Hyperion Not Detecting USB Video Capture

  • Hello,

    I installed hyperion on Rpi 4 and have enabled the USB capture.But hyperion doesn't detect usb video capture when i go to the remote control tab of hyperion and nor can i see a live feed. My video capture device works fine as i checked it in OBS ...Can you tell me what to do?




  • that first screenshot, on that page if you scroll down to USB Capture, check the drop down boxes and see if you can define your device manually, or is it not showing up in there either?



  • take a look there. :thumbup: maybe you find something that helps your problem.

  • I read that thread... This is what it is written there

    "

    Go to the WebUI and menu USB grabber;


    Device; USB video: USB video

    Input; Camera1 ( or higher)

    Resolution; in 16/9 lowest as possible and then build up the resolution

    Size decimation; set to at least 4 until 12 >> the higher count, the worse image

    Frames a second; 15FPS or go lower and higher.

    "

    The main issue is that my hyperion doesn't detect the usb capture in the first place...So i don't see the "USB Video" option under the USB capture tab to proceed further as instructed above.

    For more information about the video capture type dmesg | grep -i Video.

    When i plug any other usb device in my Rpi 4 like a flash drive ..it immediately shows up in lsusb

  • Hi I'm new here and have just got my first raspberry pi Hyperion project working with reasonable ease. From what I see my setup is exactly as you have done.


    I might be able to offer an idea


    I have noticed that the blue LED on my video capture device wasn't lighting up indicating a stable video input and Hyperion was not detecting the video capture device. I power cycled the video capture box including the 2 HDMI cables (as there is 5V power on the HDMI cable) and micro USB power and USB data cables.


    When I connected the HDMI input source last I got the Blue LED and then Hyperion recognized the USB device and I could configure it as per the pic attached.


    maybe your capture device needs the same reboot?


    Hope this helps.



  • Yeah it worked but the USB Video option vanishes after sometime

  • Manish Verma: Seems the "Video capture with loop" is not recognized in your system.

    If you have a windows PC, stick in the capture card and open the camera app.

    The RGB test picture should appear the monitor.

  • The video capture device is working fine when i checked with OBS in my windows pc..But in Hyperion it works for just a few minutes and then vanishes...


    I think i have to try with some other video capture device.

  • Strange... normally all devices with Macrosilicon 2109 chipset (534d:2109) works fine... :/
