I have an Adaptec 3610/hp hooked up to a Ubuntu 16 machine because they only ever supplied 32 bit drivers, and 32 bit win 7 bsod when booting from an external hard drive
Is There any way to get this working? If not as a tv tuner then as a capture device? Nextpvr says i have no devices, only iptv. vlc wont even capture from my webcam, but this is what i get from terminal
v4l2-ctl --list-devices
HP Truevision HD (usb-0000:00:13.2-1):
/dev/video0

NextPVR only supports digital devices. If you want to support an analog device for basic standard analog NTSC capture you will need to create an extra.

From v4l2-ctl I can't tell if /dev/video0 is your camera, but I think it is so I don't think the Adaptec is even being detected. The script you call might be as simple as this but it will depend on may factors.


Beyond that I don't support creating command line options for ffmpeg or feeding ffmpeg in an extra. You may need to transcode video add audio devices etc. v4l2-ctrl -l might give you some hints on the capabilities.

Once you can have an ffmpeg command line that can create a supported mpeg-ts file in real time (h264 or mpeg2video with aac, mp3 or mpeg2audio) then we can explain the extra.
