Title: Hauppauge Colossus Audio with No Video
Post by: millst on December 19, 2013, 05:38:57 pm

I can't get my Colossus working with MC19. I can stream audio from the HDMI or SPDIF inputs, but I never get any video. I am trying to capture video from the component or HDMI inputs. It's not DRM related as the HDMI input isn't connected to anything protected and HDCP doesn't apply to component. I've tried the latest drivers from Hauppauge and latest MC beta release from JRiver.

The WinTV software that it comes with is able to capture okay. I recorded something and was able to play that file in MC19 okay. Not sure what is going on. Here is a log file.

Please try this DLL. (https://www.dropbox.com/s/yz56oii5dobsqdy/JRTelevision%20Colossus.zip)

First, make sure you install the latest MC version from here. (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=86060.0)
Then download and unzip the above DLL.  Copy JRTelevision.dll into MC19 installation folder (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\J River\Media Center 19\).

Let me know if that helps.

Yes, it seems to be working now. Thanks. What was the issue?

The issue was that we loaded ArcSoft MPEG-2 Demultiplexer filter when it existed, instead of loading Microsoft demultiplexer.  The ArcSoft filter used to work well without needing an additional filter whereas the Microsoft one needed another filter.  I do not know why it does not work any more (in your case), they must have changed how it works.  So I changed my code to use Microsoft filter directly, without trying to use the ArcSoft.

Thanks for testing.
