Description papoteur 2012-04-14 16:29:08 CEST

Description of problem:
The card can not used with this two applications. When launched in console:
$ tvtime
Utilise tvtime 1.0.2.
Lit la configuration depuis /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/root/.tvtime/tvtime.xml"
xvoutput: No XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images.

*** tvtime requires hardware YUY2 overlay support from your video card
*** driver. If you are using an older NVIDIA card (TNT2), then
*** this capability is only available with their binary drivers.
*** For some ATI cards, this feature may be found in the experimental
*** GATOS drivers: http://gatos.souceforge.net/
*** If unsure, please check with your distribution to see if your
*** X driver supports hardware overlay surfaces.

I precise that xawtv displays a black screen which is dead.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,

Mageia 3 comes with kernel drivers for PCI devices 109e:036e and 109e:0878. Are you able to get the card to work with any other software besides those two? Do you get a picture in test.jpg after running the command:

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 num-buffers=1 ! jpegenc ! filesink location=test.jpg

Change /dev/video0 to be the video device name of your capture card, and try gst-launch-0.10 if you don't have the one above.
