Have been experiencing an issue regarding the AverMedia AVerTV HD DVR internal capture card and the exe version of Signage Player. I've been on chat for hours about this and have also emailed a support ticket. Still waiting for an answer. Adding to the forums to get user input.
This is what occurs:
1. Signage Player loads.
2. Through the External App component, Player launches AVer_MediaCenter.exe. (MP4 video content is simultaneously playing in a separate zone.)
3. After about 4-8 seconds into the Aver Media Center load, Player crashes and closes out. Aver Media Center remains on the screen. Player auto starts back up, but Aver Media Center does not
restart as it is already launched.
4. AverMedia does not auto load the capture feed (it remains on the capture screen). It's as though the crash stops it from auto loading.The capture feed of AverMedia has to be manually started. But whenever Player or Station restarts, it gets stuck on the capture screen of AverMedia.
5. When AverMedia is launched on it's own without Player, it does not auto load the capture. This only occurs when done through Player, and only successfully occurs when through the AIR version of Player.
This issue does not occur on the AIR version of Player, only the EXE version. We have tested on 4.33, 4.34, and v.5.0.68 and have had the same results across all. Have tested on Windows 7 and 10, Home and Pro editions, 32 and 64 bit versions. Hardware is Intel i5 with 4GB RAM.
We tested with a different internal capture card, the Hauppauge Colossus 2. It uses different software and we had no crash issues. However, the Hauppauge card and software had sluggish playback and is not a viable alternative.
Anyone else having a similar experience or able to shed some light on the issue?
