Provideo 256T - S-Vide out not working?

[jimwhite]

I have two of these cards, and finally got around to setting one up in my new HTPC since I just bought Sage TV.... well, I've been playing with the bundled app first, to be sure the card is working. I'm using the latest 2.18 version drivers and app. Well, the problem is that the s-video output won't work. Now, I know for a fact that it worked when I had it in my prototype HTPC a few months ago.... I've tried many different versions of the drivers/app and both cards.... no S-Video out. If I remember correctly, it only works during file playback, and that's the way I've been testing. Does anyone have one of these and does your S-Video output work? I may never use it, but I'd like to know for sure if this functionality is present or not. If it's not, I'll relocate the cad to my server in the basement. Running XP Pro, SP1....

Yeah, you can make this work. In the Sage.properties file change
videoframe/ps_hw_decoder_filter=
to
videoframe/ps_hw_decoder_filter=Python 2 Decoder

(I'm pretty sure it's "Python 2 Decoder", but I don't have the card installed at this time, but you can check this in GraphEdit if you have problems)

Hmmmm.... okay, but it doesn't work in the Provideo application, and I could swear that it used to !!!

Jim has a PV256T. Streammachine 2210
I'm sure someone here has tried S-Video out on playback.

Whoops, thought it was a 256TPro. On the 256T, the S-video out is not supported at all in Sage.

It's beginning to sound like the 256T is going to go downstairs in the server... will Sage manage two 256T cards in different machines?

Well, the S-Video out got turned off in ver 2.17.... Ian, have you got the source? can you fix this ?
