A couple of days ago I submitted a patch for the HVR-1300 to fix a problem where the s-video would have the comb filter enabled even when capturing on s-video. This caused distortion of the video, as Florent Audebert pointed out on the linux-media mailing list. The weird thing is that it only happened when… Read More

HVR-1150/1120 IR support

We’ve worked that into a patch and this appears to have fixed the issue, a working tree is here. We’ll be requesting this is merged… Read More
