How do I setup Asset to stream PC Capture on a 7.1 HDMI audio device?

How do I setup Asset to stream PC Capture on a 7.1 HDMI audio device?

I have 2 Asset Media servers, both run Windows 7 64 bit. One is a dual core and the other is a quad core. They both stream local & NAS media. They both have 3 audio output devices; 2 channel SPDIF, 2 channel WAVE, and 7.1 HDMI. The SPDIF & WAVE devices stream just fine, but the 7.1 HDMI does not work at all. If I set the HDMI to 2 channel it streams fine. The quad core is my HTPC and media server and needs to stay 7.1. Is it possible to configure Asset to PC Capture the 7.1 HDMI device?

Where do I fine the syntax to the Rules Based Profiles?

Is it possible to change the buffering characteristics for the PC Capture stream? Where do I find the details?

Thanks for a great product.

Thx,

Dean

The capture is the default output sound card.

If I set the default output to 7.1 HDMI, I get nothing. If I set the default out to 2.0 HDMI, it captures fine.

How can I capture 7.1 HDMI?

Where do I find the possible values & syntax for the Rules Based Profiles?

The current buffer time for PC Capture appears to be ~30secs. How do I shorten it?

It is not possible to capture anything other than 2 channel.

Rule documentation is coming in R4 release.

It is not possible to change the capture buffer.

Awww, that's too bad. I was afraid of that. I have to use 7.1 HDMI; it drives my HT amplifier. Can you think of a work around either hardware or software?

Asset UPnP is the best transcoding DLNA server I've tried and I'd really like to use it.


Thanks for your prompt response...I can't change the default
