DirectShow driver for 290 MC not working

rob2160

Hello, I have a program called LuSol guide that is used to track the Sun. This requires the DirectShow driver for ZWO cameras.

All my cameras are recognised except the 290 MC. (183, 294, 120, 178 all appear fine in the selection box)

My 290 MC will appear in Sharpcap and PHD2 which have native support but it won't appear as a direct show camera in Sharpcap.

Could you please take a look. I have had this problem with previous versions of direct show also and it is still present in the latest version.

Thank you

Thanks for the quick feedback. I have the 290 MC version. Not the mm. I am using latest drivers and the latest version of direct show. 3.1.6.

I will make a short video showing the issue tomorrow.

Here is a video showing the problem. I have the same issue on two other computers. I have tried different cables also.

Hi team, I'm also having an issue with my ZWO 1600MM Pro not appearing as a directshow camera. I've just upgraded my drivers to v3.16 and also downloaded Directshow 3.17 however Sharpcap doesn't show it as a Directshow device but it appears under ZWO ASI Cameras. I need Directshow so I can stream to Youtube.

Cheers, Mike

Please uninstall the old DirectShow driver cleanly and install using https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/software-drivers
