If you tell me how I can very these patches are in the 3.13-rc4 kernel, I will.

Now I try to build the linux kernel with the latest kernel drivers by following the BuildingKernelModule Wiki. Great, so userspace looks like it's working. No audio, but I believe this is not available with the userspace tool. Maybe the camera is outputting PAL at 30 fps I'll have to verify this. Setting the mplayer command line to request fps=30 instead gives a steady clear picture. This results in a picture that jumps every second or so. somagic-capture | mplayer -nocache -vf yadif -fps 25 -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo "pal:format=uyvy:fps=25" -aspect 4:3.
Running the somagic-init executable root correctly uploads the firmware to the Easycap and running dmesg shows the expected output 1c88:003f output from lsusb is:īus 001 Device 004: ID 1c88:003f Somagic, Inc.Īttach a PAL camcorder for a video source and run mplayer to capture the piped output from somagic-capture Plugging in the Easycap to one of the USB ports and running dmesg shows the expected output of 1c88:0007.
