Support for Colossus

Release notes for 29168 and 29111:

Fixed 640x480p support.
Auto aspect ratio now uses registry defaults.
This version now has support for Windows Media Center. For complete instructions, please click on the "For Windows Media Center" tab above.
Fixed issue: "Colossus audio lost when another recording starts in Sage TV".
Fixed issue: "I made a 2 hour recording but my playback software reports a different time value".
Fixed issue: "My player loses audio if the audio format changes in the middle of a recording".
Removed limitations on video bit rate. Range is now 1 - 20mbps for all resolutions.
Added custom property page to allow control over Aspect Ratio settings.
* enable/disable auto aspect ratio detection.
* set 480/576i and 480/576p default aspect ratios. Used when auto aspect ratio detection is disabled or when auto aspect ratio detection is enabled but the source does not contain aspect ratio data (CGMS-A or WSS).
Bit rate settings are now saved in the registry.
AC3 over HDMI now works.

Have a nice day.

Just wanted to let you guys know that the new drivers don't work for me. I spent a few hours trying to get a new Colossus machine running with no success. After a while I decided to try the old drivers, and then it worked immediately.

I could use the Hauppauge and Arcsoft software with the new drivers, but MediaPortal didn't work.

Not sure why this is, but for now, I'll just stick with the old drivers.

Hi Klairic

I won't be able to fix whatever is wrong unless you can post logs and tell me exactly what didn't work. For example, was the card detected, did it just not start timeshifting/recording?

Driver 29168 works well for me. No difference.

I tried updating to the new driver posted on 6/20/2011 and my tv server has stoped working. But if I go back to the driver off the wintv disk or web version which is dated like 6/7 or something like that it works fine. New one gives me the no pmt found error.

Even tried reinstalling & nada, but old drive is seems fine tho.

Hi shamus252

The tv.log is great, but can I also have the TsWriter log please.

[shamus252]

ya sure sorry.

Right, thanks for that.
Looks like Hauppauge have changed the "fixed" service ID and/or PMT PID associated with the Colossus. I'll contact WilleECoyote since it is probably faster for him to figure this one out than me (because I don't have hardware for testing)...
