Is my Easycap the problem?

  • Ok I've got a Pi3 running OSMC, and a WS281b strip connected to a Aurdino Pro Mini and a USB-to-TTL. I'm using a bunch of parts from an earlier Hyperion setup for this new one.


    I can change the LEDs with hypercon or the app on my phone.


    I can not get the LEDs to mimic what is on screen, except when I take a screenshot in Hypercon. A screenshot in hypercon results in all blue LEDs.


    I'm thinking that the Pi3 can't grab internally, so I have to use a HDMI spliter and USB video capture. That's ok I want to do that anyway for my other inputs. But I think my Easycap USB video capture is not supported. It's new I did not use video capture on my old Hyperion setup. When I enable GrabberVL42 in hypercon I get the following upon loading config


    ssh in: Jan 26 13:20:21 IansPi1Media hyperiond[10662]: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
    ssh in: Jan 26 13:20:21 IansPi1Media hyperiond[10662]: what(): VIDIOC_S_STD ERROR 25, Inappropriate ioctl for device

    ssh in: Jan 26 13:20:21 IansPi1Media systemd[1]: Unit hyperion.service entered failed state.


    dmesg shows this when the Easycap USB capture is plugged in.

    And finally lsusb shows the following when the USB capture is connected.
    Bus 001 Device 007: ID 534d:0021



    I've not been able to ID the chipset on the Easycap the chip says ob-mba22n on it.


    I really appreciate any assistance.

  • I thought I read the pi3's hardware wasn't compatible with internal grabbing. Thanks I'll look into it again.


    Yeah right now I want to grab the video from my OSMC, additionally I want to grab a cable box and console.


    I may have an issue with my Arduino. I think it's resetting shortly after starting. I have another full arduino loaned out, I'll try with it shortly. Also I don't think the screengrab I talked about in the first post was working, now that I try again.


    I fell the fact I can control the LEDs from hypercon and mobile app means I'm missing something dumb.
