address. No sense forwarding port 8888 for 192.168.0.3 when your IP was changed to 192.168.0.4!

-DScaler may not remember the last state in which you left it. Verify that the settings are still correct (320, Even only, no Automatic Film / Video Detection).

Thanks to magnoliafan for posting that and thanks to any others for helping out with the guide.

Then run DScaler and set that up, It should then look like this :


Select your card from the menu (Either CX,SA,BT and other card)

Change pixel width from 720 to 320.

There's NO such option for me (with my Pinnacle PCTV USB2 card).

As mentionned in that other thread, my card is not supposed to be supported by DScaler, but it does show my TV channels.

Any idea how I could set that "pixel width" ?!?

Manually maybe ? in the ini ?

TIA

[DeMoN X]

If you can see a picture then you should be able to set your pixel width? Can you send me a screenshot of your DScaler?

[PM5K]

Probably the same, mine shows up as DShow (direct show) and there is no pixel width option, there is a resolution option but there are no sub options, you can go into settings > resolution and define one and then choose it but that doesn't seem to work.

[DeMoN X]

Can you send me your descaler.ini? I think i know what the problem is.

[PM5K]

Sure you can download it here

[DeMoN X]

Damn, Even the ini is missing the pixel settings.. I was trying to look for something like this :

[DShow_VideoInput2]
X_VideoFormat=0

[X_VideoInput2_PAL-B]
X_PixelWidth=320
X_CustomPixelWidth=320

Do you have a DShow ini file there? , I'll take a look at that if there is.

[PM5K]

No there's no dshow ini...

I seem to be connecting but my program freezes and I get a black screen.

[xtreameracer01]

Does this work on 2.00+ mostly 2.60? i havent tried it yet....

[Alien18]

I have 2.6 and many people have reported it working on 2.6 but on mine i have tried 4 times now and 3 times both my PSP and Dscaler have crashed after my PSP has succeslly conencted to the network. One attempt left Dscaler running on my PC and my PSP with an error message - something ot the effect of "Unable to open socket" (or "connect to socket".

I using an ATI AIW so it might have something to do with that pixelwdith thingy.

Anyone who has fw2.6 and an ATI All-In-Wonder that has got this working I would apprecaite any help/comments. Thank you.

[Grecoroman14]

Where can u buy a bt card and what is a bt card or which ever one??? and u should make a tutourial video. it work help alot if someone told me how to get this thing to work.

[DeMoN X]

Where can u buy a bt card and what is a bt card or which ever one??? and u should make a tutourial video. it work help alot if someone told me how to get this thing to work.

Try ebay or something, and here is a list of BT cards http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/supportedcards.html

Even if its not BT just pick a non-USB card and it should work fine. It seems that USB cards are having the most problems.

[gamer4lif3]

i have a video card but not a bit card......so im guessing im out of luck?

[cyanide]

front paged this :)
im sure a lot of people will appreciate it ;)
thanks for the guide

[cyanide]

Just an update, DeMoN X, if you can, then integrate this bit into your guide:
BT cards are the ones with the Conexant BTxxx chipset.
CX is i think the philips chipset based cards...

[SSJ4MasterVegeta]

Okay, I've followed the instructions step-by-step, I have a ATI TV Wonder Card, and I set my DScaler settings to the correct ones. And yet, everytime I open up TVSP on my 1.50 PSP, It says connecting and then ity says conection failed and shuts off my psp. My LAN IP Adress is 192.168.1.1 ( I've checked with my router), and I put that into the .ini folder, and it still says conecction failed. What am I doing wrong?

[Anger]

SA card (xpert tv-pvr pci) has serious issues. it has bad framerate is windowed (looks like 4-3) and seems to have noise (however the dscaler also has this same noise - maybe an incompatability with the card between dscaler?)
im gonna work on it some more see if i can get a better result.

[Madblaster6]

:Argh: :Argh: i can't get my DScaler to set up. im using the card i have. i can't change the ratio and my psp won't connect.

[Madblaster6]

can someone help?

[bigdaddie]

@demon, Awesome it works thanx, please let there be sound ;)

[Master-Chief]

DeMon X, I keep getting that beeping sound from my motherboard. My card shows up as DShow or whatever. I've gotten it to work but I was at a black screen just sitting there probably because I didn't have the resolution width set to 320. If I do set it I get that beeping noise. I have a WinFast PVR PCI Card and I tried using the older version of DScaler, but you mentioned something about the DScaler drivers. Any idea on where I can get them from? Thanks a lot man!

[Maxcre8]

It works fine on my 2.6 PSP :) Hope they fix the sound soon!
anyway its allready amazing work :Punk:

[Mohanico]

JW does anyone know of a good cheap card that will work with DScaler and the TVSP ---Particularly DScaler and sound because i cant wait for that!!

TY!

[jkoz]

I have two capture cards, one an ATI TV Wonder VE and anothe ran AverMedia H180 or whatnot... anyway the ATI check out but it's forcing me to configure the AM card too and it crashes after saying error on overlay whatever... I don't want to uninstall my second card so this program runs properly; is there a workaround?

[rai1790]

Yes this is so awesome tnx alot demon

[TheMarioKarters]

Nice one Demon. It helped a lot.

[Twisted]

Well i have it working on my 2.6 aswell, however in the rar there was no tvsp.ini. So i assumed that it was only the ip located in it and that seemed to work. However it runs slow and pauses every few seconds for about 5 seconds. Was there anything else located in the ini file ?
