Question / Help HD-PVR2 isn't being detected?

Hey guys, just wondering if any one's had any luck getting OBS to successfully detect a HD-PVR2? I know Elgato isn't supported due to the drivers, but I haven't seen anything about the Hauppauge for Mac just yet. Currently I can't even get it through to the red screen, I just get stuck here at the device selection window:

As you can see, OBS seems to know that SOMETHING is connected, it just doesn't seem to know what exactly. I've followed all the same steps I'd usually use on Windows so I'm at a bit of a loss. I've tried it with both HDPVRCapture open and closed too, after restarts, hard console resets, and just about everything else I can think of as well with no luck.

Any one got any ideas? I'd love to get it working as my Mac's more powerful than my PC, so it would be a lot better for streaming.

I thought there was no support for the hauppague. I used to have one. I think you had to capture by using hdvcapture and streaming the file to vlc and then capturing the vlc window in obs.

There's direct support now, at least for Windows. Just hook it up and load OBS and the Hauppauge will show in the device like like anything else.

Mac I'm still unsure about, but so far I haven't read anything saying it isn't supported. Hopefully this topic will help find out though.

Yeah as far as the Mac goes, I don't think it works (similar problem as with the Elgato). I was just curious as to what the log would say with the blank item there in the list.

It's weird, though. It's like it wants to work, but doesn't quite actually work. Never seen something like this before.

Yeah, it's definitely a bit odd. Thanks for all the help though. Fingers crossed it gets added in the future! As for the time being I'll just have to stick to my old PC (or even bootcamp this mac).
