Scheduled recordings with Hauppauge Colossus 2 no longer working

[sward 26]

Hello - I can watch live TV using Emby and my Colossus 2, but if I try scheduling a recording, it fails. Here's a snippet from my logs for the most recent recording attempt. This was supposed to be a 2hr recording, but as you can see it dumps out of it after a few seconds and no .ts file is generated. Please help!

I'm still testing a few things, but a recent upgrade to my STB may have been the cause. It now has the option for enabling/disabling HDR which is incompatible with the Colossus 2. After disabling HDR, I was able to record again.

Thanks for the feedback !
