I have a signal chain of cable STB -> colossus 2 -> jriver, if we ignore the sync issue described in
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,112495.0.html then this works fine. However I've noticed that jriver consistently hangs in the following situation
- STB is sleeping
- play the hdmi input in jriver
- wake up the STB
- stop playback in jriver
The STB comes out of sleep with a "waking up" message and then switches to whatever channel was last active. JRiver reacts to this by
- getting stuck on the previous view (the waking up message)
- hanging if you press stop at this point
jriver itself seems ok because an MC client in another room can initiate a connection and/or continue playback & panel still functions normally so it seems an MC client bug in handling this event in the capture stream.
Note that the hauppauge capture software does not have this problem, it can happily deal with this situation and tracks changes in the underlying stream without issue.
If I look in Process Explorer then I see MC has some borked child process wth PID 880, grepping the MC log for pid 880 I get

I suppose I can workaround this by not letting the STB sleep but that's not ideal from a power consumption point of view so would be nice to fix this.
