Wrong Capture Card Detected

rrrssssss · 12-20-2005, 04:33 AM

Hello forum,

I have two capture cards installed, a Turtle Beach PCI Advantage and a Win TV 150 but all of my video applications always runs from the Turtle Beach card. How can I get my video applications to run from the Win TV 150 card instead?

Device Manager (generated by HAL) has multimedia/v4l entries for the Turtle Beach card but does not have any multimedia/v4l entries for the Win TV 150 card.

dmesg for the Turtle Beach card is as follows:

So my main two questions would be:

1) Why are there not any multimedia/v4l entries for the Win TV 150 card in Device Manager?
2) If the Win TV 150 card is indeed working properly, how can I get my video applications to run from it instead from the Turtle Beach card?

Thanks much in advance,
Roy

well looking at the ivtv output it's screaming for firmware, which you don't seem to have provided. you'll find the firmware on the net somewhere no doubt if you just search by file name. as for this Device Manager thingy... if it's information from HAL, then i would assume that it is only referring to /dev entries etc... not raw hardware identifcation. this would again be from the cx88 driver not loading and thus there being no /dev/video1 or such like device to run from. if you do get the drivers loaded you would have /dev/video1 as well as /dev/video0 so you'd normally just pass that as a parameter or change the config. Remember in UNIX EVERYTHING* is a file

* well.. nearly... apart from network interfaces and a few other misc devices.
