  • Added option to disable the hardware record button 'DisableHardwareRecordButton' true
  • Fixed the error message shown when Microphone Privacy is turned on, which stops the HD PVR Pro 60 from working. It previously showed a generic "Device cannot start" rather then the message showing the user how to fix this for themselves.

Hauppauge Capture 1.2.40257

  • Fixed an issue that the audio pid would be unmapped and remapped when entering full screen. This now only happens as desired when changing tabs away from the Capture tab.

Hauppauge Capture 1.2.40118

  • Removed the extra instance of the H.264 video decoder on the capture side of the HD PVR Pro 60 when in PVR Mode (the default). This fixes issues where if frames are dropped in the renderer, they were lost in the recorded file.
  • Hiding the label which tells user a restart of the device is required when changing the bitrate on the HD PVR Pro 60. This is hidden on all other products already.
  • Added PVR mode to HD PVR Pro 60. This allows audio to now be previewed in the Capture tab. Added new option under Advanced Settings to allow you to switch between new PVR mode and the old "live" mode (where audio preview is disabled)
  • Fixed issue with Mute button state being bad.
  • Stopping playback of recordings when returning to the Capture tab. Fixes a hang that could happen switching tabs when the pins on the demux where attempted to be unmapped twice.
  • Updated Twitch Login helper to fix issue where Auth token page is now redirected. The window was closing too early causing a crash. Updated Streaming DLL's to move some calls from v5 API to new Twitch API which are now depracted.
  • Updated HD PVR 2 / Colossus 2 driver 1.6.38322 should help with some of the Windows 10 2004 issues while recording at high bitrate. N.B. There is a Microsoft USB driver update under Optional which fixes the issue, but this driver should give a performance improvement also.
  • Fixed issue Finalising MP4 message wouldn't be removed when TS2MP4 background remux was complete.
  • Extra logging around why a device stopped recording.
  • Checking that MP4 background remux has actually completed before stopping. If you have a PC that can't remux in absolute real time or some content that takes longer to convert, the emux process could still be running when you press Stop Recording. The app will tell you it's still Remuxing and warn you when you try to close the app/recording/restart
  • Waiting until 20Mb has grown before starting the TS2MP4 background Remux.
  • Game slider renamed 'Audio In'
  • Mixer renamed Audio Mixer
  • High latency option removed from HD PVR 2 and Colossus 2, since videos cannot be played with our decoders.

  • Hardware acceleration is re-enabled on Windows 10 - 2004.
  • Fixed No AC3 Audio if another non-AC3 product was also connected

  • Fixed issue that files recorded outside of Hauppauge Capture couldn't be edited.
  • Fixed issue that the duration of added adding files that weren't recorded in Hauppauge Capture showed the incorrect duration in the recording list.
  • Added warning that MP4 files can't be edited in Hauppauge Capture when playing them in the edit tab.
  • Fixed an issue where the resolution information wasn't shown when changing Video Input
  • Allowing installation on non HD PVR style products (where customer has another WinTV product installed as well as a HD PVR style product). It will just assume you have a HD PVR 2 GE Plus for now and install the required components for this.

Hauppauge Capture version 39223

  • Twitch logon fix to avoid unsupported browsers

Hauppauge Capture version 39160

  • Added selection of VMR/EVR and Hardware Acceleration to the 'Settings' tab: allows the video renderer to be changed in case there are problems with preview video (normally a black screen in the preview window, but good operation otherwise)

Hauppauge Capture version1.2.38344

  • Updated HD PVR 2 / Colossus 2 driver 1.6.38322 should help with some of the Windows 10 2004 issues with higher bitrates. There is a Microsoft USB driver update under 'Windows 10 Updates -> Optional' which fixes the Win10 USB performance problems, but this driver should give a performance improvement also.
  • Fixed issue Finalising MP4 message wouldn't be removed when TS2MP4 background remux was complete.
  • Extra logging around why a device stopped recording prematurely.
  • Checking that MP4 background remux has actually completed before stopping.

Hauppauge Capture version 38155 Release Notes

  • Updated HCWI2C32.DLL. Fixes an issue where certain 3rd party software could cause setup to take a very long time to complete product detection. For instance if VMix application was installed. It also speeds up detection/non detection.

  • Fixed an issue cutting videos, the reported duration could end up as 6 seconds on certain recordings.

Hauppauge Capture version 38134 Release Notes

General improvements:

  • Added Facebook streaming to the StreamEez tab
  • Added warning about the Windows 10 Camera Privacy setting if the Capture filter can't be found (previously just the installer would warn about this, but products without Hauppauge EEPROM could miss this check)
  • Hiding the Export to MP4 option if an analog product (USB-Live2 and ImpactVCB) is connected, not just if false was set by the installer
  • Error message box made taller to fit Camera Privacy message
  • Fixes an issue detecting the HD PVR Pro 60 in rare cases
  • Uploading recordings to YouTube no longer shows this app is Unverified
  • Cosmetic fixes
  • Adding extra logging around detecting Analog products (USB Live 2 / Impact VCBe)
  • Fixed an issue with extra p at end of scaling resolution and an extra p30 fps when auto scaler was off and no scaling applied.

