Hauppauge HD-PVR & Colossus Support (9 Viewers)

[luci5r]

Hi luci5r, sad to ear that this does not work for you. In ShowBiz, instead of m2ts try TS (Playstation 3 if I remember) maybe it's just that.

That Worked!!! I'm amazed that was the solution. I don't know why there is a difference between selecting M2TS vs. TS ... but i'm not going to question it, considering it works! I'm getting full bit rate quality (17 mbps avg / 20 mbps peak) + 5.1 AC-3 audio when recording through Media Portal now .. just like ArcSoft ShowBiz. This is great.

Thanks man - I appreciate it.

1. Has anyone tried a HDFury? Any feedback on the results?

I would be very interested in hearing about results with the new HDMI output-equipped HDFury as well.

2. Has anyone tried using the HDMI capture on the Colossus in MP? Does it work or should I stick with Component??

I have tried HD Capture on the Colossus in MP. It works, but it seems to be quite intolerant of on-the-fly resolution switching. Resolution changes are common when switching between SD and HD channels if your receiver is configured to output the native resolution of the content, rather than using its internal scaler, so this can be a significant issue.

I appreciate the help. I don't have this configuration when editing a channel. I am using the Collossus crossbar analog. I cannot add any channels to the hd pvr, or scan for my region. The card works fine, just no 5.1.

So what do I have setup wrong?

Thanks

Ok guy I got it figured out.

Edit each channel to your settings, me component and spdif 2 for audio, lots of fun for 100's of channels

Make sure you restart pc.

Thanks

You can do a SQL update query to modify videoSource and audioSource in dbo_TuningDetail table of the TV-Server database. Alternatively, you can use MS Access' GUI to do a search and replace in these fields. Either way though, you'll be done in a fraction of the time.

You shouldn't need to reboot after you are done; restarting TV-Server should be sufficient.

Ok I got everything mapped correctly. Dolby is turned on on the receiver, but no 5.1.
Dolby dd works on ota, and in xbmc.


So am I almost there.

Thanks for the help.

I've been having a lot of troubles with my Colossus, but i managed to fix everything but one...the sound.
I haven't been able to get sound at all, and i do not know why.

I'm trying to record off my PC; games such as Guild Wars, Battlefield3.
For both Video and Audio, I have them both set to HDMI right now. I'm fairly new to this, so i don't know how to setup HDMI audio on my PC.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you get sound in ArcSoft ShowBiz ? (available on the colossus CD)
