<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi David,</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">These are the steps I took:</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Run mythtv-setup on the master backend</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Select Option 5 - Input Connections</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Select External (Colossus-Dolby)</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">4. Select Interactions between inputs</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">5. Select Create a New Input Group</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">6. Name it Colossus</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">7. Input Group 1, now shows as Colossus, Input Group 2 remains as Generic</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">8. Press Escape, then Save then Exit</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">9. Select Option 5 - Input Connections</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">10. Select External (Colossus-AAC)</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">11. Select Interactions between inputs</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">12.Select Input group 1</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">13. The only option available is Generic, I would expect to be able to choose Colossus</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe I'm missing something, but it doesn't seem obvious from the documentation I've read on this?</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Regards,</span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0; "><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Dave.</span></p>
