Thanks bpa. I am trying to get everything working through the gui
first. i.e. Get logging working as required and get the same stream
going as is started when I use the your plugin. As you say we can then
see if it fails and if so what is logged as a result. Then if it helps
I can get the same stream going to a null device to get sb out of the
equation.
I'm getting there with the logging. I just need to get the stream going
as it does using your plugin.

I'll try this first now that I have logging going as expected and come
back to you.

Yes the problem I had was that the latest one on the hauppage site
didn't work at all, I couldn't play anything through the card. I called
Dell ts and they said I should use theirs. I did and it all worked
fine.
That said, the one on hauppage is newer so I may try it. I can roll
back if it all goes belly up.

Ok I understand this, I think. What is throwing me is the command lines
in your custom-convert.conf file.
They are all using "acodec=s16l" which is wav is it not?
This is what I am trying to achieve in order to emulate the stream
setup by the plugin through the gui.
I think I need a bit more explanation of this (sorry I'm a bit dim :-)
Is your plugin streaming over http? of not what and why?
Again many thanks for all your help.
