How to stream for Video Capture Cards (how-to)

[M2Ys4U]

I too am using a pinnacle TV capture card I have noticed that unless the pinacle TV viewing software is running, VLC cannot detect any signal on the TV card (audio or video) and when it is running, I can only seem to get Audio :s (Audio going via soundcard)

Just to add to my previous post, it's a PCTV110i using I'm using the Pinnacle MediaCenter v3.40.596 on WinXPSP2

Hello, I too have some problems streaming from my new Pinnacle PCTV 110i (the driver from the CD says 110i, but the box says 50i).

Good:
* I can play directly from the TV card to the screen in VLC (DirectShow) fine!
* I can stream files or DVD using transocoding over the internet to my client!

Bad:
* I can not stream from the Capture card to the client

Mostly I get no audio and no video, I have managed to get audio from the capture card streamed, but not consistently after trying other settings then switching back. It may have to do with running the MediaCenter software in between??? Sometimes the VLC client detects there is an incoming stream and starts a black window with the correct resolution but no pictures. So I never actually got any moving pictures streaming from the TV-Card

I have tried 0.85 and 0.84a.

Did anyone get this card to work with transcoding and streaming?

What could I try next?

Cheers
