    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.

    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?

    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? :)

    :(


    What is that supposed to mean?


    "Hey Bob! Switch to NG!"?


    I am.. as mentioned at the start of this thread. In fact, alpha 6.


    "And get an STK1160 or UTV007!"


    Ok, done...


    I know this is alpha stage, but if it's what you're recommending then there's not much I can do because that's what I'm running..... HyperBian in fact.


    Seems like NG has some real issues around hardware detection/use.


    The STK is here! And it really is an STK:


    Code
    Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05e1:0408 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd STK1160 Video Capture Device


    Problem is, I cannot get it to work. I am getting these errors:


    Code
    [hyperiond V4L2:/dev/video0] (ERROR) Frame too small: 827264 != 829440

    v4l2-ctl -I:


    Code
    Video input : 0 (Composite0: ok)


    v4l2-ctl -n:



    I have tried 0-3.. but the output is black in the preview...


    Any ideas?

    Yes, I have already checked. The result is the same on both and my Ubuntu laptop. Mine was advertised as the STK1160, and by the time I received it, "STK1160" had been removed from the listing, so I think they knew it was not. I already got a refund for it. I sent the seller the lsusb screenshot and they refunded without question. I have ordered another unit from a different supplier. I will see what happens when it arrives.

    Weird. Mine still isn't working. Well, bearing in mind that when I first installed NG and everything was set to auto like you and all worked well, then it stopped working despite troubleshooting/reinstalling etc I can only conclude that it's faulty.


    I've got an STK on order (has been for over a week) but they still haven't dispatched. If they don't dispatch tomorrow, I'm just gonna grab one from Sun Stars on Ali.

    Connected to the yellow composite.

    Thank you for posting! I have been scratching my head over this because it did work before. I think I will try HyperBian and see if that makes a difference. I didn't notice a green tint, but I will have a look if I can get it running again. Thanks again for the info!
