Hey Folks!
Recently, I ventured out on building a FreeBSD based HTPC and so far I am have been impressed. The only thing that is missing from my configuration is TV capture. I have the recommended hardware, but I have not had any luck with debugging the issue.
I have a Pinnacle PCTV 801e SE YUANRD card which is detected accordingly by my FreeBSD 9.0 system which I am trying to configure with MythTV.
Today, I downloaded the two firmware pieces mentioned in the WebCamCompat wiki page and put them /boot/modules. The webcamd module is compiled with the MAKE_DEBUG option to spew debugging information.
Here is the usbconfig info -
ugen4.3: <PCTV 801e YUANRD> at usbus4, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON
bLength = 0x0012
bDescriptorType = 0x0001
bcdUSB = 0x0200
bDeviceClass = 0x0000
bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000
bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000
bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040
idVendor = 0x2304
idProduct = 0x023a
bcdDevice = 0x0100
iManufacturer = 0x0001 <YUANRD>
iProduct = 0x0002 <PCTV 801e>
iSerialNumber = 0x0003 <0F00AED0E6>
bNumConfigurations = 0x0001
When I start webcamd I get the following -
au0828 driver loaded
