I have 2 servers - 1 running Windows 2000 and the other running 2003.  If i start Windows Media Encoder on the one running Win 2000 i get the Osprey card showing up in device options for both Audio and Video.  On the 2003 server ( running the same version of Media Encoder) i only  see the osprey card showing up in video - the audio setting only shows "Multichannel WAV source" ?  I've installed the latest driver from the web site.  Any ideas anyone ?

Hi waldekev.

The WinXP drivers worked great for me with an Osprey 500 which was intstalled on a machine that was running Windows 2003.  FTP using anonymous login to:

ftp2.viewcast.com

and once connected, navigate down to:

/pub/OSP-500/winXP/latest/

and download all of the files in that folder.  The main installer is Osprey-5002.2.1UpdateforXP.exe.  Read the ReadME.txt file before installing and then afterwards, read ReadME_Patch4.txt and ReadME_Patch5.txt to see if you need to install the patches as well.

How are you accessing the encoder?  As I remember, Win2003 does not allow access to audio devices using remote desktop.  Just a thought.

Ha! Well done! I totally forgot abotu that.  It has been over a year since I setup those 3 machines and I discovered that problem early on in the piece. As such, I had to remotely configure WME9 via VNC (TightVNC to be exact).

Edit: It wasn't around when I was using TightVNC, but you might find that UltraVNC is even better (or perhaps Remote Admin).
