Capturing From Hauppauge HD PVR

[Kalec]

My goal is to get VLC to see whatever the cap card is connected to, (currently my Xbox.) I'm not really interested in capturing with VLC, but to get the live view I want, I think I have to do it that way.

VLC recognizes the device under the drop down menu, but it gives me errors every time I try and hit play under "Open Capture Device".

It gives me this error,
"Capture failed:
The capture device "Hauppauge HD PVR Capture Device" does not support the required parameters."

I really want to be able to do this so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
-Kalec

Open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2), then try again. Message dialog should so more info about the issue.

it can be fixed with chroma option, but I have no clue which chromas work with that device (so trial and error time)

Code: Select all

--dshow-chroma=<string> Video input chroma format Force the DirectShow video input to use a specific chroma format (eg. I420 (default), RV24, etc.)
