USB Grabber blank screen after reinstall

I’ve had Hyperion running for almost 5 years, and my SD card died. I started from scratch. Now I can’t get my usb grabber to show live video.

Thinking my grabber died too, I got a new one, with same results.

Android grabber works fine.

Flashed latest hyperbian to fresh new SD card

Downgrading to 2.0.16 worked. Thank you for the suggestion. I also had to remove my config file and start from scratch. I attempted the nightly build just in case, but that didn’t work either.

Thank you again
