Hauppauge PVR-350 :: get a simple cap

[DaveQB]

I have put the said capture card [Hauppauge PVR-350] into my desktop. I am finding I can not even test it on there.

cat /dev/video0 provides a dud file.

david@david /capture/TV $
ls /dev/video*
/dev/video0  /dev/video16  /dev/video24  /dev/video32  /dev/video48

How can I get this thing working? I have 1 S-Video input plugged into it from my VCR.

[hellonorman]

By dud file do you mean snow static? I think it defaults to the tuner input so you may have to set the ivtv driver to the s-video input. I don't remember commands by heart but search google for ivtv and the V4l2-ctl command.

[DaveQB]

Nah I mean the file can not be played. Mplayer crashes out complaining the file is invalid.
Its 0 bytes no matter how long I cat from it to a file on disk

Code: Select all

cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg
