Sundtek Support Forum

I'm trying to use Sundtek MediaTV Pro USB-Stick on some remote box, but it fails to play any video.

I'm using recent sundtek_installer_development.sh (also tried sundtek_installer_100327.sh and sundtek_installer_100916.sh although).

The device shows up in "/opt/bin/mediaclient -e" output, but mplayer cannot play it. It shows just green screen and constantly complains for "v4l2: select timeout" while playing.

Example:
debian:~/test# mplayer -nosound tv:// -tv device=/dev/video1 -vo yuv4mpeg -ao null

Signal is present. Channel scanning with scantv works.

Usual USB camera (/dev/video0) works.
"--tvdummy" also works.

(Of course I first tried to just plug MediaTV (without any other USB devices) and "mplayer tv://" with the same effect)

How to make it work?
