[GEM-dev] [pix_video] not working with usbtv driver/Easycap capture card

[Antonio Roberts]

I'm using PD extended 0.43.4 on Ubuntu 13.10 and have a problem with 
[pix_video].

I have two Easycap USB composite capture cards. One of them has the DC60 
chipset and uses the stk1160 driver and works with PD/Gem i.e. I'm able 
to use it (plus an old video camera) as a video input device (very useful!)

The second one I have 
(www.amazon.co.uk/EasyCap-DC60-Capture-Adapter-Software/dp/B003QA7MES/ ) 
doesn't use the stk1160 driver and instead uses the usbtv driver.

When I load the video device (usually /dev/video1) into [pix_video] it 
completely freezes PD (watchdog: signaling pd... keeps being repeated in 
the command line).

This seems to be an error with GEM as the capture card works in every 
other application that I've tried it on (Cheese, Camorama, 
avconv/ffmpeg, web applications)

Is there any way to diagnose and fix this?

Antonio
