Important notice
----------------
The serverbda batch files are provided "as is" and for free. They are tested and
found to be working fine. THE USE IS ON YOUR OWN RISK! No responsibility can be
taken for damage or data loss of your system.
Introduction
------------
There is no BDA support (Broadcast Driver Architecture) on Windows Server 2008 R2.
So if you want to use BDA based hardware (i.e. DVB TV cards) on your server it is
neccessary to add BDA harware support manually.
Otherwise software such as DVBViewer, DVBViewer Recording Service or MediaPortal
won't recognize any of your DVB devices.
With this command line based setup you can easily add BDA support to your server
with a few clicks. It is compatible to Windows Server 2008 R2 in any language.
Step-by-step
------------
Unpack the "serverbda.zip" to any location you want to, i.e. your desktop. You can
also unpack the file directly to a network share on your server.
The BDA setup is done in two steps:
1) Grab BDA files from a Windows 7 x64 system.
2) Install BDA support on your Windows Server 2008 R2 with help of the files from
step 1.
Step 1 is done by running the win7_grabfiles.bat on a Windows 7 x64 system.
Right click on the file, choose "Run with administrative privileges" and follow
the instructions. This will copy some files from your Windows 7 system into
"serverbda\files".
Step 2 is to run server_bdasetup.bat on your Windows Server 2008 R2. Right click
on the file, choose "Run with administrative privileges" and follow the
instructions. Please make sure that there is the "files" folder from step 1 as the
setup will copy this files to your server.
Don't bother if some few files cannot be copied as these may are already existing
on your server system. They remain in the "files" folder and usually can be
removed later.
After the setup is finished, you should agree to automatically reboot the system.
Now the setup is complete and you will be able to use BDA hardware. Usually it is
not even neccessary to reinstall software such as DVBViewer or MediaPortal.
If the batch files were helpful or if you are encountering problems, I would be
glad to receive your feedback! Just leave a comment on my blog.
