So I recorded against from ASI120MC and it all worked fine.. the only format that didn't work was 16bit because I couldn't capture any 16bit to begin with. Even raw 8bit bayer worked fine and the SER player showed the frames in _color_ just fine (when they appeared monochromish in KStars). The only thing that didn't work was color OGV recorder. Grayscale worked fine, so I had to work on color support for a bit and got that working. Of course, SER is a better format IMO when compared to OGV since SER is lossless.
All this tested on my desktop PC, but I can test soon on StellarMate but doubt if that would make any difference.
the 290 and the 1600 work well when directly connected to my laptop. The way I have been trying to record the clips is by pressing the record button on the viewer when viewing remote.
The ASI is attached to a NUC at the scope running INDI and I am remotely streaming to another computer watching the video without any problem. It is on this remote computer I am pressing the record button. I will try to record some frames using the INDI control panel instead of the record button on the viewer and see how it goes.
Last night I had some nice skies, so I tried recording .ser again using my remote setup. I am having the same problem. When directly connected, it records usable files, when remote and hitting the record button, the files end up unusable like the previously attached one.
NUC on scope, remote is a PC, both with latest INDI/Ekos/kstars. Go to streaming in control panel, start watching the stream, stream looks great. Hit record button on stream viewer, no joy.
I was able to get it to work one time by using the INDI control panel. I cannot get it to work correctly when just hitting the record button in the stream viewer. I now cannot repeat the one success either. Th 16 bit still does not work for me to stream, even with plenty of bandwidth, though I could not tell from the discussion if this was supposed to be working now or not. The stream viewer shows just a solid white image even though the frame rate is changing, so I had been playing with the 8bit settings, which streams the video just fine. it just won't record data, just noise.
What can I do to help figure this one out? I am attaching to a remote machine running INDI servers.