StreamEez tab:

  • Adds Facebook Live streaming in the StreamEez tab
  • Audio mixer settings are stored and applied correctly during streaming
  • Setting the NIC, since auto inside the RTMP streaming filter does not select the correct Adapater.
  • Forcing an update of the current network adapter when starting Streaming. If you had changed network adapter while Hauppauge Capture was open (say plugged in your iPhone to charge with Hotspot on, or removed your phone and therefore reverted to Wifi) and hadn't changed the Streaming service, it would use the details of the previous network adapter.
  • Reverted target Framework to 4.0 from 4.5 in SimpleStream
  • Setting Network Interface on RTMP filter always, not just if not Hauppauge Capture
  • Logging adapter name to debug VMware specific issue
  • Not setting the desired NIC, since the app doesn't expose a control to choose. This leads to streaming not working if you have multiple NIC's in a PC.
  • Fixed an isssue getting the Server URL and Stream Key from the registry in Hauppauge Capture
  • Fixed an issue that non Facebook streaming would fail because the URL was no longer automatically prefixed with rtmp://
  • Fixed an issue during streaming where the Mic volume wasn't restored when unmuting the mic.
  • Storing StreamEez Mic and Game and PC Audio Volume settings
  • Streaming To URL font reduced in size so URL fits on screen
  • Storing Mute Status of Mic streamingPage mute button
  • Added missing p to the streaming resolution in streamEez
  • Added missing p and frame rate to streaming resolution when Auto Scaler is turned off.
  • Currently the Audio mixer values are stored the same between tabs, so changes made to your Mic setup in Capture are used for streaming and vice versa
  • Saving the status of the TS/MP4/M2TS recording choice to config.xml when changed rather than when app is closed, to help with a reported issue that the choice wasn't been stored for a customer
  • Added support for detecting a HD PVR Pro 60 even when Windows has incorrectly enumerated it's display name as "USB Video Device"
  • Disabled online check for updates (No updates would be returned, but saving the time checking)
  • Fixed issue switching between different streaming services and showing the right text/boxes.
  • Checking Facebook Server and Stream Key entries and showing link where to obtain these.

Edit tab updates:

  • Add SkipFrame buttons (currently hidden) - this will change into Next I-Frame button.
  • Up/Down keyboard buttons skip forward/back 1 second in edit tab
  • Left/Right keyboard buttons skip forward/back 1 frame in edit tab (feature not yet working)
  • Ignoring timing info when cutting, cutting at the point the user chose (timing info was only accurate to 1 second)
  • Fixed an issue where the new accuracy in cutting a file was ignored and the cut was only made to the nearest second.
  • Skipping one frame button now skips 17ms (will add calculating this based on source frame rate for next build).
  • N.B. The decoder doesn't seem to update the preview window when using the frame button, but the cut is performed at the correct place (as accurately as we are able to)
  • Added skip by frame button (currently hard coded to skip 2ms, but will be set to the appropriate time based on frame rate). N.B. This isn't 100% accurate as we are still seeking by bytes in the file, so if you have a time coded source video, you may find it not as accurate as Adobe Premiere for instance, but far better than the current 1 second accuracy.
  • All functions converted from expecting seconds to milliseconds
  • No longer wait 800ms between UI updates when dragging the timeline so you can now quite acccurately drag the slider (please check this doesn't cause a massive CPU increase on low end PC's, but it seems absolutely fine here)
  • Forcing Edit volume and mute status to save to config.xml when changed, otherwise it could be forgotten.
  • Editor and playback now supports cuts to the nearest msec
  • Recording List has a msec value shown.
  • Playback of recordings shows msec

  • Not saving config.xml at first run in one place, to avoid read/write issue

Hauppauge Capture version 37142 Release Notes

  • Shows audio status next to video status: input audio format and output audio format
  • Audio mixer now has an 'Off' setting, so that 5.1 channel audio can be recorded on HD PVR 2 models which support 5.1 channel audio
  • On HD PVR 2, in the Advanced menu, 'HDMI Passthrough EDID' now has three settings: use HD PVR 2, Use TV monitor, Merge TV monitor and HD PVR 2. The default is 'Merge TV monitor and HD PVR 2'. This means the EDID settings presented to the video source will only be the ones supported by both the TV monitor and the HD PVR 2. For example, if your HD PVR 2 can support 5.1 channel audio but your TV monitor cannot, your HD PVR 2 will turn off EDID for 5.1 channel audio.

  • Fixed MPEG-1 TS Audio button was hidden
  • Fixed issue where HD PVR 2 Video Encoder Latency button wasn't checked.
  • Automatically detecting when the audio format changes (e.g. Stereo to AC3 (Dolby Digital) and vice-versa). Previously the app would start in whichever mode was detected at startup, so if the source was set to AC3 (Dolby Digital) after the app was started, or the device turned on after the app was started, you would hear no audio until the app was restarted.

  • Shows an error if you start recording but file doesn't grow for 30 seconds.
  • Fixed installation and run time issues caused by certain anti-virus applications.
