That was it!
Whew! I am glad we finally nailed it. Sorry I did not think of it earlier.
When I went through the re-configuration I was presented with the same 2 video sources as are present inside Snap Streams configuration. Where does MC get these choices? I would like to remove the problematic choice. I think it is a VFW option that has no drivers at the moment.
There is no way of removing the bad entry within MC TV. However, if you have multiple GOOD devices that you want to switch among, the place to find them is -
Right-click menu, TV Options->Devices
where you will find a list of video and audio capture devices. Exactly one video device and one audio device should have a check mark before them.
If you selected a bad entry in the list, you will have to delete the registry entries to reset.
MC TV uses DirectShow API to enumerate all capture devices on the system. Unfortunately old VfW drivers seem to have a way of linger, and be listed as valid devices. I have tried to remove pctvcap.dll from my list to no avail, I would just have to make sure it is never accidentally selected. Going to Device Manager did not help. I wonder if regclean program would clean it out.
Thanks for your help.
You are welcome.
One last question. Should I be able to view TV via the media server or is that a future feature?
You can not view TV via Media Server. I do not know whether it will be possible in the future.
