A little victory here for me. Finally downloaded a new driver for my
Startech USB3 video capture box and also a new version of VLC media player
(free, open source, donation would be nice...)
After installing the driver I fired up VLC, opened the media menu, opened
capture device and selected DirectShow.
P3 SVGA came up instantly in a resizable window nice and clean. I'm just
using a NUC i5, Win10 and it's consuming about 5% CPU time which is very
reasonable.
For extra points I modified the properties of the desktop shortcut for VLC
putting "dshow://" after the program invocation which was already in
quotes. Include the quotes in the dshow portion.
Clicking on the link now goes directly to showing the SVGA stream.
I'll do some further testing to see if anything weird crops up when running
N1MM+ and sending CW, etc., but looks good so far!
woo hoo!!
