Ubunteros!
I recently purchased an EasyCap USBTV007, of which there are four variants. This item takes your video stream via RCA and converts it to USB so you can record/view video streams on your PC/laptop. That said, the model I have was identified through this resource:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Easycap
I use Ubuntu 12.04LTS PAE with Mate desktop. The kernel version is:
myname@myname:~$ uname -r
3.5.0-48-generic
When I run lsusb with the USBTV007 in place I get:
myname@myname:~$ lsusb

FYI- when the USBTV007 is inserted it does burn green.
The above suggests to me that I need a driver for the EasyCap USBTV007 to become recognized. Thus, I did a search for drivers and found this resource @:
https://github.com/mwelchuk/usbtv
This is a backported driver for the Fushicai USBTV007 Video Grabber, sold as one of the "EasyCAP" USB devices.
The initial code copied from v3.14-rc5-232-gb053940 and backported to the 3.2 kernel (as used in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, which was the purpose for this backporting exercise).
Installation
------------
The driver can be built and installed using DKMS. The following commands can be used to install dkms, build and install the driver. Installing the module this way should cause the driver to be rebuilt and installed automatically when the kernel is updated.
Extract these sources into "/usr/src/usbtv-1.0". Run the follwoing commands:
$ sudo -i
# apt-get install dkms
# dkms add -m usbtv -v 1.0
# dkms build -m usbtv -v 1.0
# dkms install -m usbtv -v 1.0
# chkconfig dkms_autoinstaller on
What I'd like to know is this:
1. Would this backport be compatible with my kernel version?
2. Do I need an account to download from Github?'
3. When you look this github page there are 6 files. As I understand, I can download them to desktop but they must be extraced into the folder at /usr/src/usbtv-1.0.
4. I assume I need to create the directory "usbtv-1.0?
5. Is the code to make directory mkd /usr/src/usbtv-1.0?
I hope this is enough information for advice but if not just let me know.
Thank you!
