Hello, I am a long time user of NextPVR used with Hauppauge Colossus series capture cards.
Recently my Colossus1 card failed, and as it is discontinued, I replaced it with the Colossus2.
I use it to capture from my STB (MySkyHDi box)
I am encountering a strange issue when watching live TV with NextPVR.
It appears to be some kind of interlace type issue, and the picture basically stutters and strobes constantly.
I only came up with the interlace theory, as when I change the STB's video output from 1080i to 720p, it works perfect.
If I change it back to 1080i, then everything stutters and strobes.
I use the NextPVR addon in Kodi most of the time, and also the NextPVRUI.
When using 1080i, the recording that is created has the strobing and stuttering too.
If I change the STB's output to 720p, all works fine again,
I tried downloading Hauppauge's own capture utility 'Hauppauge Capture' (which supports both the Colossus 1 and 2 cards.
When I record in Hauppauge Capture from 1080i, it works perfectly.
I then tried playing back the capture inside kodi, and it too was fine,
I next tried NextPVRUI client, and it does the same thing with 1080i from my STB, and stutters and strobes.
I know for certain that NextPVR has worked perfectly with my STB and the colossus1 card, as have used it for 'years'
Any idea what might be occurring here?
