  • Hi again Paulchen and TP.. I hope you are both well.


    I am sorry to necro this thread. But after months of near flawless operation with
    Alpha 9, I am experiencing the same issues again. I turned my box on today, and the grabber (STK1160) is not detected.


    It is listed under v4l2-ctl, and I have tried to set the grabber with v4l2-ctrl -i, but the grabber is not usable.. I've not changed any configurations.. so not sure why I am suddenly getting this issue again?


    Here are some logs:



    Last line shows frame too small, like before.


    Has there been any progress on the bug fixes with the capture cards? :)

    did you set up the grabber?

    in web-ui to this width and height? or is it on auto?

    It was on auto, that has always worked. But I have just set to 1920x1080 via the web UI (I am assuming this is the resolution of the scaler?) but the log still shows it to be 720x576:

    Here is my v4l output, it also shows 720x576:



    It shows composite, which is correct...



    When I install mplayer and run that command I get a lot of output, it looks as though there are a lot of errors:



    Where do I go from here?

  • or you buy this one, works fine with Hyperion.NG last versions https://nl.aliexpress.com/item…042311.0.0.27424c4d40AJi5


    I can get that, but I wonder if that will actually help? The STK1160 is supposed to be fully supported. Is that not the case now?


    No one seems to know why the STK1160 isn't working... basically *the* main supported card (or at the very least one of the 2 supported cards)... I don't have a problem dropping money on another card if that's the solution, but I do have a problem ordering another card, waiting 2 weeks, only to find it's got exactly the same issues when it gets here because it's an alpha bug and not the card. Why does it work 99% of the time? I hadn't changed anything on my end.


    In any case, it's working again now. If all I have to do is set to manual then back to auto every 3 months, I can do that while I wait for non-alpha versions. Maybe the next step is to open an issue on git so this can be investigated.


    Also, I noticed in the reviews of the above card that the output resolution is limited to 720x576... the same as what I see for my card in the logs, so that seems to be common with these cheapo capture cards.



  • I dont know what is the problem with STK1160 but it can be the card itself inside, chip coming loose / have to solder it, gets too hot or whatever. ;)


    I mean software doesn't change on her own so mostly when these thing happen is my experience that hardware is faulty or just faulty enough to have sometimes problems and other times it works. Especially when it worked before on Hyperion.ng


    The capture card is set at my friend no mistaken 1080p in Hyperion.ng 2.09 Alpha
    And you quote that the hdmi cards promise 1080p but in fact never go higher then 720p.
    I have to say that my AV grabber receives 1080p from the converter but output is 720p . These are analog and not digital. Maybe the problem is the hdmi capture cards have to do too much to run on the power supply from usb and port cant deliver that high and card scales down. Who knows.
