I can crack it open if needs be.

Hrm, ok thanks for checking it out. I wonder if it is faulty. @Hellie are your outputs the same?

 

Yes we have the same output.

 

Weird. Mine still isn't working. Well, bearing in mind that when I first installed NG and everything was set to auto like you and all worked well, then it stopped working despite troubleshooting/reinstalling etc I can only conclude that it's faulty.

I've got an STK on order (has been for over a week) but they still haven't dispatched. If they don't dispatch tomorrow, I'm just gonna grab one from Sun Stars on Ali.

 

I'm also running 2.0.0-alpha.6maybe that's the difference?

 

Same

 

Do you have an other PI where you can test the USB gabber? I can switch the grabber between my pi's and they work.

Al tough we have the same chip, mine was advertised as a UTV007 and uses a easycap style case. So maybe there is still some differences?

 

Yes, I have already checked. The result is the same on both and my Ubuntu laptop. Mine was advertised as the STK1160, and by the time I received it, "STK1160" had been removed from the listing, so I think they knew it was not. I already got a refund for it. I sent the seller the lsusb screenshot and they refunded without question. I have ordered another unit from a different supplier. I will see what happens when it arrives.

 

The STK is here! And it really is an STK:

Code:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05e1:0408 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd STK1160 Video Capture Device

Problem is, I cannot get it to work. I am getting these errors:

I have tried 0-3.. but the output is black in the preview...

Any ideas?

 

:-(

What is that supposed to mean?

"Hey Bob! Switch to NG!"?

I am.. as mentioned at the start of this thread. In fact, alpha 6.

"And get an STK1160 or UTV007!"

Ok, done...

I know this is alpha stage, but if it's what you're recommending then there's not much I can do because that's what I'm running..... HyperBian in fact.

Seems like NG has some real issues around hardware detection/use.

 

This is definitely a bug. I have just re-imaged the SD with HyperBian and it's working again..... Exact same settings. All I change is UDP for WLED, set number of LEDs and turn platform cap off.

 

I get this... but if your solution is to use the alpha and it doesn't work...
