Hdmi grabber?

  • At least the V4L2 API for Linux is mentioned in the product description. Hyperion uses this api for the "normal" av grabbers. So I think if the device will show up in /dev it will work.
    But if the card will work out of the box (will show up as a device) I can't tell you. Maybe you have to figure out right drivers.


    I think you will have to try it.

  • Ok well got this device sooner then expected, hopefully its plug and play...


    Maybe a dev can chime in to guide me on how to see if we can make it work..


    i got this from HyperCon


    ssh in: hyperion-v4l2:
    ssh in: version : V1.03.4 (brindosch-c750c41/dc6a602-1522918225

    ssh out: VIDIOC_S_STD ERROR 25, Inappropriate ioctl for device
    sftp getFile(./screenshot.png, java.awt.Image)


    and from putty


    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ v4l2-ctl --list-devices
    ezcap U3 capture (usb-20980000.usb-1.3):
    /dev/video0

  • try it this way


    https://hyperion-project.org/w…-V42L-Grabber-USB-Grabber


    it is also a video0...try to make a screenhsot



    this is the output?

    this is the problem for sure, when i do a v4l2-ctl --list-formats 'MJPG' is the only supported pixel format, like I said I guess this means I'am out of luck


    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ v4l2-ctl --list-formats
    ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
    Index : 0
    Type : Video Capture
    Pixel Format: 'MJPG' (compressed)

  • Hm I don't know exactly how it works but I took a quick look in the sourcecode.
    Perhabs it is possible to implement it for hyperion. But I don't how different & difficult the implementation would be.


    @Paulchen-Panther do you have an idea?


    I'm willing to try anything with some guidance, I have some linux experience but nothing crazy to the standards of a developer..

    Please excuse me for contacting you so late. I had a look last weekend and i think it is possible to implement the MJPEG encoding. I will come to programming this Sunday.
    I have no V4L2 device what MJPEG outputs, so I will try to use a virtual device.
    I will not forget you, I promise.

    That awesome thanks... let me know and I'm More then willing to test and try what you need

    Could you test my branch? I added some debug output in case it did not work. So please start Hyperion with the debug switch. (hyperion -d)
    If any questions, please do not be shy. ;)
    Note: Please install the additional dependency libjpeg-dev (sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev)

    You might need to dumb that down for me sorry. How do I install your branch of hyperion?
