Hyperion.NG 2.10 Hyperbian latest build, problems with USB Capturing device

hello great developers and community,

being very happy with Hyperion.NG and helped a lot of members here trough the years.

now i recently upgraded my build, so flashed Hyperbian image onto a empty SD card and started.

then without problems everything runs on SPI.

did all my updates, also firmware updates and sudo apt-get update/ upgrade and everything.

so far so good, used all my old hardware from my old build.

USB capturing has a flaw, when rebooted then HYperion boots into starteffect and then empty live feed.

when i disable USB capturing and then save, and then reenable again then the lights and also live feed re-engages.

sometimes its visible into the Hyperion menu, no Capturing device is to be selected,

when i select a diffrent resolution most of time it comes back to life, it seems like the library of Hyperion can't understand the resolution/live feed that's coming in something like that.\

I've also read that more members than only myself have often problems with the capturing device on Hyperion 2.10 Alpha

i know this is a problem of Hyperion 2.10 because with the exact same hardware ( Other SD card same type) it runs flawlesly on my old build Hyperion 1.00 Béta on the same Raspi, that build i have done the same updates to it

i just wanted you guys to know Lord-Grey  Paulchen-Panther because something is fishy here...

update: its also in the root of the PI> if booted into Hyperion and then no capturing device to be selected than i go to terminal and with lsusb or dmesg there is no capturing device to see.

if rebooted a couple of times then i see it again

Note: i tried another type USB grabber that behaves the same.

selecting a diffrent encoding from YUYV to MJPEG and resolution results into freezing of Hyperion, can not use it any more and Putty/SSH doesn't work.

When rebooting then starteffect ) knightrider( freezes,

after I disconnect the capturing device ( + 5 volts with relais) and rebooting again > Pi boots and Hyperion launch the starteffect.

then when going to http://192.168.1.19:8090/#conf_general and selecting encoding back to YUYV and resolution + save > then Leds firing again, and stay lit.

My experience is: when you did al the mentioned steps i talked about and the grabber functions again in Hyperion.NG and you can save the settings and still functions,

then monitor the grabber and live for a time ( aka hour) if its not fading away then when you reboot next time with exact saved settings, the grabber will fire.

I found that when grabber is enabled in hyperion.NG 2.10 Alpha the next reboots ( hardware reboot of Raspi) will be no problem to recognize the USB capturing device, i think it has to do with settings that are already set before you boot into Hyperion.

so long story shortened: no i don't think its a problem but you have to be a little handy" and tweak with the settings.

also

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

will help.
