I'm trying to explore the capture plugin and I think I follow the basic flow. I have an old Win TV PCI adapter that I stuffed into the PC and download the latest XP WDM drivers from Hauppauge site. I can run their TV application so it looks like the hardware and drivers are working fine.
First thing I wanted to do after the setup was to look at the Capture Preview. I did not see any button on the setup page to get there or any exe of that name in the downloaded zip file. How does one start it?
I then went to capture an impage using the camera.asp. When I click on the camera name there is a delay of number of seconds, page refresh, and still only an icon placeholder on the screen.
I then triggered my camera motion device to get a picture that way. I looked in the \Capture folder and did see a file which when viewed is solid blue execept some imposed text in the corners. The HS log also had the following

I have no camera connected and expect to just use the tuner to see how this thing flows. Any advice on getting started?
