Balky video on HDMI input

System details below.

When I start up OBS, often there is no image displayed in the preview window, nor is there one output. When I go to the properties of the HDMI source, the Device is correct. When I change nearly anything else on the properties page (usually I switch the video format to BGR3 (Emulated) and then back to Motion-JPEG), the image then shows up.

However, it sometimes then shows only the initial frame and never updates. I've tried everything I can think of with no success.

Dell Optiplex 3020
Linux Mint 21 XFCE
Kernel 5.15.0-50-generic x86_64
Marshall VAC-12HU3 (shows in OBS as eEver USB Device: MEI USB3.0 CA)
OBS 28.0.2 64 bit

What should be my next step?
