I was Looking for something
that would allow me to hook my streaming device
to the PC in the other room
so I could watch NetFlix or other services
I had my RoKu hooked to my monitors HDMI port
which worked well
but changing inputs was kind of a pain
(in the You know where)
because it would change my PCs resolution
resizing and moving all my windows
when I changed the input back to PC
this works much better
because I can just open streaming box in a Window
Other things to Know:
it doesn’t come with Software…
(but windows already has the Drivers)
I tried a few things
VLC worked okay but it wouldn’t really go full screen 16:9
it only want to run it in old school 4:3 TV mode
I also tried to open it in a browser tab
(which was a little over my head)
same problem… 4:3 TV Ratio
I’m sure you can probably run it in Any software that will open a webcam
you just have Select the source as… “USB Video”
TLDR:
in the end, I just used MPC-BE which I’ve been using for Years…
(Media Player Classic Black Edition) Download from MajorGeeks
in Options: select the Play Back Capture Device as “USB Video”
Works Perfectly
Exactly what I Wanted
